We have created this privacy policy to give you information about how we collect and process your personal data through our website (www.sensemktg.com). This includes when you make an enquiry through our website form, download our eBooks, subscribe to our newsletters and access any other resources on our website.

It is important that you read this privacy notice in full and any other fair processing notices we may provide on specific occasions. This privacy notice is not intended to take precedence over other notices on our website.

WHO IS THE DATA CONTROLLER?

You have the right to make a complaint, at any time, to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The ICO is the UK’s supervisory authority for all data protection issues. You can access their website at https://ico.org.uk.

YOUR DUTY TO INFORM US OF CHANGES AND OUR DUTY TO YOU

Any personal data we hold about you should be accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

Likewise, this privacy policy will be regularly updated to reflect changes in how we collect and process your personal data. We may send you an email notification if this privacy notice changes.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

This website contains links to other websites owned by third parties, plugins and applications which are also owned by third parties. Clicking on these links will establish a connection with a third party. These parties may collect or share data about you.

We do not control these third-party websites and we are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave this website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.

DATA WE COLLECT

The label ‘personal data’ is applied to any information from which an individual can be identified. It does not include data where your identity has been removed (anonymised data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data we hold about you. We have grouped the categories of personal data we may collect into the following groups:

• Identity data includes your name, job title, email address and company.
• Contact data includes your telephone number, email address and delivery/billing addresses you provide us with.
• Technical data includes your IP address, internet browser and version, your location and platform.
• Profile data includes downloads you initiate, websites pages you visit and interactions with email marketing communications.
• Usage data includes information about how you use our website, services and resources.
• Marketing and communications data includes your marketing communications preferences.

We also use, collect and share aggregated data. This data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data, as it does not reveal your identity, either directly or indirectly. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you, such as your race, religious beliefs or health information.

IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

HOW DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA?

Direct interactions. You may give us your identity, contact, profile and financial data by submitting forms on our website. We may also collect this data when you correspond with us by phone, email or post. We may collect personal data through direct interactions when you:

1. request marketing information to be sent to you;
2. apply for more information regarding our products and services;
3. subscribe to our website resource notifications; or
4. make a direct enquiry through our website.

Automated technologies. As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect technical and profile data based on your equipment, site interactions and usage patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies.

Third parties and other publicly available sources. We may receive personal data about you from various third parties as set out below:

1. Technical data from the following parties:
   1. analytics providers such as HubSpot (based outside the EU);
   2. advertising networks such as LinkedIn, Google and Facebook (based outside the EU); and
   3. search information provides such as Google (based outside the EU).
2. Contact, Financial and Transaction Data from providers of technical, payment and delivery services.
3. Identity and Contact Data from publicly available sources, such as LinkedIn (based outside the EU) or Companies House (based inside the EU).

HOW DO WE USE PERSONAL DATA?

We will only ever process your personal data when the law allows us to, by way of consent (when you have given us permission) or legitimate interests (whereby processing your data is necessary to pursue a legitimate commercial or societal interest). Most commonly, we use personal data in the following circumstances:

1. Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
2. Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
3. Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

We do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing personal data. Please note that you have the right to withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time by unsubscribing. You can do this by following the link to your communication preferences placed at the bottom of all our marketing communications.

PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

MARKETING

Our priority is to give you control over the marketing communications and advertising you receive from us. We have several methods in place whereby you can control the types of communications you get.

Opting out. You can manage your marketing preferences at the bottom of any of our email communications. Please note, where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to other communications which conform to our legitimate interests.

Cookies. Your internet browser may be automatically set up to accept web cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, some areas of this website may function irregularly or become inaccessible. If you still wish to disable cookies, review your browser settings or visit http://www.aboutcookies.org.uk/ for instructions.

FOR HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN PERSONAL DATA?

We will only ever retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for. This includes legal, accounting, reporting or regulatory requirements.

When we determine an appropriate retention period, we take into consideration the volume, nature and sensitivity of personal data collected. We also assess the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data.

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?

Under data protection laws, you have the right to request the following (in relation to your personal data) under certain circumstances:

ACCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You can make a data subject access request. This entitles you to a copy of the personal data we hold about you for the purposes of verifying that we are lawfully processing it.

CORRECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

It is important that the data we hold on you is accurate. If you believe that we have incomplete or inaccurate data about you, you may request to have this corrected by us. We may need to verify the accuracy of any new data you provide us.

ERASE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Where there is no good reason for us to continue process your data, you may ask us to delete or remove your personal data. You may also ask for us to erase your personal data after you have exercised your right to object to processing.

We may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons. If this is the case, we will notify you at the time of responding to your request.

OBJECT TO US PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

If we are relying on a legitimate interest to process your personal data in a way that you feel impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms, you may object to us processing your personal data.

Please note that we may demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which overrides your rights and freedoms – for example, where your data is processed for regulatory reasons.

REQUEST RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You can ask us to suspend processing of your personal data in the following circumstances: (a) if you wish for us to establish the accuracy of your data; (b) where the use of the data is unlawful but you do not wish to erase it; (c) if you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it for you to exercise a legal claim; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

REQUEST A PORTABLE VERSION OF YOUR DATA, OR REQUEST TO THE TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

We are able to provide you with a machine-readable format of your data (as a comma separated value document). This right only applies to information which you initially provided us with consent to use or information used to perform a contract with you.

WITHDRAW CONSENT AT ANY TIME

Where we are relying upon consent for processing your personal data, you may withdraw consent at any time. Please note that withdrawing your consent may prevent us from delivering certain services to you.

To exercise any of your legal rights, please get in touch with us at info@senselondon.com.

We will try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Please note, if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests, this may take longer. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee if your request is unfounded, repetitive – alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

GET IN TOUCH

If you have any questions about the ways in which we process your personal data, or if you have questions about how we collect data, then please get in touch with us. You can submit an enquiry through our website form, which can be found at www.sensemktg.com/contact.
