5. FOR WHAT PURPOSES WILL WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

Necessary for the entry into or performance of a contract

When you enter into a transaction with us, a contract between you and us will have been entered into. In order for us to fulfil our obligations under such contract (e.g. to allow you to place an order for goods or services, or for you to supply goods or services to us), we will need to collect, process and share (as further detailed below) your personal information. Failure to provide the requisite personal information when placing your order and financial information on entering into the transaction or objecting to this type of processing / exercising your deletion rights will unfortunately mean we cannot provide our goods or services to you, or you supply goods or services to us.

Legitimate business interests

We use your personal data for the legitimate interests of our business to enable us to:

  • accept goods and services from you, or provide you with goods and services as requested by you;
  • manage and administer you or your organisation’s business relationship with Truduct, including the processing of payments, accounting, auditing, billing and collection and support services;
  • comply with our legal and compliance obligations;                                                                       
  • develop and improve our services to our customers and suppliers;
  • administer and improve our website to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner;
  • provide customer support;
  • protect the safety and security of our facilities (for example through the use of CCTV on our premises);
  • manage insurance requirements;
  • monitor and assess compliance with our policies and procedures.

We may also process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • communicating with you through available means, to keep you up to date with information on our products, services and prices, and general company news;
  • collecting information about your preferences so that we can personalise the quality of our communications and interactions with you.

With regard to direct communications of this nature, you have the right to “opt out” at any time should you not wish to receive direct communications from us by emailing us at sales@truduct.co.uk

We have a legitimate interest in processing your information as:

  • we will both benefit from the provision of goods and services under any contract between us;
  • we are required to ensure health and safety of our premises and have a legitimate interest in ensuring any processes are effective;
  • we have a legitimate interest in ensuring the security of our premises, and in assisting with the prevention and detection of crime;
  • we would be unable to provide our goods and services without processing your information.

We consider that it is reasonable for us to process your personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests outlined above, as we process your personal data only so far as is necessary to achieve the purpose outlined in this privacy policy, and the processing of your personal data does not unreasonably intrude on your privacy.

Special Categories of Personal Data

Other than select biometric data collected when you visit one of our premises (CCTV images), we do not collect any Special Category data of customers, suppliers or advisors whether existing or prospective.

Personal Data of Children

We do not knowingly collect information from children, and we do not use our website to knowingly solicit personal information from or market to children. If we learn that someone under age 18 has provided personally identifiable information through one of our Sites, we will use reasonable efforts to remove that information from our systems.

6. SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

We may share your information between Truduct and associated companies but only for the purposes specified in this policy. 
We may also use a number of carefully selected third parties to supply us with products and services, such as (but not limited to) supply chain operators, credit checks, reference checks and legal advice.  We will only share your information with these suppliers where it is necessary for them to provide us with the services we need.

We do not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

7. PERSONAL DATA ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE WHICH YOU SHARE WITH US

If you provide personal data to us concerning another person, you must ensure that you have the right to disclose that personal data to us and that we may collect, use and disclose that personal data (examples include the personal data of your directors, officers, employees or any other persons with whom you have business dealings or connections).  You must ensure that the person concerned is aware of all the matters outlined in this Policy which relate to them.

8. TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL DATA ABROAD

We may transfer your data abroad if required for the purposes as outlined in this Policy. Such transfers are subject to appropriate or suitable safeguards as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or other relevant laws.

9. RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy, or otherwise legally required or permitted. This may be up to 6 years, unless a longer or shorter retention period is required or permitted by law.

We will also retain your personal data if it is required by Truduct Entities to assert or defend legal claims, until such time that the claims have been settled or the relevant retention period has expired.

10. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The personal data we hold on you may be stored electronically or in hard copy. We have put in place reasonable physical, technical, and organisational measures to safeguard the information we hold. Such measures include, but are not limited to: system access restrictions and authentication, firewall and virus protection systems, and physical security systems.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us; any transmission is at your own risk. 

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at sales@truduct.co.uk. In the unlikely event that we believe the security of your personal information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If such a notification is appropriate, we will endeavour to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances.
