Cryer&Coe architects

1.   Introduction 

 

Like most companies, Cryer and Coe Ltd. needs to collect and use your personal details for a variety of purposes. This privacy notice provides you with details of what information we collect and how we process your personal data including any information you may provide through our website. 

 

Cryer and Coe Ltd is responsible for your personal data (referred to as “we”, “us” or “our” in this privacy notice). If you have any questions or concerns about our personal data policies and procedures, please contact us by sending an email to amy@cryerandcoe.co.uk

 

If you are not happy with any aspect of how we collect and use your data please contact us so that we can try to resolve your concern.

 

You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues www.ico.org.uk.

  

It is very important that the information we hold about you is accurate and up to date. If your personal information changes please email amy@cryerandcoe.co.uk

 

2.  Data we collect about you

 

Personal data means any information capable of identifying an individual; however it does not include anonymised data.

 

Typically, the business to business personal data we collect about you is limited to the types of information found on a business card.

 

We may process certain types of personal data about you as follows:

 

   •      Identity Data may include your first name, last name, username, marital status, title and date of birth.

   •      Contact Data may include your billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.

   •      Financial Data may include your bank account

   •      Transaction Data may include details about payments between us and other details of purchases made by you.

   •      Technical Data may include your login data, internet protocol addresses, browser type and version, browser plug-in types and versions, time zone setting and             location, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our website.

   •      Website Usage Data may include information about how you use our website.

   •      Marketing Contact Preference Data may include your preferences in receiving marketing from us and your communication preferences.

    

We may also process aggregated data from your personal information but this would not reveal your identity because it is not personal data. An example of this is where we review your usage data to work out the percentage of website users using a specific feature of our site. If we link the aggregated data with your personal data so that you can be identified from it, then it is treated as personal data.

 

Sensitive data for recruitment

 

The only occasion where we may collect sensitive personal data about you is during our recruitment process. This is because we are committed to ensuring that our recruitment processes are in line to equal opportunities. This may include your maiden name and gender.

 

Some of the data we may collect about you comes under the umbrella of diversity information. This could be about your ethnic background, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation and religion or other similar beliefs. Where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, we'll use this information on an anonymised basis to monitor our compliance with our Equal Opportunities Policy.

 

This information is termed ‘sensitive’ personal information and slightly stricter data protection rules will apply. We therefore need to obtain your explicit consent before we can use it. This means that you have to explicitly and clearly tell us that you agree to us collecting and using this information.

 

Please note that you are not obliged to consent to opt-in to this and you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you wish to withdraw your consent please contact us.

6.  Data security

 

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We also limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such data.

By law we have to keep basic information about our clients for six years after they cease being clients for tax purposes.

 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
