About the personal data that we collect and process

"Personal data", or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified.

We do not collect or process special categories of personal data in the course of providing our Services.

This policy summarises the personal data we collect and process, how we use it ("our processing purposes") and why we use it ("the lawful bases of processing").

How is your personal data obtained?

We use different methods to collect personal data from and about you including through:

  • We may also collect, use and share: "Aggregated Data" such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate data to calculate the percentage of individuals accessing a specific feature of our Website, or to analyse how individuals use our Services. 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.
  • Direct interactions. You may give us your identity, contact, financial, transactional or similar personal data when you correspond with us by post, phone, e-mail or otherwise, including when you use our Services, complete a form on our Website or otherwise contact us via our Website.
  • Direct interactions with business contacts, individual clients and client-related individuals. You may give us your identity, contact, financial, transactional and other business related personal data when you correspond with us, including when:
    • you or your organisation negotiate and/or enter into a contract with us; or
    • you or your organisation provide services or products to us or your organisation receive services from us; or
    • you provide us with your business card.

Failure to provide personal data

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

Marketing/Analytics

Currently we do not collect or share marketing information. For the purpose of Analytics, we collect basic, non-identifiable and non-personal information. If you are an individual consumer or end user, we will only provide you with direct marketing communications where you have consented to receive such communication or you have contacted us directly to request specific information about our Services. You can subscribe to such marketing communications, and you can adjust your marketing preferences at any time by contacting us at contact@info@garder.me.

If you represent another business, we may provide you with direct marketing communications where we feel that this may be relevant to your business (provided that you have not opted out of such communications). When we use your personal data for such purposes, we do so on the basis that it is in our legitimate interests to pursue direct marketing, provided that it constitutes fair processing of your personal data to do so.

You can also opt-out or unsubscribe from all or some of these marketing communications at any time by contacting us at contact@info@garder.me.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing communications, this opt-out will not apply to personal data provided to us for any other purpose.

With whom do we share your personal data?

There may be circumstances in which we may also need to share your personal data with certain third parties (strictly on a confidential, business need-to-know basis). The third parties to which we may transfer your personal data include:

  • Your business or organisation, for the purpose of providing our Services to your business or organisation, or receiving products or services from your business or organisation.
  • Our corporate customers where you are an end user.
  • Our investors and/or shareholders.
  • Service providers acting as processors who provide IT and system administration services.
  • Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, accountants, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
  • Any relevant accreditation body or trade association.
  • Any relevant regulatory authority or law enforcement agency, including HM Revenue & Customs, courts or tribunals who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Any sharing of your personal data will only take place either where we are legally obliged to do so, where it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or where it is in our legitimate interests to do so, including as follows:

  • to maintain network and information security;
  • to provide Services to our corporate clients;
  • to develop and improve our Services in order to remain competitive;
  • to establish, protect and defend our legal rights;
  • to pursue our commercial objectives where this does not override your rights and freedoms as a data subject.

International transfers

We generally do not transfer your personal data out of the European Economic Area (EEA). However, whenever we are required to transfer your personal data out of the EEA (for example where a third party supplier is located outside of the EEA), we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that appropriate safeguards are implemented, including any of the following:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries;
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Standard contractual clauses for data transfers between EU and non-EU countries;
  • Where we use providers based in the USA, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the European Union and the USA. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield;
  • You have provided your explicit consent to the transfer of your personal data outside of the EEA;
  • The transfer is necessary for the purposes of performing a contract between us and you (the data subject).

Automated decision making and profiling

We do not use automated decision-making (including profiling) to make any decisions which would produce a legal effect or similarly significantly affect a data subject.

How long do we retain your personal data?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm 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.

Personal data relating to Website users, end users and business contacts will generally not be retained for longer than 12 months unless such data is relevant to ongoing Services. Personal data relating to individual clients and client-related individuals will generally not be retained for longer than 7 years after conclusion of the relevant services unless such data is relevant to any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Please contact us at contact@info@garder.me for further details about our retention periods.

Data security

If, during data upload or protection/un-protection process, there is a glitch on the server due to any technical fault, your data will be deleted from the server as soon as possible and you will be asked to repeat the process again. Should you have any doubts, contact us immediately at contact@info@garder.me

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and the Information Commissioner's Office of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Your rights

Your personal data is protected by legal rights, which include your rights to:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it;
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us;
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, following your request;
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes;
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
    • if you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
    • where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
    • where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
    • you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party (data portability). We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you;
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@info@garder.me.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, which regulates the processing of personal data, about how we are processing your personal data.

Personal Data

Personal data will be processed by us where you consent to the processing or where that processing is necessary for

  • the performance of a contract with you; or
  • compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject; or
  • the purposes of our legitimate interests (or those of a third party).

We have set out below a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us at contact@info@garder.me if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out below.
