Information Uses

Here at 3SIX5 Digital we take your privacy seriously and will only use your personal data to manage your account and provide tailored services to you. What is GDPR? From 25th May 2018 the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force. It updates the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) which was developed before the development and use of social media, cloud based IT systems etc, and puts the rights of data subjects – that’s you as individuals – at the very heart of the Regulation of data.

Why do we process your personal data? Data protection laws state six lawful reasons why a company may collect and process your personal data: Consent: The individual has given consent to process their personal data for a specific purpose.Contract: The processing is necessary to fulfil a contract with the individual, or because we have asked you to take specific steps before entering into a contract. We will process your personal data to fulfil an order, deliver a service and essentially comply with our contractual obligations.Legal compliance: The processing is necessary for us to comply with the Law. If the law or government requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data. An example might be passing on details of fraud to law enforcement. Vital interests: The processing is necessary to protect someone’s life. Public task: The processing is necessary for us to perform a task in the public interest or for our official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in Law. Legitimate interests: The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests. In cases, we require personal data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business. This does not impact your freedom or rights. Examples might be using your postal or email details to send direct marketing information on content, products and services that we think might interest you with the aim of raising awareness of our business with yours and you, as an employee of that business.
