Clients
As a business client, we may hold the following information about you:

  • Name, job title and business contact information
  • Information relation to your business activities
  •  Company financial details
  • Demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests
  • Information and documents relating to the services we are providing, including communications with you
  • Analytics and usage data, including login/password details where you have shared these with us and require us to store them

As a residential client, we may hold the following information about you:

• Name and contact information

• Demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests
• Information and documents relating to the services we are providing, including communications with you
• Analytics and usage data, including login/passwords details where you have shared these with us and require us to store them
• Billing and payment information.

We store your information in our customer relationship management (CRM) system, which uses secure servers based in Ireland and the US, and on our own secure servers based in the UK. We use an issue tracking system to help us provide IT support services to you, which has servers based in the UK and Iceland (EEA). The proposal builder we use has servers based in Canada, which the UK and EU have recognised as a country which protects data in line with our own regulations. We also use an online accounting system to manage billing and

payments, which uses secure servers based in the USA. This means your data is transferred outside of the EEA; we always review the privacy policy to ensure that the software provider is signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield Agreement, which helps to ensure the security of your data. Communications with you will be stored in our email system, which has servers located in the EU.

We will retain your information for the duration of our relationship with you, then for a minimum of 2 years after; at this point we will undertake a review to determine whether we have any reason to continue retaining the data or whether we securely destroy it. We will retain financial records for 6 years, following the end of the current financial year.

claireLOGIC also acts as a data processor; where we have provided infrastructure services which store client data (and may include personal data those clients are responsible for), we will retain this for the duration of the contract and a maximum of 6 months after the contract end, unless otherwise agreed at the outset of the contract.

Prospective Clients
As a prospective client, we may hold the following information about you:

• Name, job title and business contact information
• Brief information relating to your business and your IT support requirements
• Demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests
• Communications with you

We store your information in our customer relationship management (CRM) system, which uses secure servers based in Ireland and the US, and on our own secure servers based in the UK. Details relating to any proposal we provide you with will be stored in our online system, which uses secure servers in Canada.

Communications with you relating to your initial enquiry may also be stored in our email system for a period of 12 months. We will hold your information for as long as we are responding to your enquiry, and for a period of up to 12 months if you choose not to work with us.

A limited amount of your personal data will also be included on systems we use to support our customers, for example our issue-tracking system, which uses secure servers in the UK and Iceland, our customer feedback system and accounting system, both of which use servers based in the USA. This means your data is transferred outside of the EEA; we always review the privacy policy to ensure that the software provider is signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield Agreement, which helps to ensure the security of your data. Communications with you will be stored in our email system, which has servers located in the EU.

We will retain your personal data for the duration of your employment and for a period of 7 years after you leave the business. Beyond this point, we only retain minimal information about you to confirm the period of time you were employed by the business for reference purposes. We share your information with HMRC, and our chosen pension / benefits providers.

Suppliers
When you work with the business as a supplier, we may hold the following information about you:

• Name and business contact information
• Information relating to your qualifications and experience, if relevant
• Demographic information such as postcode
• Information relating to your business activities
• Information and documents relating to the services or products you offer, including our communications with you
• Financial information.

We store your information on our file server, which uses secure servers based in the EU. We will also store communications with you on our email system, based in the EEA. We will retain your information for the duration of our relationship with you and for 2 years after the last purchase we made with you. Details of financial transactions, which may include your personal data, will be retained for 6 years, plus the current financial year.

Who has access to your information?
We do not sell or rent your personal data or information to any third party or share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

We will disclose your data or information if required by law, for example by a court order or for the prevention of fraud or other crime.

We may pass your information on to third party service providers for the purposes of completing a task or providing services to you on our behalf. However, we disclose only the personal information necessary to deliver that service and have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for other purposes.

Transfers outside of the European Economic Area
Your personal information in the European Economic Area (EEA) is protected by data protection laws, but other countries do not necessarily protect your personal information in the same way. The EEA covers all countries in the EU plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. As outlined above, we do use systems where servers are based in non-EEA countries. We make appropriate checks to ensure that your data will remain secure when transferred to non-EEA countries. The UK & EU Commission have determined that a limited number of countries worldwide have a comparable data protection framework to secure and protect personal data: Canada is included on this list. Where your personal data is transferred to the USA, we always review the privacy policy to ensure that the software provider is signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield Agreement, which helps to ensure the security of your data.

Your rights
You have certain rights over the processing of your personal information by Pebble Bay Consulting. These are:

• The right to be informed, which is what this privacy policy is for
• The right to access the data we hold about you
• The right to object to direct marketing
• The right to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests
• The right to erasure (in some circumstances)
• The right to data portability
• The right to have your data rectified if it is inaccurate
• The right to have your data restricted or blocked from processing

We do not undertake direct marketing activities, so you will not receive such information from us.

If you change your contact details or if you want to update any of the information we hold on you, please email us at: dataprotection@clairelogic.net or by post at: Data Protection Lead, claireLOGIC, 11 The Chambers, Vineyard, Abingdon, OX14 3PX.

Keeping your data secure
When you give us personal information we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely and strive to protect it on our internal systems. We closely control who can access the personal data we are responsible for, and the servers we use are encrypted.

Contacting us via email
We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt and protect email traffic in line with government standards. If your email service does not support TLS, you should be aware that any emails we send or receive may not be protected in transit.

We will also monitor any emails sent to us, including file attachments, for viruses or malicious software. Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send is within the bounds of the law.
