This Privacy Policy (‘the Policy’) (together with any other of our terms and conditions, and any other documents referred to in them) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide, will be processed by us. Please read this Policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
We will only use your personal data in the manner set out in this Policy and in a way that is fair to you. We will only collect personal data where it is necessary for us to do so and where it is relevant to our dealings with you. We will only keep your personal data for as long as it is relevant to the purpose for which it was collected or for as long as we are required to keep it by law.
The Policy sets out (1) who we are and describes (2) the information we collect (3) how we use your information (4) where we store your information and (5) the lawful basis of processing.
For the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulations (the “Regulations”), the data controller is Prism Ideas Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 4094123, whose registered office is, Unit 2 Morston House, Princes Court, Beam Heath Way, Nantwich, Cheshire, England, CW5 6GD.
We will refer to Prism Ideas Ltd, as (‘the Company’, “us”, “we”, or “our”) which operates www.prismideas.com, the “Site”.
The user of our Site and other business or personal contacts that we deal with as clients, third parties or suppliers are referred to as ‘you’ or ‘your’.
This Policy explains what happens to any personal data that you provide, or that is collected from you as part of our usual business, marketing and/or accessing our Site.
We use your personal information to provide you and third parties with quotes on our services and to ensure that we keep in touch with our client and contact base with targeted emails and marketing content.
Data protection principles
We will comply with the UK Data Protection Act 2018. This law says that the personal information we hold about you must be:
The majority of the data that we collect and store will be business data relating to the clients, suppliers and third parties we are dealing with. However, as part of our business and marketing processes we will be collecting and using limited personal data (‘Personal Data’) to include names, email addresses, addresses and mobile phone numbers (where applicable). If you contact us, we will keep a record of that correspondence.
We use your Personal Data to provide you with information, proposals and quotes regarding our business and the services that we offer. We may from time to time keep in touch with our contact base with targeted information-based emails. We are aware that clients and contacts will also be accessing our Site and that by accessing the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy.
While using our Site and undertaking business with the Company with the view to supplying or purchasing our expertise, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you.
We use your information to provide you with our business. We may also use your information in the following ways:
We will generally process Personal Data regarding clients, suppliers, third parties and people that we provide our services to as we are under contract. The processing of such Personal Data is necessary for the relevant contract or we have been asked to take specific steps before entering into a contract.
We may also process limited Personal Data of contacts for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the Company. We have a legitimate interest in keeping in touch with our clients and contacts which may include sending targeted emails regarding news about our business. We have balanced this legitimate interest of the Company against the rights of the individual and do not conclude this is unreasonable, as at all times the data subject has a right to be forgotten and their Personal Data to be deleted. As part of sending targeted marketing emails about our business we may seek consent from you and you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time.
Clients: we need to keep your Personal Data to allow us to ensure compliance with the contract. We keep a record of client work for at least 6 years after the contract, although we have a legitimate business interest to keep details of client work for longer than this period in order to provide the best possible service to our clients. We will keep limited Personal Data of clients to include contact details and transactional history for longer than this 6-year period as many of our clients return to us and we need to retain such data to assist us provide this service.
Contractors: we will retain relevant Personal Data for a period of up to 7 years from the end of the tax year following the termination of a contractor agreement, in order to comply with our obligations to keep records for certain legal reasons.
Third parties: we will keep certain Personal Data on third parties to allow us to comply with our contractual obligations and provide our services for at least 6 years after a contract or project has finished. We will keep limited Personal Data of third parties for longer than this 6-year period, where relevant, as we may need to contact third parties or refer to projects where they were involved.
Recruitment: If you apply for a job with us, we may use your information for the purposes of recruitment and selection, corresponding with you and equal opportunities monitoring. We will not store your Personal Data for more than 12 months if you are not successful, unless you give us permission to keep your information on file for future recruitment opportunities.
Where we are a data processor and not a data controller
There may be circumstances where we act as a data processor only and in such cases we will process data on the instructions of the client, as the data controller. It may be in such circumstances we process, in addition to the categories of Personal Data above, special categories of data and data relating to employment. In these circumstances all relevant safeguards will apply to such data and processing will only be used for the purposes it is collected for. However, most of the client work that we deal with will not involve Personal Data.
On-line contact
We collect information you give us when you register or use our Site, including asking us to contact you. We require only the information we need to provide a service to you, such as your name, address, telephone number and email address. Where we would like more information to help us improve our services, over and above the basic required information, it will be clear that your response is voluntary and you are free not to provide us with more information if you would prefer not to do so.
