How do we use your personal data, and what is our legal basis for doing so ?

And here is how we use your personal data, and our relevant legal basis (Our basis) for doing so:

We use this information to maintain your registration with WiSoft Professional Services and administer our relationship with you.  Our basis: Consent and Legitimate Interest (to remind you of matters relating to your account with us).

If you provide us with Payment Data, we will use your Identity and Contact Data, Payment Data and the related Transaction Data, to process your transaction and receive the relevant payment.  Our basis: Contract and Legitimate Interest (to receive payment of sums owed to us).

From time to time, you may provide us with feedback or otherwise engage with us in ways that, in combination with other data we hold, may be included in your Profile Data.  In using WiSoft Professional Services, we and our service providers will also collect Technical Data. We use Profile Data and Technical Data to analyse your use of WiSoft Professional Services and combine it with similar data for other users like you, with the object of making WiSoft Professional Services better and more relevant to you, to enable us to create content that is more suited to you and to send you more relevant communications.  Our basis: Legitimate Interest (making our services and their marketing more specific to you).

We will only use your personal data for the above purposes, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.  If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. We may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

Whom will we share your personal data with ?

We will share your personal data with various third parties, but always for the uses referred to above. These third parties are businesses (and in some cases charities) of the following types:

• payment services providers

• mailing and delivery services

• website hosting providers

• messaging services providers

• social media platforms

• [identity verification services]

We may also share your personal data with others where to do so is mandated by applicable law.

Your Marketing and Communications Data will only be shared with a third party for the purpose of them directly marketing to you where you have consented to that marketing.

If we transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to a country that does not provide a similar level of legal protection to that provided by the European’s data protection laws, we put in place legally appropriate safeguards to require the protection of your personal data.  You can request details of those safeguards by contacting our Information Officer.

If we sell our business or assets, your personal data may be provided to the prospective purchaser’s advisers with appropriate legal protections and will be passed to the new owners of the business.

How long will be keep your personal data for ?

We keep your personal data for as long as is necessary:

• for Our basis as specified in this Privacy Policy, and

• to address relevant legal, tax or accounting requirements, including potential claims by and against us.

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

You can request more details of how we apply these criteria by contacting our Information Officer

When the need to keep your personal data ends, we either delete or anonymise it.

How do we keep your personal data secure ?

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. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Your legal rights

Under the law, you have the right 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 your 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 your personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. 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, at the time of 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. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

• 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: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; or (c) 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.

• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

• Withdraw consent to the processing of your personal data, or to profiling by means of your personal data, where consent is the basis for that processing. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact our Information Officer by email to the address specified below.  You will not have to pay a fee to exercise any of your legal rights as specified above. 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 may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the relevant your personal data (or to exercise any of your other legal rights). This is a security measure we take to help avoid your personal data being disclosed to a 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 help speed up our response.

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.
