Your privacy is important to us and we are committed to protecting it. The primary purpose of the Proximitum website is to be a resource to help visitors learn more about our organisation. We take care to protect the privacy of customers and users of the site and, if we do ask to provide certain information, then you can be assured that it will only be in use in accordance with this privacy notice. The notice applies to all visitors to this website.
Proximitum is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDRP) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018). This Privacy Notice sets out your rights, and the basis by which we collect, use and disclose the personal data on you. Proximitum will always aim to be transparent about how we process personal data.
You are entitled to know whether we hold personal data about you and, if we do, to have access to that personal data and request that it be corrected if it is inaccurate. You can also choose to manage the marketing communications you receive by using opt-out mechanisms in emails we send to you. In such cases, we will retain the minimum personal data necessary to record that you opted out, in order to avoid contacting you again.
If you have submitted personal information through this website and wish us to cease using it for the purposes submitted, please contact enquires@proximitum.co.uk.
This notice sets out how we collect and process information about visitors to www.Proximitum.com.
We collect information on this website and through 3rd party platforms in two ways:
The information we might collect and process about you includes:
When this information relates to or identifies you, it is treated as 'personal data'.
Call recording: To help improve efficiency and effectiveness of some of the services provided to you by phone we may keep a record of calls that you make to us.
We may collect information about you from third parties that we work with for the purposes of delivering to you the services that you request from us. For example, we may engage third parties for online event registration and further information requests systems; these entities will collect information directly from you on our behalf.
We may use your personal information in the following ways:
We collect and use your personal information for the legitimate business purposes of communicating with you to deal with your enquiries, fulfilling your requests for services and information, sending you communications which you have requested, notifying you of changes to our services, processing payment from where you where applicable and monitoring behaviour on our website to improve your browsing experience, help us to improve our website and make our marketing campaigns more relevant.
We may also use your personal information where you give us your express consent, for example when you provide consent to receive marketing materials.
You have the right to object to Proximitum processing your personal information and if you wish to object, please contact us at enquires@proximitum.co.uk.
In connection with any application, request or enquiry you make, your information will be passed directly to the relevant business unit with Proximitum and nowhere else.
By submitting your personal information through this website, you are consenting to it being processed in the manner described above.
We will not share your personal information with any third party, outside of Proximitum, that intends to use it for direct marketing purposes, unless we have specifically informed you and you have given us specific permission to do so.
We may use third parties, like service providers, agents or contractors to provide support and administration assistance for the internal operations of our websites, event registration systems, applications and online advertisements.
These third parties may come into contact with you about your personal information in the course of providing their services to us. They must provide equivalent levels of security for your personal information as Proximitum and, where required, are bound by a legal agreement to keep your personal information private, secure and to process it only on the specific instructions of Proximitum.
We may from time to time store certain personal information linked to your browsing experience in the US using the EU/US Privacy Shield with our third party supplier. However, most of our systems that would store your information are based in the UK or the European Economic Area. If we need to transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area, we will ensure that such transfers are compliant with the GDPR and the DPA 2018. Appropriate measures will be put in place to keep your personal data secure.
Proximitum has a Data Retention Policy which mandates how long records, including personal data, must be retained. Retention periods are determined by legislation and business requirements. In most cases we will hold your data for up to 3 years after last contract, unless we have a legitimate business need or regulatory obligation which requires that we hold this data for a superseding period of time.
All information will be kept securely on our systems. All personal data will be held in accordance with the Proximitum Data Retention policy.
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
We use Google Analytics to collect information about your visitor behaviour on our website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on.
This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.
We have also implemented Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. This is used to gain an insight into the age, gender and interests of our users to help us make decisions on how to improve the website for future. Users can opt out of this reporting by visiting Google Ads Settings.
You can find out more about Google's position on privacy as regards its analytics service at Google support.
Visitors may choose to opt-out of Google Analytics tracking with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You may also disable tracking cookies by clicking the privacy settings link in the bottom right of any website page.
Our website may also contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide while visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy notice. You should always look at the privacy notice applicable to the website in question.
If you have any concerns or complaints regarding the processing of your personal data, or our compliance with the GDPR and DPA 2018, you should contact Proximitum's Data Protection Officer at enquries@proximitum.co.uk.
