Our lawful grounds of processing

In line with General Data Protection Regulations, we will only process your personal data if we have a lawful ground for doing so.

The basis of processing to supply you with business services is so that we can fulfil our obligations under our contract with you (or to take steps at your request to enter into a contract with you).

We may collect data about you when you provide the data directly to us (eg. by completing a form on the website or sending us emails).

We may source data from publicly available resources like Companies House.

Marketing communications

We want to make sure that our sales and marketing practices are helpful for our prospects and clients, as well as being lawful practice. We may process your personal data to send you marketing communications because we have your express consent and/or because of our legitimate interests (namely to support cause-driven companies grow their impact and to develop our own business).

In line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we will only send you text or email marketing communication if you have either made a purchase, asked for information about our products and services, or you have agreed to receive marketing communications and in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing. Under these regulations, if you are trading as a company, we may send you marketing emails without your prior consent. You can still opt out of marketing communications at any time.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by emailing us at privacy@fairhead.net. We also have unsubscribe buttons at the end of all of our emails.

Where you opt out of receiving our marketing communications, this opt out will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of other transactions, for example a product/service purchase.

Who we share your information with

We may have to share your personal data with:

In the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership or the transfer of all or part of our assets to a third party, we may need to transfer your information to a third party. Any transfer will be subject to the agreement of the third party to this Privacy Notice and any processing being only in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

We do share your information with specific third-party service providers who fulfil specific functions such as processing payments and managing address information. When we work with a third-party partner, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.

We will not disclose any of your personal information to a third party without your consent, unless we believe in good faith that the law requires it or that our rights or property need to be protected.

How we manage and store your data

We have put in place 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 such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place 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.

In some circumstances, the data that we control may be transferred to, and stored at a destination outside of, the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For example, we use a number of suppliers for the purpose of supporting our business processes that are based in a different jurisdiction. We take appropriate steps to ensure that your information is treated securely in accordance with applicable laws.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

If none of the above safeguards are available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

Please email us at privacy@fairhead.net if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

How long we store your information for

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

When deciding on the correct time to keep personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

By law we have to keep basic information about our clients (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they stop being clients for tax purposes.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to request access, correction, erasure, transfer, to object to processing of your personal data, to portability of data and to withdraw consent.

You can see more about these on the ICO website.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at privacy@fairhead.net

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). 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 your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any 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 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.
