We will only collect, use and otherwise handle your personal data when we have legal grounds for doing so. The common grounds will be: 

Legitimate Interest

We may process your personal information for our legitimate business interests. You have the right to object to this processing.  When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws.  Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests – we will not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law)

Visitors to the Proxisense website

Analytics

When you visit www.proxisense.com, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out such things as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way that does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

If we do collect personal data through our website, we’ll be upfront about this. We’ll make it clear when we collect personal information and we’ll explain what we intend to do with it. 

Cookies

We use a cookies tool on our website. More information about our Cookie Policy can be found here. 

Links to Third Party Websites

As we want your experience of the Proxisense website and newsletters to be as informative and useful as possible, we provide a number of links to websites operated by third parties.

Please be aware that we do not have any control over third party websites and that such third-party websites may send their own cookies to users, or otherwise collect data or solicit personal information.

We cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such third-party websites and so these are not governed by this privacy notice. We encourage you to review each third-party website’s privacy policy/notice before browsing and interacting with the website in question. 

Retention of your information

We will retain your personal data for as long as we reasonably require in light of the purpose(s) for which we are holding it and all relevant legal, commercial and operational considerations.

Personal data is stored on our servers and will remain within the UK/EEA. 

Disclosure of your information

We will not share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide to us without your consent, except where disclosure is:

·         Necessary to enforce our rights

·         Required or permitted by law

·         Your rights under data protection laws

All individuals have a number of rights under data protection laws. However, they do not apply in all circumstances.

Rights include: 

·         Your right of access: You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.

·         Your right of rectification: You have the right to ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate.

·         Your right to restriction of processing: You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your information in certain circumstances.

·         Your right to object to processing: You have the right to object to processing if we are able to process your information because the process forms part of our public tasks, or is in our legitimate interests.

·         Your right to data portability: This only applies to data you have given us. You have the right to ask that we transfer the information you gave us from one organisation to another, or give it to you.  The right only applies if we are processing information based on your consent or under, or in talks about entering into a contract and the processing is automated.

You can read more about all of these rights here.

At all times, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office which enforces data protection laws: https://ico.org.uk/.

If you wish to exercise any of these, please email info@proxisense.com and we will explain at that time if they are applicable or not. We will inform you in writing following receipt of your written request and if necessary, seek additional information from you about your request, including proof of identity.
