OUR PRIVACY POLICY.

This Privacy Notice explains in detail the types of personal data we
may collect about various individuals when they interact with us.
It also explains how we’ll store and handle that data, and keep it safe.

See Also: Our Cookie Policy

You are here: Home | Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION

We know that there’s a lot of information here but we want individuals to be
fully informed about their rights, and how The Clean Space uses personal data.

Our overriding principle is that we will only use personal data in a way that an
individual would reasonably expect. For example, client email addresses only to
communicate out the service we provide or staff ID documents to prove right to
work in the UK.

We hope the following sections will answer any questions you have but if not,
please do get in touch with us.

It’s likely that we’ll need to update this Privacy Notice from time to time.
We’ll notify you of any significant changes, but you’re welcome to come back and
check it whenever you wish. It will always be on our website.

THE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

The GDPR regulations set out a number of different reasons for which a company
may collect and process personal data, including:

Consent

In specific situations, we can collect and process personal data with the
individual’s consent.

For example, when a potential client ticks a box to receive email newsletters or
when a staff member ticks a box to confirm they are happy to share details of
their DBS checks with clients.

Contractual obligations

In certain circumstances, we need personal data to comply with our contractual
obligations.

For example, if a client requires a monthly audit emailed to them we will need
to collect their email address. If a member of staff joins our team we will need
to collect their bank details to pay them.

Legal compliance

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process personal data.

For example, we must collect and maintain copies of passports and/or visas to
meet the Home Office requirements for proof to work in the UK.

Legitimate interest

In specific situations, we require personal data to serve the legitimate
interests of an individual or The Clean Space. This will always be in a way
which would reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which
does not materially impact that individual’s rights, freedom or interests.

For example, we will maintain email addresses of people who have asked for a
quotation from us in the past and continue to use that data to stay in touch for
when our services are needed. That will always be through personal contact (not
mass emails) unless you consent to joining our mailing list.

We will also use contact details to deliver marketing information by post, email
or phone telling you about products and services that we think might interest
you.

HOW DO WE PROTECT PERSONAL DATA?

We take data security very seriously. With this in mind we will treat your data
with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it. The includes:

 * Holding all electronic files on password protected secure email and file
   servers and on locked personal IT devices with planned and controlled access
   rights
 * Only working with reputable SaaS providers with appropriate security measures
   in place
 * Designing a file storage structure that ensures appropriate documents are
   only accessed by members of our team that need access
 * Establishing a strong password policy with regular forced change of passwords
 * Holding paper documents in locked filing cabinets on site
 * Maintaining a GDPR risk register that assesses risk of data breaches and
   drives mitigating action

HOW LONG DO WE HOLD PERSONAL DATA?

Data for all individuals (regardless of category) will be held for 7 years after
our last contact with them.

We have taken this decision to enable a consistent ‘7 years’ rule to apply to
all personal data we hold across all categories. A consistent rule will ensure
greater compliance and will not compromise the individual’s interests, rights &
freedoms.

WHO DO WE SHARE PERSONAL DATA WITH?

We sometimes share your personal data with trusted third parties. For example,
with our 3rd party IT company or with our lawyers or accountants.

Here’s the policy we apply to those organisations to keep your data safe and
protect your privacy:

 * We provide only the information they need to perform their specific services.
 * They may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract
   with them.
 * We work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and
   protected at all times.
 * If we stop using their services, any of your data held by them will either be
   deleted or rendered anonymous.

Examples of the kind of third parties we work with are:

 * IT companies who support our website and other business systems
 * SaaS companies who provide operational systems we use to run our business
 * Sub-contractors who deliver elements of our service
 * Professional advisors, consultants and our banks
 * Government agencies such as HMRC, the Home Office and law
   enforcement/regulators bodies
 * 3rd party DBS checking companies
 * Recruitment companies and consultants
 * Web marketing companies such as Google and Lead Forensics

We will never share your data with third parties for their own purposes (e.g.
other companies who want to sell to you).

WHERE PERSONAL DATA MAY BE PROCESSED

Sometimes we will need to share your personal data with third parties and
suppliers outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

If a 3rd party supplier of ours is based outside the UK (e.g. Google) then
personal data may be collected and transferred outside the EEA.

If we do this, we have procedures in place to ensure your data receives the same
protection as if it were being processed inside the EEA. For example, our
contracts with third parties stipulate the standards they must follow at all
times. If you wish for more information about these contracts please contact us.

Any transfer of your personal data will follow applicable laws and we will treat
the information under the guiding principles of this Privacy Notice.

WHAT RIGHTS DO INDIVIDUALS HAVE OVER THEIR PERSONAL DATA?

Outlined below is an overview of individuals’ rights under GDPR. Individuals
have the right to request:

 * Access to the personal data we hold about you, free of charge in most cases
 * The correction of your personal data when incorrect, out of date or
   incomplete
 * The deletion of your data where applicable
 * That we stop processing your personal data
 * To object to the processing of your data for legitimate reasons or direct
   marketing

To exercise your rights above please contact The Data Protection Lead, The Clean
Space, 5 Chancery Lane, London EC4A 1BL or email info@thecleanspace.com.

If we choose not to action your request we will explain to you the reasons for
our refusal.

Your right to withdraw consent
