PRIVACY NOTICE - GENERAL USERS AND CLIENTS


INTRODUCTION

The British Standards Institution (ICO registration Z7888292) (“BSI”) takes your
privacy very seriously. This Privacy Notice is intended to set out your rights
and answer any queries you may have about your personal data. If you need more
information, please contact: PrivacyTeam@bsigroup.com

If you have entered into a contract with one of our subsidiaries or group
companies, the controller of your data will be the BSI company or companies
stated in your contract (BSI Standards Limited (ICO registration ZA342039), BSI
Assurance UK Limited (ICO registration ZA341951) and/or BSI Digital Trust (UK)
Limited (ICO registration Z1767162)) and/or the BSI company to which you provide

will be The British Standards Institution.

Our personal data handling policy and procedures have been developed in line
with the data protection laws that apply to us in the countries in which we
offer our good and services, in particular the EU General Data Protection
Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (the “EU GDPR”) and the UK General Data Protection
Regulation which reflects the retained and amended provisions of the EU GDPR
that are incorporated into UK law under the UK European Union (Withdrawal) Act
2018 as amended (the “UK GDPR”), as these laws establish the most expansive data
protection obligations.

• any other personal data you provide.


2. HOW DO WE USE THIS PERSONAL DATA AND WHAT IS THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THIS USE?

We process the personal data listed in paragraph 1 above for the following
purposes:

• to establish and fulfill a contract with you, for example, if you make a
purchase from us or enter into an agreement to provide or receive services. This
may include verifying your identity, taking payments, communicating with you,
providing customer services and arranging the delivery or other provision of
products or services. We require this information in order to enter into a
contract with you and are unable to do so without it;
• to comply with applicable law and regulation;
• in accordance with our legitimate interests in protecting BSI's legitimate
business interests, role as the National Standards Body, and legal rights,
including but not limited to, use in connection with legal claims, compliance,
regulatory and investigative purposes (including disclosure of such information
in connection with legal process or litigation);
• with your express consent to respond to any comments or complaints we may
receive from you, or to investigate any complaints received from you or from
others, about our website or our products or services;

with our legitimate interests;
• to monitor use of our websites and online services. We may use your
information to help us check, improve and protect our products, content,
services and websites, both online and offline, in accordance with our
legitimate interests;
• if you provide a credit or debit card, we may also use third parties (such as
POS payment providers) to check the validity of the sort code, account number
and card number you submit in order to prevent fraud, in accordance with our
legitimate interests and those of third parties;
• we may monitor any customer account to prevent, investigate and/or report
fraud, terrorism, misrepresentation, security incidents or crime, in accordance
with applicable law and our legitimate interests;
• in circumstances where you contact us by telephone, calls may be recorded for
quality, training and security purposes, in accordance with our legitimate
interests; and
• we may use your information to invite you to take part in market research or
surveys.

We may also send you direct marketing in relation to BSI’s relevant products and
services. Electronic direct marketing will only be sent where you have given
your consent to receive it, or (where this is allowed) you have been given an
opportunity to opt-out. We will not send you direct marketing of third party
products or services although our own products or services may on occasion
include co-operation with third parties. You will continue to be able to opt-out
of electronic direct marketing at any time by following the instructions in the
relevant communication.


3. WITH WHOM AND WHERE WILL WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We may share your personal data with our subsidiaries to process it for the
purposes of inter-group administration and to deliver products or services where
elements of these are provided by BSI group companies other than those with
which you have directly contracted.

We may also share your personal data with the below third parties:

• our professional advisors such as our auditors and external legal and
financial advisors;
• marketing and communications agencies where they have agreed to process your
personal data in line with this Privacy Notice;
• market research companies;
• our suppliers, business partners and sub-contractors; and/or
• search engine and web analytics.

Personal data may be shared with government authorities and/or law enforcement
officials if required for the purposes above, if mandated by law or if needed
for the legal protection of our legitimate interests in compliance with
applicable laws. Personal data may also be shared with third party service
providers who will process it on behalf of BSI for the purposes above. Such
third parties include, but are not limited to, providers of website hosting,
maintenance, call centre operation and identity checking.

In the event that our business or any part of it is sold or integrated with
another business, your details will be disclosed to our advisers and those of
any prospective purchaser and will be passed to the new owners of the business.


4. HOW LONG WILL YOU KEEP MY PERSONAL DATA?

We will not keep your personal data for any purpose longer than necessary to
fulfill the original or a compatible purpose. In some instances, we are required
to retain certain information by law or due to our role as the National
Standards Body, and for as long as reasonably necessary to meet regulatory or
accreditation requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or
enforce our terms and conditions. Where this is the case, your personal data
will only be processed for the relevant legitimate purpose and not used for
marketing.

Where you are a customer, we will keep your personal data for the length of any
contractual relationship you have with us and after that for a period of up to 3
years unless you are a customer purchasing Standards in which event we will keep
your information for up to 5 years in line with the Standards lifecycle.

Where you are a prospective customer and you have expressly consented to us
contacting you, we will only retain your personal data for this purpose (a)
until you unsubscribe from our communications; or, if you have not unsubscribed,
(b) while you interact with us and our content; or (c) for 2 years from when you
last interacted with us or our content.

In the case of any contact you may have with our customer services team, we will
retain your details for as long as is necessary to resolve your query and for
two weeks after the query is closed.

We may retain your personal data for a time beyond the specified retention
period, to allow for information to be reviewed and any deletion to take place.
After it is no longer necessary for us to retain your personal data, we dispose
of it securely according to our Document & Information Retention Policy.


5. WHERE IS MY DATA STORED?

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored
outside, the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also
be processed by staff operating outside the United Kingdom or EEA who work for
us or for one of our suppliers, in which case the third country's data
protection laws will have been approved as adequate by the European Commission,
the UK’s Information Commissioner's Office, or other applicable safeguards will
be in place. Further information may be obtained from our Privacy Team.  


6. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS IN RELATION TO MY PERSONAL DATA?

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing
purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking
certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data, clicking the unsubscribe
button on any communication we have sent to you or by contacting us.

Where you have consented to us using your personal data, you can withdraw that
consent at any time.

If the information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can notify
us and ask us to correct or supplement it.

You also have the right, with some exceptions and qualifications, to ask us to
provide a copy of any personal data we hold about you.

Where you have provided your data to us and it is processed by automated means,
you may be able to request that we provide it to you in a structured, machine
readable format.

If you have a complaint about how we have handled your personal data, you may be
able to ask us to restrict how we use your personal data while your complaint is
resolved. In some circumstances you can ask us to erase your personal data (a)
by withdrawing your consent for us to use it; (b) if it is no longer necessary
for us to use your personal data; (c) if you object to the use of your personal
data and we don't have a good reason to continue to use it; or (d) if we haven't
handled your personal data in accordance with our obligations.

Impartiality is the governing principle of how BSI provides its services.
Impartiality means acting fairly and equitably in its dealings with people and
in all business operations. It means decisions are made free from any
engagements of influences which could affect the objectivity of decision making.

As an accredited certification body, BSI Assurance cannot offer certification to
clients where they have also received consultancy from another part of the BSI
Group for the same management system. Likewise, we do not offer consultancy to
clients when they also seek certification to the same management system.

The British Standards Institution (BSI, a company incorporated by Royal
Charter), performs the National Standards Body (NSB) activity in the UK. BSI,
together with its Group Companies, also offers a broad portfolio of business
solutions other than NSB activity that help businesses worldwide to improve
results through Standards-based best practice (such as certification,
self-assessment tool, software, product testing, information products and
training).
