POLYCOTE UK

Information provided under the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation
("UK GDPR")

Polycote UK is conducting a campaign of direct marketing within the meaning of
the Data Protection Act 2018, s.122(5), in which you are a recipient.

Polycote UK has asked Merrehill Ltd ("the Supplier") to conduct this campaign to
businesses in the UK, using a mailing list that the Supplier maintains. If your
personal data are held by the Supplier, they will only pass on information you
provide in a reply or form, when you want to engage Polycote UK, such as to
request a quote.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


UNDER WHAT LAW ARE YOU ALLOWED TO SEND ME EMAILS?

The protection of personal data and the delivery of marketing by email are
governed in the United Kingdom by separate but related laws. In addition to data
protection legislation such as the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, The
Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, also
known as "PECR", is the principal law that covers direct marketing by email.


WHAT IS A “CORPORATE SUBSCRIBER”?

In terms of the PECR, the subscriber is the individual or legal entity that is
party to a contract with a provider of public electronic communications
services. It specifically defines a corporate subscriber as, essentially, an
incorporated company. This is different to the usual meaning of “subscriber”
when discussing mailing lists. ICO guidance clarifies that this includes public
bodies and Scottish partnerships, but not sole traders or members of an ordinary
partnership, as they are not incorporated. In terms of email, the subscriber is
held to be the individual or organisation for whom the email service is
operated. Any of a corporate subscriber's email addresses would be a corporate
email address. If a corporate email address contains a person's name or
distinctive job title, it is known as a personal corporate email address. This
is not the same as a strictly personal email address pertaining only to a
private individual.


WHY HAVE YOU NOT ASKED FOR MY CONSENT?

Your email address has been identified as pertaining to a “corporate subscriber”
within the meaning of PECR Regulation 2. Regulation 22 prohibits the delivery of
unsolicited marketing messages by email to “individual subscribers”, with
certain exemptions such as for existing customers. However this does not apply
to corporate subscribers. The UK's data protection supervisory authority, the
Information Commissioner's Office or ICO, has published guidance clarifying that
consent is not required to email business email addresses. Data protection laws
still apply to any personal data being stored or used in relation to that
address, such as if your email address contains your name, or a job title
through which you could be easily identified. Such personal data is lawfully
processed under Art. 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR, about which more information is
provided below.




WHERE DID YOU GET MY EMAIL ADDRESS?

Polycote UK does not hold the mailing list used to deliver the email to you. The
Supplier has partnerships with data providers and can provide detailed
information about the source of your contact record upon request. You can find
contact details for such a request further down the page.


HOW DO I STOP GETTING EMAILS FROM POLYCOTE UK?

All emails the Supplier sends as part of Polycote UK's direct marketing campaign
include an unsubscribe link to a page where you can check the email address and
request that it be unsubscribed from further such emails.

We have reproduced the form below, which you can submit to unsubscribe from
further emails from Polycote UK:
