How we process collected data

We will process the data we hold on your organisation in order to deliver and complete the services and the contract between our organisations and to administer your account with us. We will contact you with updates to the status of your contract and these services and provide details of additional services that would be of benefit to the business services you have already used with us. Your data will only be processed when there is a lawful reason to do so. We have determined that our main lawful reasons will be:

  • in order to meet the obligations of the contract that exists between us

  • where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation

  • to process financial transactions

  • for our own legitimate interests.

 

The data provided will be held on one or more of our systems whether on premise or off premise.

 

Who has access to your data

Only staff who have a legitimate need to access data will be authorised to do so.

Data will be held and processed to enable C&M Transport to provide the services and products that we are contracted to carry out. We also work with a number of trusted suppliers, agencies and businesses who support us in providing our services.

 

We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. Additional data processors include: Accountant, Microsoft, Mailchimp.

 

The data used for support will be stored whilst the contract is in place and for a maximum of twelve months after the contract ends. Accountancy data will be held for the statutory period as required by the UK Government.

 

Your Legal Rights

Under GDPR regulations, you have a number of rights, if you deem, and it is proven, the data we hold is incorrect.

  1. The right to be informed – to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data.

  2. The right of access – to request access to your personal information

  3. The right to rectification – to request that information is corrected if the information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete

  4. The right to erasure – to have personal information erased

  5. The right to restrict processing – restrict processing of your information

  6. The right to data portability – you can obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purpose

  7. The right to object – to reject our processing of your personal data

  8. Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling – we will not make any decision regarding you by purely automated means

 

If you are unhappy about any aspect of how we handle your data, or the application of your rights, then please contact us in the first instance at the email address in section 1 of this document. 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.

 

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority, which is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The ICO contact details can be found at www.ico.org.uk

 

You can see more about these rights at https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/

 

Data Security 

We have put in place appropriate 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 suppliers, agencies and businesses we work with. 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 do so.

 

Data Retention 

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.

 

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.  This data will therefore be retained for seven years to allow us to respond to a ‘last minute’ request.
