We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations (for example, directives issued by the Health and Safety Executive). We will hold employees, customers and suppliers information on our systems for as long as is set out in any relevant contract held with us.

Who has access to the information we hold?

We will not sell or rent information to third parties.

We will not share information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf:

We may pass personal information to our third party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services on our behalf (for example to conduct Asbestos Abatement investigation & analysis). However, when we use third-party service providers, we disclose only the business information that is necessary to deliver the required service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep any information provided secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release personal information to third parties unless we are required to do so by our contract or by law, for example, a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, as may be required by a client or official body if working within a school or other security-sensitive location.

Third Party Product Providers we work in association with:

We work closely with various third-party product and service providers for the purposes of a project’s requirements (I,e Asbestos Abatement Services, Scaffold Builders etc); the relevant third-party service provider will use your project and business details to provide you with information and carry out their obligations arising from any contracts you or we have entered into with them. In some cases, they will be acting as a data controller of your information and therefore we advise you to read their Privacy Policy. These third-party service providers will share your information with us which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may transfer information to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, or if we’re under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use or to protect the rights, property or safety of our customers. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that individuals privacy rights continue to be protected.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any sensitive information (such as bank payment details) is held electronically in password protected files on a secure server and hard copies are held in locked filing cabinets.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access the Umberslade employee App to access your weekly pay and other information , you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Profiling

We may use your business or personal information to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk.
