We may receive information about you if you use any of the other websites we operate or the other services we provide.  In this case we will have informed you when we collected that data that it may be shared internally and combined with data collected via the Services. We also work closely with several trusted third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, credit reference agencies) and may receive information about you from them.

We may also cross reference your Personal Data against publicly available data registers for example the FCA register or Companies House.

Where you have so requested, we will also send you marketing communications about our third party partners. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, you can opt out by using the unsubscribe link contained in the e-mails you receive.

4. Legal basis for collecting/processing information

Under most circumstances, we will use your Personal Data as necessary to perform our contract with you. Most of the information that you provide will be collected and processed to enable us to provide you with the Services.

Where a contract is not in place, we may still store, process and use your Personal Data pursuant to the legitimate interests of our business or in accordance with a legal obligation.

Some types of information require your explicit consent. Where this is the case, we will inform you and seek your consent. Where you have given us consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.

5. Who do we share Information with?

We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.  We will also not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes except where explicit consent has been provided.

Where necessary to the provision of the Services, we may share your Personal Data with selected third parties including:

  • Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you and for the purposes of providing part of our services to you.
  • Other companies within the same group of companies as ATEB;
  • Legal advisers, accountants, payment processors and third party software providers.
  • Analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of the Services.

6. How do we secure your information?

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the Personal Data that we collect and process. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your Personal Data.

All information you provide to us is transmitted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) and stored on secure servers. Where you have chosen a password which enables you to access the Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share any password with anyone. Sharing any passwords will constitute a breach of these terms.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will endeavour to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Services. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

7. How long will we keep your information?

We retain Personal Data for as long as we provide the Services to you or your account remains open. However, we may keep some data after your account is closed or you cease using the Services (see below).

After you have closed your account we may retain Personal Data where reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, resolve disputes, enforce our Terms and Conditions, offer new features you may be interested in, or fulfil your request to ‘unsubscribe’ from further messages from us.

8. Your privacy rights

You have the right to see what Personal Data we hold about you and you can ask us to correct inaccuracies, delete or restrict Personal Data or ask for some of your Personal Data to be provided to someone else. You have the right to object to how we use your Personal Data.

If you need to contact us in relation to any of your rights please contact us using our details below.

  • Right to withdraw consent: Where you have given us your consent to use Personal Data, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Access to your Personal Data: You can request access to a copy of your Personal Data.  We will not normally charge for providing this information to you although we reserve the right to do so in some circumstances.
  • Portability: You can ask us to provide you or a third party with some of the Personal Data that we hold about you in a commonly used electronic form.
  • Rectification: You can ask us to change or complete any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data held about you.
  • Erasure: You can ask us to delete your Personal Data where it is no longer necessary for us to use it, you have withdrawn consent, or where we have no lawful basis for keeping it. Note that we might be required by regulations, or for legal or insurance purposes, to retain your information even if you want it to be deleted.

9. Transfers outside of the EU

Our Services are hosted in the United Kingdom.

We may also use outsourced services in countries outside the European Union from time to time in other aspects of our business.  Accordingly, data obtained within the UK or any other country could be processed outside the European Union.  By submitting your Personal Data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing outside of the European Union.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In particular, this means that your Personal Data will only be transferred to a country or organisation that provides an adequate level of protection. For example, where the European Commission has determined that a country provides an adequate level of protection, or where the recipient is bound by standard contractual clauses according to conditions provided by the European Commission (“EU Model Clauses”), or where the organisation has other appropriate safeguards in place such as the EU-US Privacy Shield or Binding Corporate Rules.

Our Services are accessible via the internet and may potentially be accessed by anyone around the world. Other users may access the Services from outside the European Union. This means that where you chose to post your information in our Services, it could be accessed from anywhere around the world and therefore a transfer of your data outside of the European Union may be deemed to have occurred. You consent to such transfer of your information for and by way of this purpose.
