  1. THE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to do so.  Although in limited circumstances we may use your information because you have specifically consented to it, we generally rely on the following legal bases to use your information:

  • For employment-related purposes
  • Where we need information to perform the contract we have entered into with you
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation
  • Where the processing is necessary for us to carry out activities for which it is in our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) to do so and provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

  1. HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS SHARED

As well as any sharing listed above, we may also share your information with third parties, including third-party service providers (for example, those providing legal advice, IT services or payment processing).  Third parties are required to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law.  We never sell your data to third parties.

We may share your personal information with third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation.

All our third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information.  Where third parties process your personal information on our behalf as ‘data processors’ they must do so only on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.

We may also need to share your personal information with a regulator or to otherwise comply with the law.

  1. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The period for which we will keep your personal information will depend on the purposes for which we are using your information.  The retention period may be longer than the period for which we are providing services to you where we have statutory or regulatory obligations to retain personal information for a longer period, or where we may need to retain the information in case of a legal claim.

  1. HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE

Maintaining the security of information is very important and we have measures in place which are designed to prevent unauthorised access to your personal information, we have set out some of these below.

All data is hosted on our own secure servers or those of our third-party providers of specific services.  We have systems and protections in place to protect against unauthorised access and other external factors that could cause damage to your personal data.  There are strict access requirements in place and access is restricted to those personnel on a need to know basis.  Training is provided to our employees and workers who need access to personal information.

Hard copy documentation is stored in locked cabinets.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have a number of rights in relation to your personal information.  The key rights are set out below:

Be informed about how we use your personal information

Obtain access to your personal information that we hold

Request that your personal information is corrected if you believe it is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate

Request that we erase your personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it (for instance, we may need to continue using your personal data to comply with our legal obligations).

Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to us using your information on this basis and we do not have a compelling legitimate basis for doing so which overrides your rights, interests and freedoms (for instance, we may need it to defend a legal claim).

Request the restriction of processing of your personal information.  This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

In the event that you notify us that you withdraw consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose (if we are relying on your consent rather than one of the other bases set out in section 3).  We will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) you originally agreed to once we have received your notification unless we have another legitimate interest in doing so.

If you think that we are using your information in a way which breaches data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office ‘ICO’ (see section 8).

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal information, withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact us at reception@galleriesbristol.co.uk.
