We will take all appropriate steps to ensure compliance with the Legislation and in particular will only process your personal data in accordance with any written agreement with you or a third party on your behalf and/or the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We do not hold any sensitive or special category data when providing services to our customers.

 

Personal information provided by third parties

 

If you give us information on behalf of someone else, you confirm that either;

(1) the other person has a contractual relationship with you and knows that you will be transferring their personal data to us for specific purposes; and/or

(2) s/he has appointed you to act on his/her behalf and has agreed that you can:

  • give consent on his/her behalf to the processing of his/her personal data
  • receive on his/her behalf any data protection notices
  • give consent to the processing of his/her personal data

We will share your personal data for example with sub-contractors to supply services you have ordered from us. We may also disclose your personal data to:

  • other companies within our group; and
  • our suppliers, agents and associates;
  • law enforcement agencies in connection with any investigation to help prevent unlawful activity

How will we use the information about you? We use your personal data so that we can:

  • identify you and manage any accounts you hold with us;
  • let you know about our products or services that may be of interest to you (see ‘Marketing’ section below);

Marketing & Communications

 

We may send you information regarding updates that are specific to your contract with us and general updates including information about Nexus and any useful updates affecting our industry. If you are not a customer and never have been we will only contact you regarding any products and services that we offer if we have a lawful basis to do so.

Generally we process personal data because we have a contractual obligation to do so. Where this is not the case it will usually be because we either have your consent or we have a legitimate interest to do so.

Legitimate Interest: broadly speaking this means that we can process your personal information if we have a genuine and legitimate business reason to do so and we are not harming any of your rights and interests in so doing. Whenever we process data on this basis we will ensure that we always keep your personal data rights in high regard and take account of these rights and regularly review this assessment.
