Data Privacy Policy

Cyber Essentials Inform Holdings Ltd treats the protection of personal data very seriously and we take appropriate measures to safeguard privacy. Our Data Privacy Policy explains how we manage and protect personal data, including how we collect and process it.

Obtaining Personal Data

Information provided by you

You may provide us with personal data during our contract process, over the phone or electronically via our website or by email. We also keep information provided by you in correspondence you have with us by post. This includes your name and address, job title, email address, website information, telephone numbers. We use this information to process your order for software services, or as part of providing one of our other services.

Information from other sources

Third party information is only obtained where it is permitted in law. In these instances, personal information will have been submitted to the third party and consent given to allow them to pass this information to other companies.

How We Use Personal Data

We will use your personal data to carry out a service or as part of providing software services to you. We undertake at all times to protect your personal data, including any financial details we hold, in line with the requirements of data protection legislation. We will also take reasonable steps to protect your personal data in storage. Your data will only be used for marketing purposes where we have asked your permission specifically.

We do not share any personal data with third party companies and we do not currently transfer any personal data outside the UK.

These take into account our requirement to meet any legal, statutory or regulatory obligations. These periods are reassessed on a regular basis.
