What personal data we collect and why we collect it
There is a full privacy statement below which you are free to read – however, this section provides a summary of what data we collect and what we do with it in simple and straightforward terms.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to email us on data@mountright.com
Online Data
We use google analytics to collect overall data on the number of visitors to our site and what they do when they are there. So, for example, if 100 people viewed our home page and then 86 of them viewed our services page, we can see that information. We also review how long people stay on our site and broadly, where they come from down to a regional level. We do not store or collect any data on IP addresses or use that data to identify individuals. Although this information may be available through google analytics, it is not used by us or processed in any way.
Customers
We collect the names and addresses of our customers as well as their contact details for the purposes of delivering on our contracted work. We need to be able to deliver the goods purchased, manage the warranty and similarly, we sometimes need to be able to ring and email customers to discuss details and deal with any issues. We communicate with our customers during the delivery of the product on the legal basis of contractual obligation. Once we have completed delivery, we store customers’ data for 7 years after last contact – when it is securely destroyed (shredded). We sometimes send out mailings, both email and occasionally physical to our customers, this is done on the basis of legitimate business interest. It is in our interest to keep in touch with our customers in what is a highly competitive marketplace. We have chosen the least intrusive methods of communication and believe it is in our interest and theirs to remain in contact.
All of our customers can opt out of receiving any communications, other than that mandated by our contractual obligations, by emailing data@mountright.com
Business Prospects
We may source and collect the details of businesses for the purposes of marketing. We send out email newsletters, direct mail and make sales calls. This is done on the basis of legitimate business interest. It is in our interest to communicate with businesses in our market to sell our services and it is in their interests to receive our communications.
They can opt out of receiving any communications emailing data@mountright.com.
Suppliers
In order to deal with our suppliers, it is necessary to process their data, which we do on the basis of contractual obligation and legitimate business interest.
We pass on your data to our approved suppliers, if required, to complete the work our customers have requested, these suppliers include couriers, our accountant and other selected suppliers. This data can include names and main contact details. We also may pass on business email addresses to our marketing suppliers for the purposes of email marketing – any marketing supplier we use has been assessed and complies with the requirements of GDPR 2018. We do not sell your data or pass it on to unrelated third parties.
We keep your data as secure as possible, respecting your right to privacy.
You have the right to be forgotten by us. If you want to be forgotten, please email data@mountright.com.
We will remove all the data we hold other than what is required under our contractual obligations (we must hold some data when the work has been completed for organisations, due to compliance legislation and auditing).
We also need to store some data, in a secure place, to ensure that we remember your request to be forgotten (for example should we need to restore systems from a backup, we need to know, to remember, that you wanted to be forgotten).
As part of handling and processing your data we have a designated Data Controller and this is your first point of call should you have any issues or questions about what we do, or why we do it.
Our Data Controller is: Mountright
