We will let you know at the point of collecting your information whether this is optional, or whether it is necessary for you to provide this information to meet certain statutory or contractual requirements. If the latter and you do not wish to provide us with this information, this may limit the services we are able to provide you. If, as determined by us, the lawful basis upon which we process your personal information changes, we will notify you about the change and any new lawful basis to be used if required. We shall stop processing your personal information if the lawful basis used is no longer relevant.

Who we share your personal data with

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third parties. However, to provide the Scanprobe Services to you we may need to share your information with the following third parties:

  • Our suppliers and subcontractors, where necessary to provide the Scanprobe Services, or to maintain our operations to enable us to provide the Scanprobe Services, including our providers of IT, payment, and electronic marketing services.
  • Any potential or actual third-party buyer of our business and/or assets if we sell, trade, or licence ownership of any part of our business or assets.
  • Third parties we may be required to disclose such personal data to comply with our legal obligations or enforce our legal rights, e.g. any relevant authority, law enforcement body, or fraud protection and credit risk reduction agencies.

Some of these third parties may be based outside of the European Economic Area. We ensure that where such international transfers are needed, these will be made subject to appropriate safeguards as required by data protection laws to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to your personal data. Such measures include the use of EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep your personal data

We keep your data for as long as it’s necessary to meet the relevant purposes for which we’ve collected your data, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate length of time for holding your data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm, from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purpose for which we process your data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, along with the applicable legal requirements.

We will retain copies of our customer orders, legal contracts, agreements, data access requests, complaints, and any disputes, for a minimum of 10 years.

Your individual rights

Under data protection law, you have rights including:

  • Your right of access. You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.
  • Your right to rectification. You have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.

Please Contact Us if you wish to make a subject access request. We will respond to you within one calendar month following your request. In most cases, you will not be required to pay any charge for exercising your rights under UK GDPR, though we reserve the right to charge you a reasonable administrative fee for repetitive requests, manifestly unfounded requests, or to excessive requests. Where we decide to charge a fee for the request, we are not obliged to complete the request until the fee is paid.

We may refuse your request based on the exemptions set out in the applicable data protection laws. If we refuse your request, we will give you the reasons for our refusal and we will allow you to challenge our decision. We may also need to confirm your identity, or whether you have permission to receive the requested information (for example, where you are requesting the information on someone else’s behalf).

Marketing emails

Under UK GDPR, we use the consent lawful basis for anyone subscribing to our newsletter or marketing mailing list.

Such data, within its limitations, will show the activity each subscriber made for that email campaign.

Any email marketing messages we send are in accordance with UK GDPR and the PECR, and each message will provide you with instructions on how to withdraw your consent (unsubscribe) or manage your marketing communication preferences at any time.
