Privacy Policy

PRIVACY NOTICE

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 25 May 2018 and seeks to protect and enhance the rights of data subjects.  Annurca Risk Ltd (ARL) is compliant with GDPR and is committed to protecting and keeping confidential all the information you provide to us.

This privacy notice sets out how ARL collects and uses any information that you give to us.  It confirms who we are, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us and supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.

WHO ARE WE?

ARL is a limited company incorporated on 18 May 2016, registered at Companies House with Company Number 10185520 and with a registered office at  Dukeries Business Centre, 31-33 Retford Road, Worksop, Notts S80 2PU.

IN WHAT CAPACITY WILL ARL HOLD PERSONAL INFORMATION?

The main reason we will use personal information is to enable us to provide a service in accordance with instructions that we receive from ARL clients.  We will also use your personal information where it is necessary for our legitimate interests or where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.  The information will be held in hard copy and/electronic format.

When we process personal data on our clients’ behalf, we are acting as a processor.

We use a private and secure electronic system to assist us in processing and protecting your information and keeping it secure from risks of cyber crime and fraud.  All external service providers that we use are subject to confidentiality agreements with ARL.  We confirm that all personal information provided to us is kept in the UK and we will not transfer personal data to another country outside the UK unless we are specifically instructed to do so.

HOW IS PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED?

Typically the personal information that we come into possession of arrives to us in one of two ways:-

  1. Information provided to us by our clients that we are asked to process; or
  2. Information that we collect that our clients instruct us to collect.

WHO DO WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH?

We share personal information with the client that requested it, third parties we may need to contact to collect or validate personal information, and service providers we use to provide services and look after our infrastructure.

External bodies or regulators may sometimes have the need to audit our client files.   This is strictly on a confidential basis by way of an audit in order to ensure that we are meeting our regulatory, legal, quality and financial management standards.   We may also need to share information with our professional indemnity insurers and insurance brokers.

We do not sell or disclose your personal information to governments, marketing or advertising services, other clients, or anyone else except as outlined in this statement or required by law.

WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS RELATING TO THE USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Under the GDPR subjects have certain rights in respect of the processing of personal information, which may vary dependant on the legal basis for collection of that personal information and how that information is used.  Further information about these rights can be found on the Information Commissioners website www.ico.org.uk/for-the-public/

If you would like to exercise any of these rights please contact our Operations Director Gareth Kite by email at gareth.kite@arl-ps.co.uk or by post at Dukeries Business Centre, 31-33 Retford Road, Worksop, Notts, England, S80 2PU.

HOW LONG WILL PERSONAL DATA BE KEPT?

We will hold your personal data for an appropriate period of time, depending on the nature of the matter to which it relates and the contractual relationship that we have with clients.  After that period of time any records held in any form will be destroyed confidentially without further reference to you.  To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the personal information and the transaction concerned, and (when processing data) any periods of time identified in any contracts in place with the controller of the data.

SECURITY

We have put in place measures to protect the security of your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way.  Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and as subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach.  We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

We will use our best efforts to ensure that no unauthorised parties have access to any of your personal information.
