WHAT INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT ABOUT YOU

When you access, sign up for or use any of the Essential Logic Ltd services, materials or online content, such as newsletters, downloadable documents or contact forms we may receive personal information about you. We only collect information that we know we will genuinely use. This can consist of information such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone or mobile number, company or industry sector depending on the activity.

We do not process any special category data listed under GDPR legislation

HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Essential Logic Ltd will use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:

  • the information is required in order to carry out the activities that form part of the operation of our business (e.g. the processing is necessary to perform our contractual obligations towards you).
  • to comply with the legal and regulatory obligations that we are subject to, such as keeping records for tax purposes or providing information to a public body or law enforcement agency.
  • to provide you with our services and goods and to deal with your requests and enquiries;
  • to provide you with information about our services, goods or other content;
  • to analyse and improve the services offered on Essential Logic Ltd website;

Where we propose using your personal information for any other uses we will ensure that we notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your consent for the use of your personal information for purposes other than those listed above.

We may store your personal data on a number of third party services including Highrise CRM, Quickbooks Online and Active Collab project management

WHEN WE MAY USE YOUR DETAILS TO CONTACT YOU

Essential Logic Ltd may contact you:

  • in relation to any service, material or other content you have contracted Essential Logic Ltd to supply you or enquired about in order to ensure that we can deliver those to you.
  • in relation to any correspondence we receive from you or any comment or complaint you make about our products or services
  • for marketing purposes, or to promote new services, materials or online content where you have agreed to this.


WILL WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH ANYONE ELSE

We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies) or as described in this section.

In general, we will only use your information within Essential Logic Ltd and only share it outside Essential Logic Ltd where you have requested or given your consent or where it is necessary in order to deliver our goods and services.

Essential Logic uses third parties to provide some of the services we supply to our clients including website hosting. All data centres used by Essential Logic Ltd are physically located within the EU.

Sometimes Essential Logic Ltd also uses third parties to provide additional services to our clients. Those can include digital marketing organisations, specialist coding resources, design agencies and SEO experts.  We require these third parties to comply strictly with our instructions and require that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes unless you have explicitly consented to the use of your personal information in this way.

DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA FOR

To make sure we meet our legal data protection and privacy obligations, we will only keep your personal information on our system for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set in any relevant contract you hold with Essential Logic Ltd. After that we will either delete it or anonymise it so it cannot be linked back to you.
