complied with by the recipient.

our advertisers, but we may, on occasion, provide them with Aggregated Data about
our Website visitors and customers.
If you do not want us to share your data with third parties you will have the
opportunity to withhold your consent to this when you provide your details to us on
the form on which we collect your data, or you can do so by writing to us at the
address detailed above or sending us an email to info@elgoncleaning.com at any time.
Controlling the use of your data

revoke or vary that consent at any time.
If you do not want us to use your data or want to vary the consent that you have
provided you can write to us at the address detailed in clause 2 or email us at [EMAIL
ADDRESS] at any time.
Data storage and the transfer your data
As part of the services offered to you, for example through our Website, the
information you provide to us may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of
the European Economic Area (EEA) as we use remote website server hosts to
provide the website and some aspects of our service, which may be based outside of
the EEA, or use servers based outside of the EEA – this is generally the nature of
data stored in “the Cloud”. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the
EEA who work for one of our suppliers, e.g. our website server host, payment
processing provider, or work for us when temporarily outside of the EEA.
A transfer of your personal data may happen if any of our servers are located in a
country outside of the EEA or one of our service providers is located in a country
outside of the EEA.
If you use our service while you are outside the EEA, your personal data may be
transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with these services.
If we transfer or store your personal data outside the EEA in this way, we will take
steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected, as
outlined in this privacy policy. Where we use suppliers based in the US, we may
transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to
provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.
Security
The transmission of information via the Internet or email is not completely secure.
Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the
security of data while you are transmitting it to our site; any such transmission is at
your own risk.
We have put in place security measures to prevent your data from accidental, loss or
disclosure. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures
and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password so that you can
access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password
confidential. You should choose a password it is not easy for someone to guess.
In the event of a data breach we will notify the ICO and you in the event that the
breach results in any likelihood of loss or damage to you.
Data retention
The length of time that we retain, and store data depends on the purpose for which it
was collected. We will only store data for as long as is required to fulfil that purpose,
or for the purpose of satisfying legal requirements.
It is a legal requirement that we keep certain data about our customers and suppliers
for at least six years. The type of data includes Contact, Identity, Financial and
Transaction Data.
Where you have requested that we provide you with marketing materials we will
retain your data until such time as consent is withdrawn by you.

Your rights
The GDPR gives you a range of rights in relation to the personal data that
we collect from. You have the right to:
(a) Access your personal data. This right is commonly known as the
‘data subject access request’ and enables you to receive a copy of
the personal data we hold about you. You will not need to pay a fee
to access your personal data unless we can justifiably demonstrate
that the request is repetitive or excessive. We will respond to all
legitimate data access requests within one month, but we may need
to obtain further information from you in order to confirm your identity
and the legitimacy of the request.
(b) Request update of the personal data. This enables you to have any
incomplete or inaccurate data corrected.
(c) Erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete
personal data where there is no justifiable reason for us continuing to
retain and process it. We may not always be able to delete the data
such as if there is an ongoing contractual relationship between us or
if we are legally required to retain the data.
(d) Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on
consent or our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) as the
justification for processing the data.
(e) Restrict the processing of your personal data. This enables you to
ask us to change the processing of your personal data. For example,
you may wish to vary the basis on which we contact you.
(f) Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.
We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your
personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
(g) Withdraw consent. Where we are relying on consent to process your
personal data you may withdraw that consent. If you withdraw your
consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services
to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw
your consent.
You can exercise these rights at any time by writing to us at the address detailed
above, or by email to info@elgoncleaning.com.

policies whatsoever as we have no control over them.
