It is our philosophy to only collect information and data that we truly need to service our customers and enable our operations. To this extent, we collect minimal data, as follows:
What | Why |
Contact Information
| In order to liaise and collaborate with you during the process of providing our services and products to you |
Comments captured in the contact form | When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. |
Cookies | If you access our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. Please see our cookie policy for more information on Cookies. |
Embedded Content | Articles or links on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Note: This policy does not cover such external links how that organisation processes personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy notices on the other websites you visit. |
We primarily only collect and process information that is provided to us directly by you for the purpose of collaborating and interacting with you whilst we provide you with our products and services.
We also collect cookies when you visit our website in order to help with span detection and to make it easier for you to use our website. You can always opt out of allowing cookies or do this in your browser settings. It should however be noted that we cannot guarantee that the website will work effectively in such instance.
We maintain a single customer database that is secured, and password protected. Access to this database is limited to Prelude Business Solutions staff with admin rights only. Information cannot be accessed by any other staff or third party. We do not provide access to our database to 3rd Parties, nor will we ever sell your information.
We only retain your information for us long as we require it to transact or maintain a contractual or working relationship with you. For example, if you have a monthly hosting contract with us, we retain your information for as long as the agreement remains active and in-force.
You can opt in if you wish us to retain your information for longer than the minimum storage period. This is normally where we may do business with you again in the future, or at infrequent intervals.
We will never sell or pass on your information to any third party in the course of normal business.
If, for any legitimate legal reason, we are required under UK Law to share your information, you will be advised on the first instance.
We will not retain your information any longer than is necessary or there is a legal basis for doing so.
If we no longer have contractual agreement or provide services to you, we keep your information for 30 days. We will then dispose your information by permanently deleting it from our database.
Under data protection law, you have rights we need to make you aware of. The rights available to you depend on our reason for processing your information.
You have the following rights:
You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.
You have the right to ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.
You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information. This is often referred to as the “right to be forgotten”.
You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your information.
You have the right to object to processing if we are able to process your information because the process forms part of our public tasks or is in our legitimate interests.
This only applies to information which you have given us. You have the right to ask that we transfer the information you gave us from one organisation to another or give it to you. The right only applies if we are processing information based on your consent or under, or in talks about, entering into a contract and the processing is automated.
You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights. If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you.
Please contact us using our contact information provided in this policy if you wish to make a request.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:
(a) Your consent. (You can remove your consent at any time.)
(b) We have a contractual obligation.
