INTRODUCTION
This page aims to help you understand what information we might collect about you and how we use it.
STRATEGY GROUP, HUMAN RESOURCE is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and will comply with the applicable data protection laws in all our dealings with your personal data. Read our GDPR statement on how we are doing this.
We may collect and process the following data about you:
- Information about you, such as your name, your business telephone number and email address
- Information that is provided by filling in forms on our sites. This includes information provided at the time of downloading gated material such as eBooks, brochures or case studies associated with HR and payroll, or completing a contact form or subscribing to newsletters;
- If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence;
- We may also ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them;
- Details of your visits to our site and emails received including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, whether this is required for our own billing purposes or otherwise.
IP addresses
We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our partners, sponsors or advertisers. This is statistical data in aggregated form about our users’ browsing actions and patterns and will not allow our partners to identify you from such data.
Where we store your personal data
We will store all information about you on secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site. Each business unit has conducted its own security reviews in relation to data transmission and has adjusted its processes accordingly. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
Legal basis to process your personal data
Under the applicable data protection laws, we need a lawful basis to collect and use your personal data. The law allows for six lawful bases to process people’s personal data, and one of them allows personal data to be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate interest of the organization – if it is fair and balanced and does not unduly impact the rights of individuals.
Due to the nature of our business it is not practical for us to ask every individual for his/her consent. We have assessed our and our clients’ business interests in carrying out marketing activities and we have carefully considered the impact the collection and use of personal data could potentially have on individuals’ rights. Our databases contain business data, which is used to promote HR and Payroll business and such activities are unlikely to affect the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals concerned. We have therefore concluded that the most appropriate lawful ground for the processing of your personal is ‘legitimate interest’, in your capacity as representative of your company (b2b).
In the event you request any goods and/or services from us, we will rely on our contractual relationship to process your personal data to provide such goods and/or services to you.
In certain very limited circumstances we may also rely on a specific consent provided by you for the processing of your personal data. In those circumstances you can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us – see our contact details below.
Uses made of the information
We may use information held about you in the following ways, to:
- Ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer;
- Provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you;
- Carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us;
- Allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so; and
- To notify you about changes to our service.
When contacting you for the above purposes we may do so by phone, post, email or other electronic means, unless you tell us otherwise.
We may share information, including personal data, with third parties that provide support to our business
Data Retention
We collect and store personal data for our business database. As such, we will only retain your personal data for as long as we believe it is up-to-date, i.e. as long as it is associated with a business that is included in our database. We verify our data periodically and if we learn that you are no longer involved with a business that is in our database, we will remove your data from our records.
