6. European Union Users

Data Protection law in Europe requires a “lawful basis” for collecting and retaining personal data from citizens or residents of the European Economic Area. The Company’s lawful bases include:

• Performing the contract we have with you: In certain circumstances we need your personal data to comply with our contractural obligation to deliver our Products or Services.
• Legal compliance: Sometimes we are required by law to collect and use your data.
• Legitimate interests: This is a technical term in data protection law which essentially means we have a good and fair reason to use your data and we do so in ways which do not hurt your interests and rights. We sometimes process your personal information for certain legitimate business purposes, which include some or all of the following:
  • where the processing enables us to enhance, modify, personalise or otherwise improve our products, services or communications for the benefits of our customers;
  • to identify and prevent fraud;
  • to enhance the security of our information systems;
  • to better understand how users interact with our websites;
  • to provide postal communications which we think will be of interest to you;
  • to determine the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and advertising.

Whenever we process data for these purposes we will ensure we always keep your Personal Data rights in high regard and take account of these rights. You have the right to object to this processing if you wish, and if you wish to do so please contact us at ron@essencetransformation.co.uk. Please bear in mind that if you object, this may affect our ability to carry out tasks above for your benefit.

We may also share information that’s aggregated and anonymised in a way that it doesn’t directly identify you.

– Information that’s shared to protect the Company and comply with the law

We reserve the right to disclose personal information when we believe that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with the law or law enforcement, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to protect the Company’s legal rights, property, or the safety of the Company, its employees, users, or others.

9. Data Transfers

Due to the nature of the internet, your information may be processed on servers located outside of the country where you live. The rules that protect your personal information under United Kingdom and EU law may be different than in your home country. If you choose to use our services, you need to agree to our [Terms of Service], which set out the contract between the Company and its users.

When we receive formal written complaints, we respond by contacting the person who made the complaint. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of your data that we cannot resolve with you directly.

Users residing in certain countries, including the EU, are afforded certain rights regarding their personal information.
