This privacy policy applies to the Lincs PCS website at www.lincspcs.co.uk
(‘Website’). We at Lincs PCS take your privacy seriously. This policy covers
the collection, processing and other use of personal data under the Data
Protection Act 1998 (‘DPA’) and the General Data Protection Regulations
(‘GDPR’). For the purpose of the DPA and GDPR we are the data controller and
any enquiry regarding the collection or processing of your data should be
addressed to Michael Budden at The Old Bells, High Street, Caythorpe NG32 3DP.
By using the Website, you consent to this policy. We are registered with the
Information Commissioner’s Office for this purpose.
We will collect personal data on this Website only if it is directly provided
to us by you, the user, e.g. your
e-mail address, name, home or work address
and telephone number, and therefore has been provided by you with your consent.
Normally you will only provide such details if you are making an enquiry into
purchasing a service from us.
We also use analytical and statistical tools that monitor details of your
visits to our website and the resources that you access, including, but not
limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data
(but this data will not identify you personally).
We may hold and process personal data that you provide to us in accordance
with the DPA and GDPR. The information that we collect and store relating to
you is primarily used to enable us to provide our services to you, and to meet
our contractual commitments to you. In addition, we may use the information
for the following purposes:
To notify you about any changes to our website, such as improvements or
service/product changes, that may affect our service;
If you are an existing customer, we may contact you with information about
goods and services similar to those that were the subject of a previous sale
to you;
Where you have consented to receive such information, to provide information
on other parties’ products or services that we feel may be of interest to you;
Where you have consented to receive our e-newsletters, from time to time to
provide that to you.
We may disclose your information to regulatory bodies to enable us to comply
with the law and to assist fraud protection and minimise credit risk.
Where you have consented for us to do so, we may provide your data to selected
third parties who may contact you about their goods or services that you may
be interested in.
If you do not want us to use your data for our use, 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 post or email address detailed above at any time. Please be
advised that we do not reveal information about identifiable individuals to
our advertisers, but we may, on occasion, provide them with aggregate
statistical information about our visitors.
If you have given us consent to use your data for a particular purpose you
can 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 post or email address detailed above at any time.
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, 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 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
and in accordance with the DPA and GDPR. 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.
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal data, such as race, religion, or
political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
We may disclose your personal data outside of our group: (a) in the event that
we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your
personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
and (b) if Lincs Private Client Services Ltd business is bought by a third
party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one
of the assets to transfer to the buyer. However, any such transfer will only be
on terms that the confidentiality of your personal data is protected and that
the terms of this Privacy Policy will continue to be complied with by the recipient.
Otherwise, we will process, disclose or share your personal data only if required
to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to
comply with legal requirements or legal process served on us or the website. You
have the right to opt out of our processing your personal data for marketing
purposes by contacting us at the post or email address detailed above.
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. Once we have received your personal
data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent
unauthorised access.
