We will not use your personal data for a new purpose that is incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected without providing appropriate information and, where required, obtaining your consent or identifying another lawful basis.
4. Our Lawful Bases for Processing
We rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under Article 6 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”).
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to an enquiry or request for information | Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, where applicable, under Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR |
| Responding to general business enquiries and managing communications | Our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR |
| Operating, maintaining and securing the Website | Our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR |
| Using analytics cookies (where enabled via our cookie banner) | Your consent under Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR (given via our cookie banner) |
| Maintaining business and financial records | Compliance with a legal obligation under Article 6(1)(c) UK GDPR |
| Preventing fraud, misuse and security incidents | Our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR |
| Establishing, exercising or defending legal claims | Our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR and, where applicable, compliance with a legal obligation under Article 6(1)(c) UK GDPR |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, those interests include operating and promoting our business, responding to enquiries, providing and improving our services, maintaining Website security, and protecting our legal and commercial interests. We will not rely on legitimate interests where our interests are overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
We do not generally seek to collect special category data through the Website. Please do not submit sensitive personal information, such as health information, biometric data, information about criminal convictions, or information revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, political opinions or sexual orientation.
5. Information You Must Provide
You are not generally required by law to provide personal data to us through the Website.
However, if you wish to submit an enquiry, we need certain information, such as your name, email address and message, to understand and respond to your request. If you do not provide the information marked as required on the contact form, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry.
6. Who We Share Personal Data With
We may share personal data with the following categories of recipients where necessary for the purposes described in this Policy:
- Website hosting and infrastructure providers;
- Email, communications and mailbox providers;
- Website security, maintenance and technical-support providers;
- Professional advisers, including legal, accounting and insurance advisers;
- Regulators, law-enforcement agencies, courts or other public authorities where we are legally required or permitted to do so; and
- A purchaser, investor or successor in connection with a proposed or completed sale, restructuring, merger or transfer of all or part of our business.
Our service providers will generally process personal data on our behalf and under written contractual arrangements requiring them to protect personal data and process it only in accordance with our instructions and applicable law.
We do not sell or rent personal data collected through the Website.
Processing on behalf of clients (processor role)
In some cases, we process personal data on behalf of a client (for example, where we carry out prospect list research or other marketing support services involving personal data provided by, or collected for, the client). In these circumstances, the client is the controller and Skopo Solutions Ltd acts as a processor. We will process that personal data only on the client’s documented instructions and in accordance with applicable data-protection law and our contractual obligations.
7. International Transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where this involves a restricted transfer under UK data-protection law, we will only make the transfer where an appropriate legal mechanism is available.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
- A transfer to a country recognised as providing an adequate level of protection under UK law;
- The use of the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses;
- Another safeguard permitted under applicable data-protection law; or
- A permitted statutory exception.
Where appropriate, we will also carry out a transfer risk assessment and take supplementary measures where necessary.
You may contact us using the details in section 13 to request further information about the safeguards used for a particular international transfer.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, regulatory, insurance and reporting requirements and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Our usual retention periods are as follows:
| Data type | Usual retention period |
|---|---|
| Enquiry and contact-form data | Up to two years after the enquiry has been closed, unless a contract or continuing business relationship follows |
| Correspondence relating to a contract or project | For the duration of the relevant relationship and for as long afterwards as reasonably necessary for legal, accounting, insurance or claims-management purposes |
| Technical, security and usage data | For the period reasonably necessary to operate and secure the Website, investigate incidents and maintain appropriate technical records |
| Records required for legal, tax or accounting purposes | For the period required by applicable law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims |
When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete it or anonymise it. In some circumstances, we may retain limited information on a restricted-access suppression or record-keeping file where necessary to demonstrate compliance or prevent repeated unwanted contact.
9. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used where they are required for the Website to function, maintain security or provide a service you have requested. These cookies do not generally require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (“PECR”).
Our cookie banner offers optional analytics cookies. If you choose to enable analytics cookies, we will provide appropriate information and, where required by PECR, obtain your consent before setting them. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and any cookie-management tools made available on the Website.
10. Data Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.
These measures may include access controls, restricted permissions, secure communications, supplier due diligence, backups, monitoring and incident-management procedures. No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Your Rights
Subject to certain legal conditions and exemptions, you have the following rights under UK data-protection law:
Right of access
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we process it.
Right to rectification
You may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Right to erasure
You may ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances. This right is not absolute and may not apply where we need to retain information to comply with a legal obligation or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Right to restriction
You may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
Right to data portability
Where applicable, you may ask us to provide personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to transmit it to another controller. This right generally applies where processing is based on consent or a contract and carried out by automated means.
Right to object
You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests. You may also object at any time to processing for direct marketing purposes.
Where we process personal data based on legitimate interests, we may continue processing if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Rights relating to automated decision-making
You have rights relating to certain automated decisions, including decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently use personal data collected through the Website to make solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.
12. How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at:
Email: hello@skopo.co.uk
Please provide enough information for us to identify you and understand your request. We may need to request additional information to verify your identity before responding.
We will usually respond to a valid request within one month. If a request is complex or we receive a number of requests, we may extend this period by up to a further two months where permitted by law. If we do so, we will inform you within the first month and explain why the extension is necessary.
You will not normally have to pay a fee. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, as permitted by applicable law.
