DB Deputy Services Ltd Privacy Policy
DB Deputy Services Ltd collects, processes and stores personal information (sometimes known as “data”) that you provide to us. That data might be about you, or your family member, or a client of yours. We only ask you to provide us with data that we require in order to provide you with the services you require from us. We might collect personal information from you during any contact we have with you, whether it is over the telephone, by email, in person or through our website.
How We Protect Your Information
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information.
We will not sell or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required to do so by law. We will only use your personal information to send you promotional information about third parties which we think you may find interesting if you tell us that you wish this to happen.
Visitors To Our Website www.db-ds.co.uk
When someone visits one of our websites we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out data such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.
Email Communications - Newsletters, Offers, Events etc
We do not send any marketing email communication at present. We would only do so in the future if you opt-in to receiving such communication.
Security & Performance
DB Deputy Services Ltd uses a third-party service to help maintain the security and performance of our website.
People Who Contact Us Via Our Website
If you send us a private or direct message via our website the message will not be shared with any other organisations.
People Who Email Us
We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt and protect email traffic. If your email service does not support TLS, you should be aware that any emails we send or receive may not be protected in transit. We will also monitor any emails sent to us, including file attachments, for viruses or malicious software. Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send is within the bounds of the law. Where enquiries are submitted to us, we will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues and to check on the level of service we provide.
People Who Make a Complaint
When we receive a complaint from a person, we make up a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint. We may have to disclose the complainant’s identity to relevant third parties. This is inevitable where, for example, the accuracy of a person’s record is in dispute. If a complainant doesn’t want information identifying him or her to be disclosed, we will try to respect that. However, it may not be possible to handle a complaint on an anonymous basis. We will keep personal information contained in complaint files in line with our retention policy. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted according to the ‘need to know’ principle.
Reporting a Security Breach
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information.
We are required by law to report any security breaches involving personal data to the Information Commissioner’s Office (www.ico.org.uk). You have a right to complain to the ICO if you so wish.We use the data collected to record the breach, to make decisions about the action we take, and as relevant in order to carry out those actions. We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to carry out these functions, and in line with our retention schedule. This means that logs and breach reports will be retained for two years from receipt, and longer where this information leads to regulatory action being taken.
