​

FOR FULFILMENT PURPOSES

​

In order to support your business and perform our contract for the Services with you, we may need to collect personal data to arrange repairs, fulfil orders and perform services. We will need to arrange appointments to do so, and therefore need to get the contact details of someone at your business. Examples include:

​

  • when you log a call to arrange a repair or service;

  • when you fill in a form we send you about one of our products, including online versions;

  • provision of managed services information such as reporting, usage and utilisation;

  • when we detect issues with your software or hardware which we need to talk to you about;

  • when you arrange site visits or equipment collection.
     

When we have to perform technical operations on your IT infrastructure, we may have access to personal data held by your organisation. Where we use third parties for our fulfilment activities, we make sure to choose trusted partners who have the same values that we do.

​

Depending on your role, we may need to use your information to contact you regarding online service availability (for example, updates relating to periodical maintenance) or changes to those services.

 

TO FIND NEW CUSTOMERS

 

To offer our products and services to others who may be interested in them, we sometimes obtain your contact details from our partners in the industry, as well as professional bodies who provide this information to businesses. When we obtain contact details this way we ensure that your contact details are not part of any national opt-out service.

​

TO SEND OUT SURVEYS AND USE THE RESULTS TO IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

 

LiveLink Technology and its partners occasionally send our customers surveys and feedback forms. Where you provide your name and contact details, we may use these to respond to any feedback, provide you with information we think you’ll be interested to hear given your responses and add you to our marketing database (you can opt out of this during the survey, if you’re not interested).

 

Our partners may, where permitted, decide on how to use your information for their surveys. Where this is the case, LiveLink Technology is not in control of the use of your personal information and you are no longer subject to this privacy notice. Please read the privacy policies of these partners for more information on their privacy practices or for information on how to unsubscribe.

​

  • Compliance with law: where LiveLink Technology is subject to a legal obligation and needs to use your personal information in order to comply with that obligation.
     

OUR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

​

LiveLink Technology’s legitimate interests include where it is necessary for LiveLink Technology to understand our customers in sufficient detail, so we can create and publicise new products and services, and offer our customers a better experience. For example:

Like most businesses, where permissible we market new products and services which we think you may be interested in these, always offering you the option to unsubscribe.

​

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

​

WITHIN LIVELINK TECHNOLOGY

We restrict access to personal data to people within our company who have a “need to know” such information.

​

OUTSIDE LIVELINK TECHNOLOGY, TO OUR PARTNERS AND THIRD PARTIES
 

Except as described in this notice or where you have provided your consent, the personal information processed when you use our Services will not be shared with or disclosed to other individuals or businesses, for their own use.
 

We may disclose your personal information to the following third parties, amongst others, for the purposes described here:

  • Third-party service providers which carry out marketing campaigns, lead generation or run customer surveys on our behalf;

  • Payment processing companies, credit reference agencies and anti-fraud screening service providers in order to process payments and (where necessary) to carry out fraud-screening;

  • With our professional and legal advisers for the purposes of obtaining commercial, financial or legal advice;

  • In the event that we sell any business assets, personal information may be disclosed to a potential buyer. In these circumstances, we will make reasonable attempts to ensure the buyer will be bound by the terms of this Privacy Notice;

  • In exceptional circumstances, personal information may be shared with third parties, such as the police and regulatory authorities, to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our customers, staff and assets;

  • We may also disclose your personal information if it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation in any jurisdiction, including where that obligation arises as a result of a voluntary act or decision by us (e.g. our decision to operate to a country or a related decision).
     

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
 

Your personal information is held on secure servers and is not processed for any purposes other than those set out in this Privacy Notice. The servers LiveLink Technology uses to store this information are accessible to authorised staff only and LiveLink Technology ensures that adequate security measures are in place.

​

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at the contact details below.

​

We use vendors and service providers based around the world. Consequently, your personal information may be processed in countries outside of the country where you live, including if you live in Europe, and such countries may include some where you may have fewer legal rights in respect of your personal information than you do under local law. If we transfer personal information outside of the European Economic Area to a country that provides a lower standard of legal protection for your personal information, we will ensure that your privacy rights are protected by appropriate safeguards, in particular through the use of the EU’s standard contractual clauses. Please contact us if you would like more information about these safeguards.

​

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

​

LiveLink Technology may use your personal information for marketing purposes and to inform you about other products and services, which LiveLink Technology thinks might be of interest for you and your business. You can specify whether you wish to receive such information by ticking the appropriate box in our forms, or by telling us your preference where we interact in person.

​

You will be able to opt out from receiving such information at any time from the relevant preference centre or by unsubscribing using a link/mechanism provided in all applicable communications. If you unsubscribe from marketing, please note we may still contact you with service messages from time to time (for example, to confirm an order you have made or to confirm delivery details).

​

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

​

In certain jurisdictions you have the right to access, correct, update, restrict, receive a machine-readable copy of your personal information or delete your data as well as any other right applicable in your jurisdiction. You can request to exercise these rights by clicking on the link provided in our communication emails, or accessing the relevant section of the LiveLink Technology website or by contacting us using the contact details set out at the end of this Notice.

You also have the right to object to your personal information being used for certain purposes, including to send you marketing. See ‘Marketing Communications’ above, for more details of how to opt-out of marketing.

​

We will comply with any requests to exercise your rights in accordance with applicable law. Please be aware, however, that there are a number of limitations to these rights, and there may be circumstances where we are not able to comply with your request.

You are also entitled to raise your concerns with your local data protection authority.

​

RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

​

LiveLink Technology will keep your personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes set out above in this Privacy Notice and in accordance with any retention periods required by applicable laws and during the relevant statutes of limitations. This term should typically not exceed 6 years in most jurisdictions. For example, where you have made a purchase with us, we will keep a record of your purchase for the period necessary for invoicing, tax and warranty purposes. We may also keep a record of correspondence with you (for example if you have made a complaint about a product or our Services) for as long as is necessary to protect us from a legal claim. Where we no longer have a need to keep your personal information, we will delete it. Please note that where you unsubscribe from our marketing communications, we will keep a record of your communication information to ensure we do not market to you in future.

​

LiveLink Technology will not delete your personal information where it refers to an active relationship or a product or service explicitly requested by you (for example, a recent purchase made at a LiveLink Technology Services).

​
