How we keep your data safe and who has access to it

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

We always ensure only authorised personnel have access to your information, and that they are appropriately trained to manage your data.

Despite taking precautions, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose to us online, and you must understand that you do so at your own risk.

How we keep your information up to date

Where possible, we try to keep your records up to date; for example, by contacting our customers at least once a year to check details are correct. However, we’d really appreciate it if you let us know if your contact details change.

Email enquiries@ecopurewaters.com

How long we keep your information for

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary.

If you ask us to stop sending you marketing materials, we will keep a record of your contact details and appropriate information to enable us to comply with your request not to be contacted by us.

Our legal basis for processing your information

Although in many cases we will seek consent to process your personal data, in some instances we may process your information without consent when we are legally allowed to do so. This will only be where it is in our legitimate interests to do so and where we are confident that such processing is not likely to prejudice your legitimate interests or rights and freedoms.

Where we are processing your personal data on the basis of consent that you have given us, you are entitled to withdraw that consent at any time such that we can no longer rely on it as a basis for continuing to process your personal information.

Your rights

You retain control of how we use your data and you have the right to ask us to stop processing your personal information, which we will do. In some circumstances, we may legally be required to retain your personal information for audit purposes. However, this will be discussed with you depending on your requirements.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you are also granted a number of additional rights. Every user is entitled to the following:

The right to access – You have the right to request our Company for copies of your personal data.

The right to rectification – You have the right to request that our Company correct any information you believe is inaccurate. You also have the right to request our Company to complete the information you believe is incomplete.
