RED complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
For the purposes of the Act, RED is the data controller and sole owner of the personal data collected by the company by direct means or via comms.red.
We implement technical, organisational, administrative and physical measures to help ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk to the personal information we collect, use, disclose and process. These measures are aimed at ensuring the ongoing integrity and confidentiality of personal information. We evaluate these measures on a regular basis to help ensure the security of the processing. Please be aware that, despite our ongoing efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
We restrict the access to your personal information, to those who require access to such information for legitimate and relevant business purposes.
We use up-to-date industry procedures to keep personal data as safe and secure as possible and to protect against loss, unauthorised disclosure or access.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to RED; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent any unauthorised access.
We will delete your personal information when a request is received from you to do so, or, if there is no longer a legitimate reason for us to hold it. If there is any information that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further processing or use of the personal information.
It is important to point out that we may amend this privacy document from time to time, as the internet and data privacy best practice are both constantly evolving.
If you have any questions about this privacy document or how we handle your personal information, please contact andy@comms.red. You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues.
