Collection, use and disclosure of personal data
The NHHPA is the ‘controller’ of the personal data you provide to us. We aim to take the minimum amount of personal data as possible such as your name, postal address, telephone number, email address and your bank details if you are supporting us financially and we take our duty to process your personal data very seriously. We collect, store and use your personal data for legitimate business purposes and services, from ourselves and other parties which may be of assistance to you such as registration, information updates, available services, purchases, editorials and feedback. On other occasions, we may process personal data to fulfil a contract (for example, if you have purchased something) or where we are required to do this by law or other regulations.
NHHPA also processes your data when it is in our legitimate interests to do this and when these interests do not override your rights.
We aim to contact businesses rather than individuals and therefore we do not seek consent to send you marketing communications as these communications are both in our legitimate interests, provide updates about our work and services, and in your interests. Should you wish to stop marketing communications please email info@nhhpa.co.uk
The links to external sites from our website contain links to other third-party websites and these websites are not covered by this privacy policy and the NHHPA is not responsible for the privacy practices of any of these websites. We have no control over those web sites therefore you would need to read the privacy policies of those websites.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it lawfully and we do not allow third party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only allow them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with your instructions.
What are Legitimate interests?
Following the data protection law which started in May 2018 there are a number of lawful reasons we can use and/or process your personal information. One of the lawful reasons is called ‘legitimate interests’.
Broadly speaking Legitimate Interests means that we can process your personal information if:
We have a genuine and legitimate reason and we are not harming any of your rights and interests.
This means that when you provide your personal details to us we use your information for our legitimate business interests to inform you of updates, information, products, services and generally giving you access to the improvement of your knowledge and business.
