How I communicate with site visitors

Upon providing your contact details to me I may contact you to discuss services, start and maintain a relationship, resolve a dispute, collect any fees or monies owed, poll your opinions through surveys or questionnaires, send you updates about my business, to enforce any agreements between us, or as otherwise necessary. For these purposes I may contact you via email, telephone, text messages, social media, or postal mail.

 

How to withdraw your consent

You can withdraw your consent to process your data at any time by notifying me by email at adam@aushermarketing.com and including ‘end my consent’ in the subject line.

 

Sharing your data with third parties

If required, I may share the data I have collected from you with:

• The police or other such legal authority – as part of an investigation or otherwise for legal or regulatory purposes.

• Dispute Resolution agencies – for the purposes of dealing with any outstanding payments or complaints.

 

How I protect your personal data

I have various measures in place to protect your personal data:

 

My website is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides me with the online platform that allows me to engage with you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.  

 

All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by me adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by me (should this be required).

 

My entire website is accessed using https rather than http, meaning that all information that is sent and received is encrypted for additional security. You can see this in the address bar of your browser.

 

My email is hosted by Titan Mail and has two-factor authorisation.

 

My website may, from time to time, contain links to external websites. I am not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such external websites.

 

As described in this Privacy and Cookie Policy, I may in some instances disclose your personal data to third parties. Where I do, I require that third party to have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to protect your personal data; however, in some instances I may be compelled by law to disclose your personal data to a third party and have limited control over how it is protected by that party.

 

How long I keep your personal data

Your personal details will be kept for a period of 1 year, or for the life cycle of our relationship together, followed by a period of 1 year.

The technical information about your visit may be kept up to 14 months from your visit to help me develop and improve my website.

 

Your rights

You have the right:

• To see the information I hold on you, and confirm what data I am processing about you.

• To ask me to correct any inaccurate, out-of-date or incomplete personal data.

• To request that I erase the personal information I hold on you. This is also known as the 'right to be forgotten'. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.

• To request that I restrict or limit the way that I use your personal data.

• To request a copy of your information and where possible I will provide it to you in a machine-readable format such as .CSV file if you wish. I will do this free of charge and would include only the information you have provided directly to me.

• To object to the processing of your information.

 

Contact me

If you have any questions about my Privacy Policy, including any requests to exercise your rights, please get in touch by emailing: adam@aushermarketing.com

 

To request a copy of the personal data that I hold about you, please send your request in writing to adam@aushermarketing.com. To enable me to verify your identity and process your request, you must include all of the following information with your request:

• Your full name;

• A description of the data that you are requesting, including a date range;

If you feel that your personal data has not been handled correctly, please contact me in writing in the first instance, so that I can do my best to correct this. If you are still unhappy with my response you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at any time. The ICO’s contact details are available here: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/. I would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with any concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact me in the first instance.
