8. Marketing

We may collect your identity and contact details (such as your name, email address, phone number or address) in order to send you information about our products and services which you might be interested in. We may collect this directly from you, or through a third party. If a third party collected your name and contact details, we will process your professional data based on legitimate interests to send you a fair processing notice and then respect any communication preferences you give us.

You always have the right to “opt out” of receiving our marketing. You can exercise the right at any time by contacting us at contactdez@dezenhall.com. If we send you any marketing emails, we will always provide an unsubscribe option to allow you to opt out of any further marketing emails. If you “opt-out” of our marketing materials, you will be added to our suppression list to ensure we do not accidentally send you further marketing. Where you unsubscribe from any postal marketing, you may initially still receive some content which has already been printed or sent, but we will remove you from any future campaigns. We may still need to contact you administrative or operational purposes, but we will make sure that those communications do not include direct marketing.

If you are an existing customer or are acting as a business we use your contact details as necessary for our legitimate interests in marketing to you and maintaining a list of potential customers.

We never sell or share your name or contact details with third parties for marketing purposes. We do use third party service providers to send out our marketing, but we only allow them to use that information on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.

We retain your details on our marketing list until you “opt-out”, at which point we add you to our suppression list. We keep that suppression list indefinitely to comply with our legal obligations to ensure we don’t accidentally send you any more marketing.

9. Retention of your data

When calculating the appropriate retention period for your data, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the data, the purposes for which we are processing the data, and any applicable statutory retention periods. Using these criteria, we regularly review the personal data which we hold and the purposes for which it is held and processed. Job applicant data is retained for up to one year. Other types of personal data are retained for up to seven years. After we have ceased to provide you with services, your data will be processed only for technical reasons (system integrity, back-ups) while it remains inactive in our systems.

Where we need to retain your personal data to resolve disputes or to otherwise comply with our legal or contractual obligations, we will retain such personal data for the duration necessary to comply with such obligations.

We store your personal data as long as you wish to receive marketing content from us (you have the right to withdraw your consent or object processing at any time) or after five years if you remain inactive in our marketing communications.

We retain information collected by a cookie until that cookie expires or is disabled by you.

10. Accuracy of your data

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

11. Security of your data

In order to protect your personal data, we maintain reasonable safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure or accidental loss or destruction, and we require third parties providing services on our behalf to do the same. These measures include ensuring our internal IT systems are suitably secure and implementing procedures to deal with any suspected data breach.

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will take steps to mitigate any loss or destruction of data and, if required by law, will notify you and any applicable authority of such a breach.

Although we use reasonable safeguards to protect your information once we have received your personal data, you will appreciate that the transmission of data over the internet (including by e-mail) is never completely secure. We endeavor to protect personal data, but we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to or by us.

12. Transfer of your data to third parties

Our business and operations (including data servers) are based in the United States of America (the “USA”). When you access our services and provide us with your personal details (by logging in on-line), you will in effect be providing us your personal data for processing in the USA.

Your personal data is shared with third party service providers who process the information on our behalf so that we can provide our services to you. Our third-party providers may use their own subcontractors who may be given access to your personal data in order to provide our services to you.  We obligate these service providers not to use or disclose the information they receive from us except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.

In the event Dezenhall, or substantially all of its assets, are acquired, the business is restructured, or in the unlikely event that Dezenhall goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, website user information, including personal information, would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You agree that the acquirer of this information under these circumstances may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

We may also need to share your personal data with a regulator or to otherwise comply with the law, such as (i) if we are required to do so by law, (ii) in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

13. Third party links

Our Sites contain links to and from other applications, plug-ins and websites of other networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that they (and any services that may be accessible through them) have their own privacy policies and practices that we do not control and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for the content of these applications or websites or their policies or for any personal data that may be collected through these applications, websites or services. We encourage you to read these privacy policies before you submit any personal data to these applications or websites or use such services.

Please note you have the opportunity to participate in discussions on social media platforms administered by us. The goal of these social media platforms is to enable you to share content. We are not responsible if you share data and personal information on social media platforms and then this information is used or misappropriated by other users on the relevant platform. Any disclosures made on a social media platform will be governed by the privacy policy and terms of use of that platform.

However, by disabling cookies, certain features and functionality of our websites may no longer work properly, or at all.

First-party cookies: On our Website we use certain Dezenhall cookies. Refusal of these cookies may result in your inability to access some pages or use some of the features and functions of the Website. If you accept but then decline cookies, please note that some Dezenhall cookies will remain on your computer’s hard drives unless and until you manually delete the cookie file. However please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Dezenhall cookie files generally do not contain personal information or track your movement outside of our site.

Analytics: This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help Dezenhall analyze how users use the Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on Website activity, and providing other services relating to Website activity and internet usage for us. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

Social media: We may use social media sharing and other “widgets” to enable interaction with social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Some of these social networks may be able to track your visit to the Website (or any site that uses the widgets) because when you visit a social network, it may place personally identifiable cookies in your browser that are then transmitted back to the social network when you visit other sites that use that network’s widgets, even if you do not click on or interact with the widget. If you have questions about a particular social network’s information collection or cookie practices, please refer to the privacy and use policies of that social network.

Functionality: These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced features. For instance, the Website may be able to remember your login details, so that you do not have to repeatedly sign into your account when using a particular device to access the Website. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on an article. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymized. They do not gather any information about you that could be used for advertising or remember where you have been on the internet.

The major browsers have attempted to implement the draft “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (“W3C”) in their latest releases. As this standard has not been finalized, our Website is not compatible with DNT and so, does not recognize DNT settings.

16. Amendments to this Privacy Policy
