    As a data controller, we take your privacy and our responsibilities very seriously. This is our privacy notice. It provides you with details the type of personal data we hold, the way in which we collect it and how we process it through your use of our website.

    Any information that can identify you as an individual is known as ‘Personal Data’. This does not include any anonymised data.

    Under current legislation, there is also a special category of ‘Sensitive Data’. Sensitive data includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, your health as well as genetic and biometric data. In order to process sensitive data we need your explicit consent.

      This may include your preferences in receiving marketing communications from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

      We may also process what is known as aggregated data from your personal data. As this data does not reveal your identity it is not classed as ‘Personal Data’. An example of this might be if we were analyse our website usage data which allows us to see what percentage of users visit which pages or use which features.

    Please note that there are certain times when we may be required to collect personal data under the terms of a contract between us or where we are required to do so by law. Should you not provide us with that data when requested, it is unlikely that we will be able to keep our end of any contract between us (for example, to deliver goods or services to you). This may mean we have to cancel a product or service you have ordered. You will, of course, be notified in advance when that might be the case.

  5. HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Compatible with an existing purpose: If we reasonably think that we need to use your personal data for another reason but that reason is compatible with the original purpose then we are entitled to do so.

SHARING OR ‘DISCLOSURE’ OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We have referred above to third parties with whom we might share your personal data.

Below is a list of other third parties who we may share your personal data with and for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 8 above:

  1. HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities based in the United Kingdom and other relevant jurisdictions who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

Any third parties to whom we transfer your data may only process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. Such third parties are required to respect the security of that personal data and to comply with the law.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Some of our third parties service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This means that when they process your personal data it inevitably means that such data is transferred outside of the EEA. Such transfers have been prohibited unless we meet certain criteria prescribed by European law when making such a transfer. As a result, we do our best to ensure that the same level of security of data is in place by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • the country to which your personal data is proposed to be transferred having been deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; or

  • the use of certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission, specific contracts or codes of conduct which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or

  • in the case of third parties based in the US, where they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Please email us at contactus@sizzledeck.com if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

If none of the above safeguards is available, we may instead request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

DATA SECURITY

We have taken a number of steps to ensure and protect the security of your personal data.

  • Security Measures: we have put in place appropriate security measures and data protection policies to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed;

  • Training: we have trained our staff to understand their data protection obligations and to ensure they are fully aware and understand their legal obligations, our data protection policies and security measures;

  • Limited access: we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have also put in place a response procedure in the event of any actual or suspected personal data breach. We will notify you and any applicable body of any such reportable breach within the legal time period for doing so.

HOW LONG WE WILL KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA - DATA RETENTION

We will only ever keep your personal data for as long as we need it to be able to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it in the first place. This will include any reporting requirements, legal requirements or accounting requirements.

When we think about how long we should keep or retain your data, we think about:

  • the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data;

  • the potential risk of loss, damage or harm from any disclosure, loss, misuse or unauthorised use of your personal data;

  • the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes without needing your personal data, and

  • the applicable legal requirements, for example we have to keep basic information about our customers for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

You have the legal right to ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances. Please see the section below entitled ‘Your Legal Rights’ for further information.

We may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. This is because you can no longer be identified from the anonymised data.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive we may either decide to charge a reasonable fee or we may refuse to comply with your request. We will always explain to you our reasons for doing so.

In order to do that, we may need to request specific information from you as a security measure to ensure that we are not disclosing personal data to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request in order to speed up our response.

Legitimate requests will generally be dealt with in one calendar month. Sometimes it may take a bit longer if there are numerous requests or if the request is a little more complex than usual. We will always try to keep you up to date with our progress.

WHAT IF THE INFORMATION WE HOLD ABOUT YOU IS WRONG?

It is very important that any personal data we hold about you is correct and is current i.e. is up to date. You have the right to correct us if any information we hold is incorrect or out of date. Please tell us if at any time your personal information changes or if we just have it wrong by emailing us at contactus@sizzledeck.com.

WHAT IF WE GET SOMETHING WRONG?

Sometimes, we might get something wrong. If we do, we want to put it right. We would really appreciate it if you would contact us first to try and resolve the issue if you ever have any cause to be unhappy with any aspect of the way in which we collect and use your data. However, if you remain unhappy please note that you always have the right to make a more formal complaint through the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues and their website is at www.ico.org.uk.

At Sizzle Works, we take anti-spam compliance very seriously. While anti-spam laws like the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act are a step in the right direction for reducing the spam problem, we don’t feel they go far enough. Our definition of spam goes beyond the laws in most countries and encompasses what we believe to be true permission-based email marketing. Our Software is directly integrated into the spam reporting systems of major ISPs. Your compliance with this Anti-Spam Policy will help ensure that we maintain our reputation and white-list status with major ISPs and whitelisting programs, which in turn, will ensure that you, our customer, retain high deliverability rate and get the most out of our Services.

Throughout this Anti-Spam Policy references to “Company” are references to Sizzle Works Ltd and Sizzle Deck , and references to “Customer” are to you, a user of the Services.

Customer must monitor, correct, and process unsubscribe requests immediately and ensure that Users do not remove, disable or attempt to remove or disable such link.

    2. Contact Information . Each email/SMS must clearly and accurately identify the individual or organisation that authorised the sending of the email (“Authorising Party”). This means that if Customer is sending messages on behalf of an Authorising Party, the Authorising Party must be identified.

To the extent required by law, identification must include the correct legal name of the Authorising Party, a registered business number, legitimate physical address, and contact details. All identification information should remain valid for at least 30 days after the email is sent.

In the event that Company sends Customer a notification requesting an explanation and tips for remediation, Customer must respond to Company’s requests promptly and provide its remediation plan. If Customer is unresponsive, does not implement remediation measures in accordance with Company’s recommendations within thirty (30) days of Company’s notification to Customer, and/or Customer continues to experience high complaint rates (as determined by Company in its sole discretion), then Company may lock Customer’s Account until the issue is resolved or until the end of the period specified by the contract.
