2. THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU


Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified directly or indirectly. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:
  • Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, date of birth and gender.
  • Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.

For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature.

In this case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

    Please contact us if you want further information on the specific safeguards used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

    7. DATA SECURITY


    We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We also limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who need to know the data to be able to process it for us and who are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
    We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable supervisory authority or regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect of our relationship with you.
    To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
    Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us.
    In some circumstances we will 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.

    10. GLOSSARY


    LAWFUL BASIS
    Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.
    Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
    Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.

    THIRD PARTIES
    External Third Parties means:
  • Service providers such as MailChimp based in the United States who provide marketing automation services.
  • Social media platforms such as Facebook based in the United States to target advertisements.
  • Web analytics services such as Google Analytics based in the United States for traffic analysis.

    YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
  • You have the right to:
    Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
    Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
    Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
    Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
    Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
  • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
  • Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
  • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

    11. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY


    We reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time, and any changes we make will be posted on this page. Prior versions of this privacy policy will be archived and made available for review. We will provide notice of any material changes to this privacy policy by posting prominent notice on the ziphq.live Website or notifying you via email.

    12. DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS


    Some web browsers incorporate "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals or settings that signal to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is no uniform way that browsers communicate DNT signals and because no definitive legal standard governs what websites can and cannot do with regard to DNT requests, our Website does not currently process or respond to DNT requests or signals. We await the result of work by the privacy community and industry to develop uniform standards for responding to and handling DNT signals.


    13. INFORMATION ABOUT OUR USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA


    We use social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to provide you with updates on our business, events, activities, promotions, etc. We do not collect any information via the use of these platforms.

You should check the privacy policies of each site before using them and ensure you understand their data practices.

    14. COOKIES POLICY

    15. CHILDREN'S INFORMATION


    The minimum age to use our Website without parental consent is 18 years old.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe we may have information about your child, please contact us to request access to or deletion of information about your child.

    16. LOG FILES


    Like many website owners, we implement website analytic tools like Google Analytics which uses log files to analyze website performance. These log files contain aggregate information on IP addresses, browser types, referring domains etc. Log files do not contain personal information and are used solely to analyze website performance to provide better user experiences. The privacy policy of the service provider applies.

    17. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
