How do we collect information from you?
We obtain information about you when you use our website, for example, when you contact us about products and services.
We also obtain information about you when you communicate with us in the course of administering your account in order for us to provide you with goods and services, or for other purposes, such as job applications.
What type of information is collected from you?
The personal information we collect might include your name, address, telephone number, email address, IP address, and information regarding what pages are accessed and when.
How is your information used?
We may use your information to:

- seek your views or comments on the services we provide

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations (for example records of sales relevant for HMRC purposes). We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.
Legal bases for processing your information
The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:
Consent
In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent, for example, when you tick a box to receive email newsletter.
Contractual obligations
In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations; for example, we’ll collect your address details to deliver your order, and pass them to our courier.
Legal compliance
If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data; for example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting Park Communications to law enforcement.
Legitimate interest
In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.
For example, we will use your purchase history to send you information on our products and services which we believe will be of interest to you.
We will also use your address details to send you direct marketing information by post, telling you about products and services that we think might interest you.
Who has access to your information?
We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.
We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Who has access to your information?
We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to send you email marketing communications). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Details of third party service providers is available from the Data Protection Officer upon request.
We may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, or if we’re under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use or to protect the rights, property or safety of our employees and customers. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

If you do not want to receive direct marketing communications from us about our products and services, then you can select your choices by ticking the relevant boxes situated on the form on which we collect your information.

Security precautions to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. A range of technical and organisational measures are in place and embedded within the business through our ISO 27001 certified Information Security Management System.
When information is transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Profiling
We may analyse your personal information to create a profile of your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information relevant to you. We may make use of additional information about you when it is available from external sources to help us do this effectively.
We may also use your personal information to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk.

Transferring your information outside of Europe
Park Communications does not store any personal data outside of the EU.

By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing.
