ipushpull Privacy Notice

Updated 30th June 2020

We take your privacy very seriously. Please read this privacy notice carefully as it contains important information on who we are and how and why we collect, store, use and share your personal information. It also explains your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us or supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.

We collect, use and are responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation, which applies across the European Union (as well as in the United Kingdom) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.

Key terms

It would be helpful to start by explaining some key terms used in this document:

We, us, our

Pushpull Technology Ltd

Our data protection officer

David Jones, Director

Personal information

Name, email address and phone number used to access our service

Personal information we collect about you

We may collect and use the following personal information about you:

  • your name and contact information, notably email address, and (where relevant) your phone number and company details

This personal information is required to provide the ipushpull service (including associated applications and platforms) to you or your employer. If you do not provide this information, we have no way to identify you and provide access to the service.

How your personal information is collected

We collect most of this personal information directly from you via online registration through our website, trade events or industry programmes. However, we may also obtain the same personal information from your employer, for example from colleagues who have been authorised by your employer to provide it.

How and why we use your personal information

Under data protection law, we can only use your personal information if we have a proper reason for doing so, e.g.

  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
  • for the performance of our contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract;
  • for our legitimate interests or those of a third party; or
  • where you have given consent.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests.

The table below explains what we use (process) your personal information for and our reasons for doing so:

What we use your personal information for

Our reasons

To provide ipushpull products and services

For our legitimate interest in performance of the services in accordance with our contract with you or your employer

To prevent and detect fraud

For our legitimate interest in minimising fraud

Gathering and providing information required by or relating to audits, enquiries or investigations by regulatory bodies

To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations

Preventing unauthorised access and modifications to systems

For our legitimate interests in preventing and detecting criminal activity

For our legitimate interests in promoting our business to existing and former customers

External audits and quality checks, e.g. for ISO or Investors in People accreditation and the audit of our accounts

For our legitimate interests in maintaining our accreditations so we can demonstrate we operate at the highest standards

To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations

Promotional communications

We may use your personal information to send you updates (by email, text message, telephone or post) about our products and services, including exclusive offers, promotions or new products and services.

We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal information for promotional purposes (see above ‘How and why we use your personal information’). This means we do not usually need your consent to send you promotional communications. However, where consent is needed, we will ask for this consent separately and clearly.

We will always treat your personal information with the utmost respect and never sell OR share it with other organisations outside the Pushpull Technology Ltd. group for marketing purposes.

You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time by:

  • contacting us at info@ipushpull.com
  • using the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails

We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you instruct us to provide further products and services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.

Who we share your personal information with

We routinely share personal information with:

  • companies within the Pushpull Technology Ltd. group
  • third parties we use to help deliver our products and services to you, e.g. payment service providers;
  • other third parties we use to help us run our business, e.g. website hosts;

We only allow our service providers to handle your personal information if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal information. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers relating to ensure they can only use your personal information to provide services to us and to you. We may also share personal information with external auditors.

We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We may also need to share some personal information with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a re-structuring. Usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible. The recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations.

We will not share your personal information with any other third party.

Where your personal information is held

Information may be held at our offices and those of our group companies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see above: ‘Who we share your personal information with’).

Some of these third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal information when this occurs, see below: ‘Exporting your personal information’.

How long your personal information will be kept

We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us or we are providing products or services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary:

  • to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;
  • to show that we treated you fairly;
  • to keep records required by law.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.

Exporting your personal information

To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to transfer your personal information to places which do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom.  At the moment this is anywhere outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA).  For example:

  • with your and our service providers located outside the EEA;
  • if you are based outside the EEA;
  • where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you

European and UK data protection law requires us to check whether the transfer is lawful despite the difference in data protection law.  For example, a transfer to Argentina will almost always be lawful even though their data protection law is different.

Where this is not the case, we will ensure that we and the recipient of the data sign standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission for the purpose, in order to ensure your personal information remains adequately protected.

If you would like further information please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

Your rights

You have the following rights, which you can exercise free of charge:

Access

The right to be provided with a copy of your personal information (the right of access)

Rectification

The right to require us to correct any mistakes in your personal information

To be forgotten

The right to require us to delete your personal information—in certain situations

Restriction of processing

The right to require us to restrict processing of your personal information—in certain circumstances, e.g. if you contest the accuracy of the data

Data portability

The right to receive the personal information you provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or transmit that data to a third party—in certain situations

To object

The right to object:

—at any time to your personal information being processed for direct marketing (including profiling);

—in certain other situations to our continued processing of your personal information, e.g. processing carried out for the purpose of our legitimate interests.

Not to be subject to automated individual decision making

The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you

For further information on each of those rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, please contact us or see the Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on individuals’ rights under the General Data Protection Regulation.

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please:

  • email, call or write to us OR our Data Protection Officer —see below: ‘How to contact us’; and
  • let us have enough information to identify you (e.g. your full name, email details and service logon username);
  • let us have proof of your identity; and
  • let us know what right you want to exercise and the information to which your request relates.

Keeping your personal information secure

We have appropriate security measures to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed unlawfully. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it (see above: ‘Who we share your personal information with’). Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

The security of your information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

We follow generally accepted standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our website, you can view our Security Overview Page or contact us at info@ipushpull.com.

How to complain

We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you may raise about our use of your information.  Please feel free to contact us or our data protection officer using the details at the bottom of the notice.

The General Data Protection Regulation also gives you right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the European Union (or European Economic Area) state where you work, normally live or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred. The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner who may be contacted at https://ico.org.uk/concerns or telephone: 0303 123 1113.

Changes to this privacy policy

This Privacy Notice may change from time to time. If we make a change to this Privacy Notice that we believe materially reduces your rights, we will provide you with notice (for example, by email). And we may provide notice of changes in other circumstances as well. By continuing to use the Service after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Notice.

How to contact us

Please contact us by post, email or telephone if you have any questions about this privacy policy or the information we hold about you.

ipushpull Security Overview

Effective: 1st September 2019

Encryption in transit

ipushpull uses SSL/TLS to protect your data while it is in transit between your device and our servers.

Server-side Encryption

The contents of your Pages are encrypted using 256-bit AES symmetric encryption while they are stored on our servers. We restrict access to the keys we use to encrypt and decrypt your data.

Client-side encryption

If you wish, you may configure ipushpull to encrypt the contents of your Pages before they are pushed to our servers and decrypt them after they have been pulled back to your (or your permissioned Users’) devices. This encryption/decryption is performed automatically by our client applications e.g. our desktop and mobile websites and our Microsoft Excel add-in. The passphrases you use for encryption are not passed to the ipushpull servers so we have no way of decrypting the data. Only you, and the people you choose to share your passphrases with, will be able to decrypt the data.

IMPORTANT: if you lose or forget your passphrases there is no way to recover your data.

Note that activating client-side encryption on a page will restrict some functionality (e.g. SMS access to your Pages) which does not currently support encryption.

Data that is not encrypted on our servers

We do not encrypt data that is vital to the operation of the ipushpull service e.g. the set of Users you have granted access to your Pages. We also collect statistics to allow you to monitor the usage of your Folder and for billing purposes.

Maintaining your security

Choose a strong password to protect your Folder and encourage your Users to do the same.

Monitor the activity on your Folder. Your FolderUsage Page is updated every day with details of which of your users have been accessing your Pages.
