GDPR Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

The purpose of this policy is to outline how Longevity Partners Limited has established measures to protect your privacy and information rights. 

YOUR RIGHTS

We recognise that you have rights as a ‘data subject’, and that we have an obligation to uphold these. 

This privacy notice aims to outline how we maintain these rights.  In particular, it outlines:

  • How we collect and process your information
  • Why we do this
  • How you can exercise your rights;
  • Who to contact in the event you’re unhappy with our performance.

In various circumstances, your rights are as follows:

Right

Explanation

Right to be informed

This encompasses the obligation for us to be transparent in how we collect and use your personal data.

Right of access

You have the right to access your personal data and supplementary information.

Right to rectification

If the information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that we correct this.

Right to erasure

You can request that we delete or remove personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request that we cease processing your data, if:

  • you consider it inaccurate or incomplete;
  • you object to processing and we are considering whether we still have a legitimate interest to process it.

Right to data portability

  • Where you have consented to our processing your data, or where the processing is necessary for us to deliver a contract, you can request a copy of that data be provided to a third party in electronic form. 

Right to object

You have the right to object to our processing under certain circumstances. For example, you can object to:

  • direct marketing (including profiling); and
  • processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics

Rights relating to automated decision making including profiling

  • Where we apply automated decision making, we must
  • give you information about the processing;
  • introduce simple ways for you to request human intervention or challenge a decision;
  • carry out regular checks to make sure that our systems are working as intended

 

Information related to automated decision making is contained later in this notice.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

This privacy notice outlines how we are transparent in our processing. Please get in touch with us through the ‘contact details’ section to find out more or to exercise your information rights.  There are circumstances in which we will decline your request, but we will explain this clearly to you.

Please find below a summary of the information we process and how we use this to deliver services to you.

Information we collect

Why we collect this

How we process this

We process this information on our employees to allow us to administer their employment and benefits. 

We process this information as one would expect of a responsible employer – to pay salaries, administer benefits, manage our obligations as an employer. 

Payroll

Sub contractors

Our basis for processing this information is that it is necessary for us to deliver the services that you have contracted to.
