We collect information such as your contact details, address, postcode, or your preferred means of communication (including email) when you voluntarily provide it. You can browse our website without disclosing any information about yourself. Where we do request information from you, it is only information which we need to be able to provide you with the service(s) you have requested. By entering your details in any fields requested, such as your name, email address, telephone, or mobile number you enable us to provide you with the service(s) you select and for market research, which allows us to understand how to provide a better service for all customers. We will tell you if we would like to send you information about our services or products and give you the choice to opt-in. We will also give you the opportunity to easily opt-out at any time. From time to time, we will take photos or videos of employees to promote the workings of the business and/or for employee safety audits on sites – these may be displayed on our website, within our internal client relationship systems, our intranet, on our social media sites, on brochures or other promotional material. Each employee will be asked, in advance, if they wish to participate. Partaking in the video or photo is therefore deemed as consent for this processing. |
