What do we do with the information we collect?
When we ask you to provide your personal information we will let you know why we are asking and how we will use your data by directing you to this notice.
Your data is kept confidential and not shared with anyone else. Data we hold is not used by us for any purpose other than keeping you in touch with very occasional promotional and marketing information or for surveys for market research purposes.
Tools may be used to monitor the effectiveness of our communications with you, including email tracking, which records when an e-newsletter from us is opened and/or how many links are clicked within the message. The data from this tracking is generally used in an aggregated and anonymised form. Visitor comments may be checked and processed through an automated spam detection service.
You can opt out of any/all of our communications at any point by contacting talktous@visceralbusiness.com.
Who might we share your information with?
We do not disclose personal data to any third parties or external organisations and your data will never be sold or passed to any third party for any purposes.
We may occasionally need to transfer your personal information overseas, for instance to our bulk mail distributors, Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor. We ensure, in conjunction with these mailing and data processors, that any transfers of data will be done securely, in accordance with best practice, and in compliance with GDPR.
How can you access information about you, and request correction of information?
You can ask if we are keeping any personal data about you and you can also request to receive a copy of that personal data – this is called a Subject Access Request. To make a Subject Access Request you will need to provide proof of identity such as a copy of your passport, birth certificate or driving licence before your request can be processed.
Please try to be as clear as possible about the information you are seeking. Once we receive your Subject Access Request and proof of identity, you will receive a response from us within 40 days, and you will be able to get copies of any information we hold on you. However, exemptions to disclosure may apply in some circumstances.
No fee will be charged for this service unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive or if the individual makes multiple requests. Subject Access Requests should be sent to Anne McCrossan, Visceral Business, Gaolyard Studios, Dove Street, St Ives, TR26 2LZ or email talktous@visceralbusiness.com.
At any time you can request that we delete or correct your personal information. If you wish to delete or correct any information on you held by Visceral Business, simply contact talktous@visceralbusiness.com.
