The personal information we collect about you

If you are using the Inkpath platform whilst being a member of an establishment using Inkpath’s services, then Inkpath is acting as a data processor on behalf of your establishment. Please refer to the establishment’s own Privacy Policy for details of what data they collect and how they process it.

If you are using the Inkpath platform as a Life User independent of any other establishment using Inkpath’s services, then we will collect your name and e mail address in order to provide you with access to the platform. You may use the platform to upload and store your own data and documents, but these are not accessed by Inkpath, unless at your specific request, and merely stored for your use.

If you use our web contact form or choose to sign up for a demonstration, we will collect your name, e mail address, the name of your employer or educational institution, together with your optional consent to receive further communications from us. This consent can be removed at any time simply by using the unsubscribe button on any of our e mail communications. You can also choose to supply your telephone number, but this is optional.

If you use our webchat facility, we will collect your name and e mail address. We will also temporarily store your IP address. You will also have the option to consent to receive further communications from us. If given, this consent can be removed at any time simply by using the unsubscribe button on any of our e mail communications.

If you are, or work for, a supplier to Inkpath, then we will collect the minimum amount of business specific personal data, usually your name, business role and business contact details to enable us to manage the business relationship.

If you are, or work for, a business customer of Inkpath, then we will collect the minimum amount of business specific personal data, usually your name, business role and business contact details to enable us to manage the business relationship.

How we store, use and share your personal information for our core business

Life Users (when acting independently of an establishment using the Inkpath platform)

We collect, store and use your personal data in order that we may fulfil the terms of the Life User agreement and provide you with access to the Inkpath platform.

Individuals who enquire about our services or enrol for a demonstration session

We collect, store and use your personal details as outlined above for our legitimate business interests, so that we can fulfil both your immediate and any potential future needs.

This storage and use of your personal information allows you to be contacted about both your current booking or enquiry, and also allows us to update you with information, opportunities and developments which could be both interesting and beneficial in the future. We do not believe that this storage and use will unduly prejudice your rights or freedoms.

Individuals who join our marketing communications list

We collect, store and use your personal details as outlined above with your explicit consent so that we can contact you with details of our services, offers and other marketing items which we believe will be of interest or potential benefit. You can remove your consent at any time using the unsubscribe button on any of our e mail communications to you.

Business partners (and potential business partners)

We collect, store and use the business contact details of individuals working with our business partners for the maintenance and management of the day-to-day relationship between Inkpath and its commercial suppliers and customers. In working to develop our business, we may also collect publicly available information on individuals working in businesses and business sectors which we have identified as potential future partners. All such data is processed solely for our legitimate business interests. We do not believe that this storage and use will unduly prejudice the rights or freedoms of these individuals.

All users of our website and associated services

We collect, store and use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • to make the sites available to you; and
  • to provide any services that you request.

Sometimes, our use of your personal information is for purposes which are ancillary to the provision of the sites and services, or which are desirable in order to make them to operate more effectively.  In those circumstances, we believe we have a legitimate business interest in handling your personal information, and do not believe that this storage and use of your personal information will unduly prejudice your rights or freedoms.

The relevant circumstances are:

  • detecting and preventing fraud;
  • keeping our websites, apps, products and IT systems secure;
  • ensuring that our own processes, procedures and systems are as efficient as possible;
  • analysing and enhancing the information that we collect; and
  • determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and advertising.

In some, relatively limited, circumstances we may need to handle your personal information in a certain way to be able to comply with our legal obligations – for example: if we are requested to disclose your personal information to regulatory bodies or if we need to demonstrate our compliance with applicable law such as any tax and national insurance legislation relating to the payment of personal service company contractors and immigration law.

Anonymous data

We also collect anonymised details about visitors to our websites for the purposes of generating site statistics, reporting purposes, and improving our website performance and marketing effectiveness.  However, no single individual will be identifiable from the anonymised details we collect for these purposes.

How we might otherwise share your personal information and who we share it with

We will disclose information under the following circumstances:

  • Third-party service providers:

When we share information with third-party service companies for them to facilitate or to provide certain services on our behalf. This will include:

    • Professional advisors (accountants, legal specialists, business advisors);
    • IT support service providers;
    • third-party service providers who track our customers' use of the sites and our services for us.

These companies are individually contracted to use your personal information only as necessary to provide the relevant services to us and are required to maintain full security and confidentiality at all times.

  • Compliance with laws and legal proceedings:

When we respond to court orders, or to a legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

When we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent or take actions against illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of our terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

  • Merger or acquisition:

When we need to transfer information about you if we are acquired by, or merged with, another company.  If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of the relevant assets, you will be notified by email and/or a prominent notice on our sites of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

International transfers

The Inkpath platform systems only store and process data within the European Economic Area (EEA) which means that data you input or upload to the platform is always processed within the EEA. However, if you as a user choose to access your data from outside the EEA then please be aware that you are exporting your data into an environment which we can no longer control from within our platform.

The internal management systems used in the day-to-day running of the company use a range of established international service providers, some of whom may carry out processing outside of the EEA. We ensure through our supplier contracts that if data is exported then it is protected to the standards required by UK legislation. If you would like more details on this, please contact us using [email protected]

These technologies are used in administering the platform and websites, analysing trends, tracking users’ movements around the sites and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.

We use cookies, for example, to remember users’ settings (e.g. cookie preference). Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. You may reject some or all cookies and still use our sites, but your ability to use some features or areas of our sites may be limited.

Security

We employ comprehensive, appropriate, and reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the personal information we process. This includes organisational security (e.g. passwords and access controls), physical security (e.g. data centre protection) and IT security (e.g. encryption).  Please note that no transmission over the Internet can ever be fully guaranteed secure and as a consequence please note that we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that you transfer over the Internet to us.

Data Retention

We retain information (including personal information) for the minimum reasonable time period to allow us to provide our services and will delete it after that time.
