Principles of Processing Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information that can directly or indirectly identify you. According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), 'personal data' means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

Data Collection and Use

In order to conduct our business, we need to collect and use certain types of information (Personal Data) about individuals we interact with.

Information Provided by You

You may provide personal data to us in the following situations:

  • When requesting or purchasing products or services;
  • When contacting us by phone, email, mail, fax, or in person;
  • When corresponding with one of our staff or another site user through our website.

Please help us keep your information up to date by notifying us of any changes to your contact details, as we respect your right to have inaccurate personal data corrected and your right to have incomplete personal data completed. Also, please note that you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten"). To exercise this right, please contact us at the following address: hello@Target Digitalsoftware.co.uk

We believe and accept that individuals' rights must be protected when processing personal data, which means that all personal data must be collected and processed lawfully and fairly.

Therefore, we assume and accept that personal data must:

  • Be processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently with respect to the data subject ('lawfulness, fairness, and transparency');
  • Be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes ('purpose limitation');
  • Be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed ('data minimization');
  • Be accurate and kept up to date; reasonable steps must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which it is processed, is erased, or rectified ('accuracy');
  • Be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed ('storage limitation');
  • Be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures ('integrity and confidentiality').

Legality of Processing

We must ensure that there is at least one lawful basis for processing personal data (collecting, using, managing, or disclosing) to make the processing appropriate. According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), these lawful bases may include:

  • The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
  • Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
  • Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, in particular if the data subject is a child.

Please note that in some cases, prior consent may not be required; as per Article 6(1) of the EU Regulation 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation).

If it is necessary for the processing of your Personal Data to take place on a server located in a country different from the country where you reside, we accept your consent for this. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from the data protection laws in your own country.

Nevertheless, we have taken all necessary measures to ensure that your Personal Data continues to be protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These measures include using the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission, which require companies transferring Personal Data to provide an equivalent level of protection as required by the EU Data Protection Law and other applicable laws.
