We update our policy from time to time, and recommend for you to revisit our website regularly to see the latest copy of our Privacy Policies.

Any changes will come into effect when the updated Privacy Policies are posted to the website. We have created these Privacy Policies to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy and to disclose our information and privacy practices for our website, our software and our services.

3. CONTROL AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We process personal data on behalf of our customers, who use our Service to gather information about an application made to them. However, when we Homeshift, do this we do so as a Data Processor under UK and EU data protection law. This means we do not make independent decisions about how personal information is processed in order to provide the Services to our users and customers. For example, we may store your personal information in our user database, and on our servers, accounting, credit card processing and customer relationship management software in order to record and process your personal data so as to be able to provide you with the Service that you have signed up to, but in providing the Service to you we do not perform any processing activities without your consent or at your request.

How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

  • Internal Third Parties as set out in the Glossary

We are mindful of the importance of upholding the security of information under our control. All data collected through our website that is stored electronically, is stored on secure servers, and we have stringent security and confidentiality procedures covering the storage and disclosure of such information, in accordance with UK and EU data protection law.

We endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect the privacy of your personal information. However, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information you disclose on-line. You accept the inherent security risks of providing information and transacting over the Internet, and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security, unless this is due to our negligence or wilful default.

7. DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. This generally means we will normally keep your personal data while you or your employer have an ongoing relationship with us.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see [Request erasure] below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

8. OTHER WEBSITES

Some websites that have links to and from our website or app from time to time may collect personal information about you when you access or utilise those links. We do not control the collection or use of such information, and the practices of those websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

Some websites that have links to and from our website from time to time may also use their own cookies. We have no access to, or control over these cookies, and you are advised to check the cookie policies on such other websites or to amend your website browser's settings with respect to cookies accordingly.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).

Glossary

LAWFUL BASIS

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us

Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.

THIRD PARTIES

Internal Third Parties

Other companies in the FF Frisbee Group and who are based [SPECIFIC COUNTRIES] and provide [IT and system administration services and undertake leadership reporting].

External Third Parties

Service providers acting as processors based in the EU who provide IT and system administration services.

Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the United Kingdom who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.

HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

10. INDEMNITY

By using our website, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Homeshift from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) that we may become obliged to pay, arising or resulting from your use of our website, the content, or your breach of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use of which they are a part. Homeshift reserves the right to assume or participate, at your expense, in the investigation, settlement and defence of any such action or claim.

HOMESHIFT – HOW WE CONTACT CUSTOMERS AND OTHERS

This page provides information about how we use and share personal data relating to our customer contacts and their representatives.

1. WHAT DO WE USE CUSTOMER PERSONAL DATA FOR?

This section explains the purposes for which we use personal data about our customer contacts and their representatives.

Marketing

We use personal data for marketing purposes. This includes informing you about products and services that we think may be of interest to you and providing you with related materials such as news items and blog posts. We would contact you for marketing purposes by email, telephone or post with your consent and would stop any such communication upon your request. You might also be contacted through any channel for other purposes – for example, as part of our ordinary relationship management activity and as necessary to deliver the Service.

Relationship management

We use personal data for relationship management purposes. Relationship management is the ongoing maintenance of our relationship with our customers. This could include activities such as letting you know about product changes or planned maintenance activity, contacting you with billing enquiries, dealing with your enquiries, or asking you for feedback or about what sorts of products, services you want us to develop.

Providing services

Sometimes we might need to use your personal data to provide you with information, services and facilities that you have asked for. For example, if you ask us for a brochure for one of our products, more information about one of our websites or apps.

Monitoring and improving our websites

We may use information such as how different people navigate around our websites, how long they spend on particular pages, whether they download any of our content (including product brochures, white papers and so on that we publish from time to time) or watch videos in order to help improve the user experience of our websites and your experience of them.

2. WHAT ARE OUR LEGAL GROUNDS FOR HANDLING PERSONAL DATA?

Generally speaking, we rely on your consent to make contact with you by email for marketing purposes. You can withdraw that consent and ask us to delete your information at any time by contacting us directly via hello@homeshift.com – please see section 6 below.

The United Kingdom’s data protection law also allows the use of personal data where the benefits (or “legitimate interests”) of doing so outweigh the possible negative implications for the relevant individuals. These are the grounds on which we usually rely when we use your information for anything other than making contact with you by email for marketing purposes with your consent.

In some circumstances, we may have other grounds to process personal data for example:

  • Necessary for performance of a contract with the relevant individual, or to take steps for entering into a contract. For example, if you sign up to one of our products or services online or download our app, it will often be necessary for us to use your details in order to provide that product or service and you must consent to our use of your details to the extent required to provide that product or service in order to use that product or service.
  • Necessary in order to comply with a legal obligation. For example, some regulators, government bodies and courts have powers to order us to provide personal information and, like any other organisation, we sometimes have to comply with their requests and we whilst we may make commercially reasonable efforts to defend personal information from unjustified regulatory or governmental access, we cannot make any guarantee about the extent to which we are able to do so.

3. WHO DO WE SHARE THE INFORMATION WITH?

Your personal data may be shared between the employees and agents of Homeshift and any of its group companies to allow them to perform their job functions and current or future members of Homeshift’s group companies and their employees and agents.

We also provide your information to third parties who help us use it to deliver the service. For example:

  • We use Amazon Web Services to host our servers.
  • We use analytics providers including Google Analytics, [INSERT OTHERS]
  • We also use the credit card payment processing services provided by [INSERT] for taking subscription and other payments.
  • We may use printing companies to produce and send personalised direct mail.
  • Our database of personal data may be hosted by, but not accessible to, third parties on our behalf.

These service providers will not be allowed to use your information for their own purposes or on behalf of other organisations and we have taken contractual and operational steps to protect any personal data shared for these purposes with third parties.

4. WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE INFORMATION SENT?

We are based in the United Kingdom, and will normally access and use your information from here. However, we also have operations in the Philippines and personal data may be accessed from there too. In both cases, the use of the information in those locations is protected by European data protection standards.

In providing the Service to you, we may transfer your personal data outside of the EU. By using the Service you consent to our doing so. When we do so we ensure that we have adequate contractual and procedural measures in place to protect any such transfers of personal data outside the EU.

5. FOR HOW LONG IS THE INFORMATION RETAINED?

We will normally keep your personal data while you have an ongoing relationship with us or if you have demonstrated an interest in our products and services within the past two years. You can request us to delete it earlier as explained in section 6.

6. WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE IN RESPECT OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE HOLD ABOUT YOU?

You have several different rights in relation to the personal data that we hold about you. These are briefly described below.

Access: You have a right to find out what personal data we hold about you, and certain other information such as how we are using it. From 25 May 2018, you also have a right to receive information in a portable format in certain circumstances.

Rectification: If you believe that the information that we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, you have a right to get it corrected.

Withdrawal of consent / objection: Where we rely on your consent to use your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time. In any other cases, you can let us know that you object to us using your personal data (for example, if you do not want to receive marketing calls from us any more).

Deletion: If you want us to delete your personal data, you can ask us to do so at any time. (However, you may wish us to retain your basic details on a suppression file so that we do not subsequently contact you if we receive your details again in the future.)

Restriction: You can ask us to restrict our use of your personal data in some circumstances, such as while we are verifying whether the information is accurate. While the information is restricted, it can only be used for certain limited purposes such as bringing or defending legal claims, or protecting another person. It cannot be used or shared for ordinary purposes.

If you have any questions about our processing of personal information, or the rights set out in these Privacy Policies and how to exercise them you can write to:

This section sets out the Privacy Policy which applies to the health data we obtain about you in delivering our Service. It explains what security measures we have in place, how we store log-in credentials and what personal information we collect from users of our Service.

1. SECURITY

We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provider our servers. AWS maintain their servers in a highly secure server environment with 24 X 7 monitoring, surveillance and support to prevent unauthorized access and data security. Advanced security measures including firewalls, security guards and surveillance are taken to ensure the continued service and protection of our services from natural disaster, intruders and disruptive events.

2. PASSWORDS AND LOGIN CREDENTIALS

Your passwords and other login credentials may pass through Homeshift servers or those of its service provider partners, in particular our server provider which is Amazon Web Services. When you enter this confidential information, it goes straight to the secure website.

Neither Homeshift’s employees nor any of its contractors or service provider partners can obtain or access your passwords or other login credentials entered by you. We will also never ask you for your passwords or other login credentials via mail, email or telephone or in any other unsolicited manner and you should not give them out to someone claiming to be from Homeshift who is asking for them.

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Our Service collects, encrypts and securely transfers confidential, personal information. By accessing the Service and entering information required from time to time to complete a form on our website or in our Service customers consent to Homeshift providing this information to service provider partners, such as Amazon Web Services or our analytics or payment processing partners. We may store this confidential information, for so long as you are actively involved with Homeshift and then for a period of 2 years after you have ceased to use our Services.

We collect and log aggregate user statistics and website traffic. Such information includes traffic statistics, date and time of visits, device and browser type used to access the service, frequency of visits, etc. We use this information to improve the services delivered to our customers, to track and diagnose software performance problems and to administer our website. We may disclose such aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to prospective partners, investors, affiliates and other third parties for lawful purposes.

Other than as required by your service provider and agreed by you or as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, at no time will Homeshift disclose identifiable personal information to any third parties without your express, written consent unless we are compelled or required to do so by law.
