Privacy Policy
Last updated: 08 March 2023
Introduction
Ronins (“Ronins”, “we, “our”) are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal data we collect about customers and users of our services (“you/your”).
The purpose of this privacy notice is to explain what personal data we collect about you when you use our website or provide our services to you. When we do this, we are the data controller.
Please read this privacy notice carefully, as it provides important information about how we handle your personal information and your rights.
You should revisit this privacy notice regularly, as we may update this notice (and any supplemental privacy notice) occasionally to reflect how we deliver our services.
If you have any questions about any aspect of this privacy notice, you can contact us using the information provided below or by emailing us at hello@ronins.co.uk
Personal data we collect
We collect, use and are responsible for certain personal data about you. When we do so, we are subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”). The personal data we may collect includes (but is not limited to):
- contact detail information such as your name, phone number, email address, website URL, location (city) and your company name, which we collect when you fill in our Contact form;
- information about your engagement with us online via our cookies and similar technologies, such as your IP address and geographical location;
- any other information you may provide us as part of Ronins’ market research.
For more information about the personal data we collect via cookies and similar technologies, please visit our Cookie Policy.
How your personal data is collected
We collect all personal data directly from you — in person, by telephone, text or email and/or via our website. Purposes for which we use personal data and the legal basis
When providing services to you, we may use your personal data for the following purposes and on the following lawful bases:
| Purpose | Lawful Basis for Processing |
|---|---|
| To provide our services to you | Performance of contract |
| To comply with any legal obligations, we may have | Legal obligation |
| To send you marketing communications about our services or other information relating to our business which we think may be of interest to you by email or similar technology | Consent |
| To improve your browsing experience by personalising your website visit | Our legitimate interest to ensure visitors to our website can easily navigate our website and locate the information they are looking for |
| To contact you when you provide us with market research feedback | Our legitimate interest to ensure our services meet your expectations and remain relevant in the marketplace |
Where personal data is processed because it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, we will be unable to provide our services without the required information.
Sharing your data
For some business activities, we share your personal data with our vendors and third-party service providers, for instance, to provide our e-mail marketing services or for payment processing.
Personal data may also be shared with government authorities and/or law enforcement officials for the prevention or detection of crime if required by law or if required for a legal or contractual claim.
The personal data we collect from you may be processed outside the UK. We have taken appropriate steps to ensure that the personal data processed outside the UK has an essentially equivalent level of protection as it has within the UK. We do this by ensuring that:
- Your personal data is only processed in a country which the UK government has confirmed has an adequate level of protection (an adequacy regulation) or
- We enter into Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with our affiliates and providers and ensure that supplementary measures are applied where necessary.
How long we keep your data
We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to provide you with our services and for a reasonable period thereafter to enable us to meet our contractual and legal obligations and to deal with complaints and claims.
At the end of the retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised, for example, by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.
How we protect your data
We endeavour to process all personal data securely and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data we process from unauthorised disclosure, use, alteration or destruction.
Your rights and options
You have the following rights in respect of your personal data:
- You have the right to access your personal data and request copies of it and information about our processing of it.
- If the personal data we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can ask us to rectify it or add to it.
- Where we are using your personal data with your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
- Where we use your personal data because it is in our legitimate interests, you can object to us using it this way.
- Where we use your personal data for direct marketing, including profiling for direct marketing purposes, you can object to us doing so.
You can ask us to restrict the use of your personal data if:
- It is not accurate.
- It has been used unlawfully, but you do not want us to delete it.
- We do not need it anymore, but you want us to keep it for use in legal claims; or
- If you have already asked us to stop using your data but are waiting to receive a confirmation on whether we can comply with your request.
You can request a machine-readable copy of your personal data to transfer to another service provider.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or exercise any other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your access request is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
If you wish to exercise your rights, please get in touch with us at: hello@ronins.co.uk
You can also lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office. They can be contacted using the information provided at: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/
