Our promise not share your information

We will not share your information with any third parties for the purposes of direct marketing.

We use data processors who are third parties who provide elements of services for us.

The ICO defines a “processor” as: “data processor”, in relation to personal data, means any person (other than an employee of the data controller) who processes the data on behalf of the data controller.

“Processing”, in relation to information or data means obtaining, recording or holding the information or data or carrying out any operation or set of operations on the information or data, including:

Organisation, adaptation or alteration of the information or data,
Retrieval, consultation or use of the information or data,
Disclosure of the information or data by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, or
Alignment, combination, blocking, erasure or destruction of the information or data

Don’t worry, this isn’t as onerous as it sounds, but it covers the fact that we store your data in a database, which members of the Purpose Disruptor team may access to email you.

We have contracts in place with our data processors. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal information with any organisation apart from us. They will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct.

Where we contract with third parties for the processing of your data, these may be located outside the EU (in the USA). When this is the case, we ensure the contracts we have in place with those third parties meet the requirements of the GDPR.

In some circumstances we are legally obliged to share information. For example, under a court order (where we have considered we have a lawful basis on which to share the information and document our decision making).

Your right to complain

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact us at hello@purposedisuptors.org in the first instance and we’ll respond as soon as we are able.

If you remain dissatisfied, you can make a complaint about the way we process your personal information to the ICO as the UK supervisory authority. Please follow this link to see how to do that.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We keep our privacy policy under regular review to make sure it is up to date and accurate.
