This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant to you (we call this marketing). You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing. You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us.

Change of Purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Disclosure of your Personal Information

We do not and will not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We only forward your personal data to third parties; (i) in cases specified in this privacy notice, (ii) in accordance with the agreement concluded with you or your employer, and (iii) in the cases specified below:

  • To third parties that process your personal data on our behalf (e.g., hosting partners)

We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Access to your Personal Information

You have the right to request access to any personal data we may hold about you. To apply for a ‘Subject Access Request’, an individual must:

  • Make the request in writing to: Sales Director, Miniclipper Logistics, Clipper House, Billington Road, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 0AG
  • Supply information to prove who they are to eliminate the risk of unauthorised disclosure
  • Supply appropriate information to help us locate the required information In addition, you have the right to:
  • 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 your fundamental 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.
  • 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, request the transfer of personal data in a portable format (note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided your consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you).

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. All data subject requests must be made in writing. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one calendar month either by email or letter (whichever is most appropriate). If data has been deleted, erased or is otherwise irretrievable, you will also be informed of this. Occasionally it may take us longer than a calendar month if your request is particularly complex or you have may a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Security of your Personal Information

We strictly protect the security of your personal information and honour choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Your personal information is never shared outside the company without your permission, except under conditions explained above. Inside the company, data is stored on secure servers that are housed in controlled environments to protect against loss, misuse or alteration of your information. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

International Transfers

All countries in the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes the UK, have similar standards of legal protection for your personal information. We do not transfer your personal data outside the EEA.

Data Retention

We will only store your personal data for as long as is necessary for fulfilling the purpose for which the data was collected and for meeting legal, regulatory and/or internal requirements. 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.

Data Deletion

After the retention period, personal data will be hard erased unless (i) the data is subject to a data subject requestor (ii) the data must be retained in order for us to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
