GDPR Data and Information Policy

We are extremely transparent about how we hold and use data.

All of this information is gathered from the client in a Onboarding Questionnaire sent to them at the start of the campaign. It is hosted inside various spreadsheets in Google Drive, which the staff working on the campaign have access to.

Elements are also kept inside HubSpot (our CRM), Quickbooks (our accounting software), Asana (our Project Management software), and Slack (our chat software). Their data processing terms and conditions are available on their websites.

  • Name
  • Address (if purchased)
  • Email address
  • Phone number (if provided)
  • Declared business information, including target turnover

This information is collected through:

    • Free resource forms allow people to sign up with their name and email address to receive the digtial product(s) that was advertised
    • Registration forms for our marketing training which includes being added to our email list to receive tips and advice

Data Policy

Extension Team only collects and stores information from clients necessary for us to carry out the marketing work that we are required to carry out. This information is available to the team working on the campaign and other staff in the company who might need it for the purposes of accounting, administration or helping with the marketing work.

We also collect and store information from contacts and leads in order to provide relevant marketing training, advice, and sales recommendations. This information is available to staff across the company.

The information we store about each client or contact is available to that client or contact on request, and we will delete any data when requested by them.

All client or contact information is held only in the designated cloud software applications (Google Drive, Infusionsoft, Gmail, Slack, Asana). Information and data should never be stored locally on staff computers in documents not controlled by these cloud apps, and team members receive training on the importance of not storing data locally.

Risks and Impact Assessment

  • Risk: Staff computer or account hacked, and contact information accessed
    • Impact: client data leaked and shared online. Potentially websites hacked and personal data leaked.
    • Mitigation: where possible, data is stored in cloud services like Google Drive which have login protection and two-step verification when accessed from new locations or IP addresses. Staff required to change all passwords every 3 months.
  • Risk: Staff member leaves and takes personal data with them
    • Impact: client data leaked and shared online. Potentially websites hacked and personal data sold
    • Mitigation: offboarding process which quickly removes access once staff member is terminated.

Training

All staff are trained on the following:

  • Password and account security
  • Data handling (including data storage methods and types of data to never store)
  • Device security

Breach Notification

A data breach can be something which leads to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

If any staff members notice that this has happened they are required to immediately notify their manager. Following notification of a breach, we will:

  • Assess the impact of the breach
  • Notify the relevant parties immediately
  • Investigate the cause of the breach
  • Rectify any security vulnerabilities or processes to minimise the chance of this happening again

Right of Access

If an individual requests access to their personal data, this request is to be immediately passed to the Data Protection Officer who will:

  • Confirm the data being processed
  • Provide full access to their data stored in our various softwares, via email.

We will respond to all such requests within 1 month.

Data Disposal

Individuals have the right to be forgotten and can request that their data is erased. We will erase all records held for that individual/company including:

  • CRM records
  • Campaign documents and files
  • Slack channel

Data Processor Contracts

We have written contracts with our data processors governing the processing of personal data.

  • Personal data must not be stored on your personal devices
  • Passwords must be changed on the three-monthly cycle and at any other time when management requests
  • No data should be collected and retained other than what is necessary to carry out the work that has been requested of us
