  • Carry out any work requested

  • If applicable, to send you relevant information about the industry or services provided. We will only contact you in this case when permission is given to do so.

 

We will never share this information with any third party organisation unless it is necessary to carry out work requested, and in this case we will gain your permission first.

 

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

(a) Your consent. You are able to remove your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting caroline@whiteheartcomms.com, or in the case of any email marketing sent to you, you will have the option to unsubscribe at any time.

Your information is securely stored.

We keep your personal information for the period of which it is required to carry out your work, plus one year after work has ceased unless you contact us and specifically ask for it to be removed. Personal information is stored on a password protected computer and access is only by Caroline Thompson of White Heart Comms.

Information such as name, email address and phone number that was provided when contacting us by email or through the contact form on the website will be kept in a password protected email account.

When information help on a computer or in an email account is no longer required we will then dispose of it through deletion.
