Haatch Privacy Policy

Introduction

The purpose of this policy is to provide you with the required information in relation to the providing us with personal data. The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) governs the controlling and processing of personal data which is essentially information about individuals, and also gives those individuals certain rights in respect to that information.

Please read this notice carefully. By visiting our website or using any of our services, you indicate your agreement to our use of your personal information as set out in this notice.

Information we collect about you

  • We are committed to safeguarding your privacy.
  • This policy applies where we are acting as a data controller with respect to
    your personal data; in other words, where we determine the purposes and
    means of the processing of that personal data. When using our website you
    are agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance
    with the terms of this policy.

Data collected will be processed fairly and lawfully and will only be processed where we comply with Article 6(1) of the GDPR. The law on data protection sets out several different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:

  • Consent: Where you have given consent we can collect and process your data for one or more specific purposes.
  • Contractual obligations: In certain circumstances, we may need to process your personal data to provide the services under our contract with you.
  • Legal compliance: If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.
  • Legitimate interest: In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to our Data Protection Officer Fred Soneya. For more
information about us, see Section 13.
