Prism 339 Privacy Policy

Prism 339 Limited respects your privacy and is committed to maintaining processes aimed at protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the personal data we collect and process. The purpose of our Privacy Notice is to describe our data privacy practices. This Privacy Notice describes the ways we may collect, use, store, transfer, disclose, secure and otherwise process information from and about you.

For the purposes of this Privacy Notice, the term "visitor" describes visitors to our website and may include both those who are and those who are not current customers of our products or services, as well as those who interact with us through other means, including other online services (e.g., e-mail, chat), by phone, text messages, by written correspondence or in person. You can choose not to provide certain information when using our websites or interacting with us, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our website features or otherwise transact with us.

SCOPE – Processing personal data on behalf of our business and in the provision of our services

When we process personal data belonging to our visitors, employees of our customers or prospective customers, suppliers and job applicants, we do so as a "data controller".

  • When you first register an email address to access Prism 339
  • To provide status updates on your requests
This notice applies to personal data that we process as a controller.

Further to the services we supply to our customers we process personal data of our customers' clients on behalf of our customers. We do this as a "data processor".

If we are processing your personal data further to a data processing agreement which we have with a customer it is the customer's obligation to notify you, the data subject, about their personal data handling practices at the time that data is collected.

(One of the services we may offer to our customers is called "Open Banking". Further to this service a data subject may identify our role in the processing of their personal data. If you are such a data subject contact us if you do not know on what basis we are processing your data and we will provide you with the relevant customer's contact details.)

Not in Scope. This Notice does not apply to the personal data that we collect and process about Prism 339 Limited employees and personnel. It does apply to job applicants and candidates.

We work in compliance with the UK GDPR and only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so.

We may also make certain information (like aggregated browsing data) available to third parties in support of our marketing, advertising, and campaign management.

Where the personal information is provided to enable such a third party to provide services to us, the third party has agreed in writing to use at least the same level of privacy protections described in this Privacy Notice and is permitted to use the information only for the purpose of providing services to us.

All transfers of personal information to third parties will be done in a manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations, as well as our internal information security policy and this privacy policy.

If you are in breach of an agreement with us or if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, such as a lawful request from public authorities in regard to law enforcement or national security requirements, we may disclose your information to a relevant authority or legal advisers.

In particular, we may release the information we collect to third parties when we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our legal rights, protect the rights and safety of others, or assist with industry efforts to control fraud, spam or other undesirable conduct.

If we are contemplating or decide to transfer part or the whole of our assets to another organisation, your information may be among the items transferred. We will ensure that in such a situation the buyer or transferee will have to honour the commitments we have made in this Privacy Notice.

We do not transfer your personal data outside of the EU. In certain situations some of our sub-processors reserve the right to transfer personal data outside of the EU and in such an event we are party to the legal contractual protections required by the UK government.

7. OPTING OUT OF MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

Where Prism 339 Limited is relying on your consent as its lawful basis to process your personal data we will always provide you with an option to notify us that your consent is withdrawn. For example, we will give you an opportunity to choose to opt out of receiving future marketing mailings. We will not use your contact information to promote our services if you ask us not to. Please send such a request to compliance@prism339.com or write to us at Prism 339 Limited, Privacy Department, Shenton House, 3 Oxford Court, Manchester, M2 3WQ. Please note that it may take up to ten working days from our acknowledgement of the receipt of your request to remove your contact information from our marketing communications lists, so you may receive correspondence from us for a short time after you make your request.

8. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

Prism 339 Limited aims to safeguard and protect your personal data from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification or, unlawful destruction or accidental loss. Prism 339 Limited utilises and maintains certain reasonable processes, systems, and technologies to do so. However, you acknowledge that no transmission over the Internet is completely secure or error-free and that these processes, systems, and technologies utilised and maintained by Prism 339 Limited may be subject to compromise. Accordingly, Prism 339 Limited cannot be held responsible for unauthorised or unintended access that is beyond our control.

9. DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

Further to the UK GDPR, you (a data subject) have the right to:

Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you. You also have the right to request confirmation and information about the personal information we hold about you.

Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you completed or corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request the erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no reason recognised by law for us to continue to process it.

Object to processing of your personal information (including profiling) where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party), as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.

Request restriction on processing your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend or restrict the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios:

  • If you want us to establish the accuracy of the information,
  • Our use of the information is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
  • You need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it, as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • You have objected to our use of your information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party (portability right). We will provide you, or a third party you have chosen, with your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. (Note that this right only applies to information processed by automated means, which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.)

Withdraw consent at any time when we rely only on consent to process your personal information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent or where we are relying on another lawful basis for such processing. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with certain products or Services. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Updates and accuracy of your information

If you believe that any personal information we have about you is incorrect, or is, has been, or might be used inappropriately or you would like to exercise one of the above mentioned rights please contact us at compliance@prism339.com and we will take steps to correct or delete the information, or restrict its use, as appropriate. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority.

10. CHILDREN'S PERSONAL DATA

Our services are not designed for or directed to children under the age of 16, and we will not intentionally collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 16.
