2        Management Responsibility

2.1       The Managing Director has overall responsibility for our privacy and data protection compliance. The HR Manager is responsible for the application of our privacy and data protection arrangements, and is responsible for monitoring the privacy and data protection (‘PDP’) record keeping system; ensuring our day-to-day work practices conform to the high standards we expect; and for reporting to the Managing Director the standards maintained regarding our information governance.

3        Information we collect and what we do with it

3.1       We collect a wide variety of personal information from a wide range of sources in order to run our business activities. We maintain a register of data collection activities and perform periodic reviews of our data collection activities and processes in order to test that they conform to our expectations.  We aim to only collect information that is necessary for us to perform our business operations efficiently and effectively.  We periodically review our data collection arrangements.

3.2       We aim to provide any person whose information we are collecting with sufficient information so that they know who is collecting their information and what we intend to do with it.  If this information is not obvious from the data capture mechanism, we may choose to provide this information in the form of a Privacy Statement or Fair Processing Notice on or linked to a data capture form.

3.3       Below are listed some of the data sources we use, the nature of the data we collect and the reasons why we collect and process it.

3.4       Customer Data.  In order to provide the services that we are engaged to provide by our customers, we collect, store and use personal information disclosed to us via Logic’s websites, telephone conversations, and premises. The data that we collect for these purposes includes names and addresses, contact information such as phone numbers and email addresses we do not retain financial information such as credit/debit card information. We also use this information to undertake marketing activities such as building a profile of our customers. We do not share any of this data with any other organisations.

3.5       Financial Information.  We use your financial information to process payments for products and services that are purchased from us and for fraud detection and prevention.  We maintain an appropriate accreditation under the PCIDSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) in order to apply high standards of information governance for financial information that we process.

3.6       Employee Data.  As an employer we collect and process information about applicants for jobs and details about the people that we employ.  In the case of some of our employees we collect medical information and location data.

Other Data Collection

3.7       We use ‘cookies’ on our web sites that allow us to recognise returning system users and customise their experience. Cookies can collect and use data. Please see section 14 below for full details of the type of cookies we use, why and how we obtain your consent to use them.

3.9       We occasionally operate a policy of call recording of both inbound and outbound calls to allow us to monitor and review calls for training purposes and for the purpose of handling customer complaints.

3.10    We employ third parties to provide some services including IT and websites. We expect the providers of such services to share with us any information that they collect while operating such services to allow us to build up a picture of the products and services that each customer buys.

3.11    We use the entire collected data set to analyse customer behaviour to help us to improve our products and services, to build a profile for each customer, and to predict customer interest/behaviour.

4        Fair and Lawful Processing

4.1       Our policy is to process personal information in a fair, transparent and lawful manner.

4.2       In general, we aim to only process personal information with the consent of the data subject.  In most cases people will complete a data collection form and submit it to us.  We aim to provide sufficient information regarding how we will use the data at the point data is collected to allow the person who is completing the form to make an informed choice whether or not to give us their personal information.

4.3       In exceptional circumstances we may process personal information without the consent of the data subject and will rely on the exemptions set out in the Data Protection Act 1998 (‘the Act’) that allow for this or on our legitimate interests to process personal information as a business.  In the latter case we would always seek to consider our interests with the rights of individuals in order to make a balanced judgement whether to process personal information without the consent of a data subject.

5       Data Accuracy and Updates

5.1       It is our policy to expect those who provide us with their personal information to keep us informed of any changes to the information that we may hold about them.  If data subjects bring inaccuracies to our attention we will apply corrections to the data that we hold about them.

6
       Data Enrichment

6.1       On occasions we attempt to enrich the data that we have collected through our own activities with information from other sources to help us to more accurately profile our customers and prospects.

7     Electronic Marketing

7.1    We maintain a computer-based preference centre system to manage the contact preferences of our customers in order to satisfy our obligations under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2011.  We operate several customer touch points and the preference centre is designed to maintain a set of master preferences for email, telephone, and mail marketing.

7.2    Where you have given your consent, we will use the information you provide to send you information and offers relating to Logic.

7.3    Each data collection activity will normally contain a mechanism for customers to opt out of Logic contacting them with marketing information. Customers may change their preferences by contacting us at via the contact details at section 27 below.

8     Data Retention

8.1    We maintain a Data Retention Policy in which our retention periods are defined – in general we retain personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and/or in order to comply with our legal obligations. Once personal information passes its retention deadline it is deleted and destroyed in accordance with our Data Destruction Policy.

9     Information Rights
