Why we collect it?

We collect information about you so that we can personalise the interactions that we have with you.

Adept Field Solutions Ltd may contact you about its services if you choose to sign up to receive notifications or marketing information from us. You have the right at any time to opt out of Adept Field Solutions Ltd contacting you in this way.

Adept may also contact you to enable you to participate in a market research/ opinion surveys/ interactions and interviews. This is necessary for our legitimate interests: to study how customers use our client’s products/services, to help develop them and grow our business.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, and we will only use your personal data when law allows us to. We do not sell data.

What are the legal bases we use for processing your information?

The GDPR requires us to rely on one or more lawful bases to use your personal information. We consider the bases listed below to be relevant:

  • Where you have provided your consentfor us to use your personal information in a certain way (for example, we will ask for your consent to send you material by email, and we may ask for your explicit consent to collect special categories of your personal information).
  • Where necessary so that we can comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, where we are obliged to share your personal information with regulatory bodies which govern our work and services).
  • Where there is a legitimate interest in us doing so if it is reasonably necessary to achieve our or others’ legitimate interests (as long as that processing is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact your rights).

 “Legitimate Interests” means our interests in conducting and managing our business.  For example, we have an interest in making sure our market research invitations are relevant for you, so we may process your information to send you information that is tailored to your interests

Your contact information.

Disclosures:

We share your personal data within the Adept Field Solutions group of businesses (namely: Adept Field Solutions Ltd, Adept Field Solutions Inc and Adept Field Solutions Holdings Ltd.) We may disclose information about you to any of our employees, officers, agents, suppliers or sub-contractors insofar as is reasonably necessary for carrying out the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all our group companies to follow the same rules when processing your personal data

This may include allowing our suppliers and sub-contractors access to your personal information where we have “outsourced” functions, for example, transcribing of interviews. However, any use by such suppliers or sub-contractors will be strictly limited and conducted in accordance with our instructions.

Security:
Keeping information about you secure is very important to us and Adept Field Solutions Ltd has implemented the required technical and organisational security measures to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.

We generally store and process your information within the European Economic Area (EEA). Where we need to transfer your information outside of the European Economic Area we only do so to countries which have been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection, or where we have your explicit consent to do so.

For example, Adept Field Solutions Ltd will store all the personal information that you provide on secure (password- and firewall-protected) servers.  However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. As a result, whilst we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information which you send to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Accessing and updating your personal information:

The length of time we hold your personal information varies depending upon the type of information and its use.  To determine the appropriate retention period we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data and the potential risk of harm.

We will hold your personal information on our systems only for as long as necessary to provide the services and/or products that you have requested, or for such other essential purposes such as investigating disciplinary matters, complying with  our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.

Details of our data retention policy are available on request, but we will retain your personal data for a minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 7 years. In some cases it is not possible for us to specify in advance the periods for which your personal data will be retained. In such cases, we will determine the period of retention based on the above criteria.

We will always let you have a copy of personal information we have about you, should you request it, and you may correct or remove it if you wish. Instructions about how to do this are available from: info@adeptfield.com

We must keep your personal data accurate and up to date. If you become aware of any errors or inaccuracies please let Adept Field Solutions Ltd know by contacting: info@adeptfield.com

These include your rights to request that we:

  • confirm to you what personal information we may hold about you, if any, and for what purposes
  • change the consent which you have provided to us in relation to your personal information
  • correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information which we may hold about you
