Doncasters Limited is the “Data Controller” and is committed to protecting the rights of individuals in line with the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (“DPA”) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016 (“GDPR”) (collectively referred to as “Data Legislation”).
Doncasters has appointed a “Group Data Protection Officer” to oversee and manage the protection of personal information across Doncasters. The Group Data Protection Officer can be contacted at GDPRInquiry@doncasters.com.
In general, you can use this site without giving us any personal information. However, on occasion we may collect and process your personal information by obtaining your ‘Consent’ and positive ‘Opt-in’, allowing for the collection and processing (which includes but is not limited to) of the following personal information:
We will not collect or processes any ‘Special Categories’ of personal data (as defined in the Data Legislation) i.e. ‘Sensitive’ personal data relating to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation.
We shall use your personal information to provide you with a better service, and in particular (but not limited to) for the following reasons:
Your personal information will be used for the above purposes by relevant trained staff at Doncasters and by those who support them in their roles. It will also be made available to companies within our group of companies, and to those selected third party service providers whom we engage to help us run our business. This may include (but is not limited to):
Your personal information is provided to selected third party service providers on the strict basis that they do not collect, use or disclose the personal information for any reason whatsoever, other than to perform their services in accordance with the contractual arrangement on our behalf or as otherwise required by law.
Your personal information may also be shared within our group of companies for other limited purposes e.g. to the extent needed for proper management analysis and decision making.
Doncasters may also disclose your personal information:
Other than as set out above, we will not transfer, disclose, sell, distribute or lease your personal information to any third parties unless we have your expressed permission and Consent to do so or are otherwise required or permitted to do so by law.
Any personal information that you may have provided or shared with us via the site, is held and processed in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area.
However, some of the Doncasters group companies and third-party service providers are located outside the United Kingdom and European Economic Area, in countries which do not have or provide the same level of protection as the United Kingdom and European Economic Area. As such, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information transferred outside of the United Kingdom and European Economic Area, will continue be afforded the level of protection (if not higher) required under Data Legislation.
Doncasters may wish to provide you with information about new products, services, promotions and offers, which may be of interest to you and your organisation and we may invite you to take part in market research or request feedback on our products and services. This communication may occur by email, online or by post. Prior to any direct marketing engagement or market research activities, we will obtain your expressed Opt-In and Consent as required under the Data Legislation.
Doncasters will ensure that any direct marketing engagement or market research activities that you receive or are contacted about, will provide a simple means for you to refuse and reject any further marketing. For example, in emails it may provide you with an ‘unsubscribe’ link, or an email address to which you can send an ‘Opt-Out’ request.
Doncasters will stop any marketing to which you object, refuse or reject or in respect of which you withdraw your consent within a reasonable period, in order to allow sufficient time for the change to be administered.
In such cases Doncasters will remove all your private personal information (if applicable) and any commercial information from its database(s), respecting your changed direct marketing preferences.
Under the Data Legislation, you have certain rights in relation to the way we collect, hold, handle, store, retain and process your private personal information. You can find out if we hold any personal information by making a ‘Subject Access Request’ under the Data Legislation, free of charge and can obtain a copy of the personal information we hold and process about you.
You also have other rights in relation to your personal information which you can enforce by a Subject Access Request. Details of which can be found on the UK Information Commissioners Office website.
Should you wish to make a request to exercise your rights, then please contact us at GDPRInquiry@doncasters.com or write to our Group Data Protection Officer at Doncasters Group, Repton House, Bretby Business Park, Ashby Road, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, DE15 OYZ.
We take reasonable measures to ensure that the personal information provided or disclosed to us is kept secure, accurate and up to date at all times and kept/retained and stored only for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which the personal information was collected.
Please note, communications over the internet such as e-mails and web-sites are not secure unless they have been encrypted, thus while we strive to protect such personal information we collect and process, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal information transmitted to us by you. You therefore accept the inherent security implications of dealing online and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security unless such breach has been caused by the specific acts of Doncasters, its affiliates or its agents.
If you are unhappy with the way in which your personal information has been collected and processed, then you may in the first instance contact the Group Data Protection Officer using the contact details above.
If you still remain dissatisfied then you have the right to apply directly to the UK Information Commissioner Office for a decision.
