The legal basis we rely on to process personal information

In order to comply with data protection legislation, we need to keep a register of the full range of personal information that we hold and on this register we also must state the legal basis which allows us to hold this information. The law on information protection sets out a number of different bases on which an organisation may collect and process your personal information, including:

Consent

In specific situations, we can collect and process your information with your explicit consent.

Performance of a contract

In certain circumstances, we need your personal information in order to perform a contract that we have entered into with you.

Legal Obligation

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your information.  We may also need to pass your information onto a third party if required by law.

Legitimate interest

In specific situations, we require your information to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and delivering our services.

Who has access to your information?

Within Mint Tea Boutique, access is only available to those who need this information in order to provide a service to you or to fulfil the contract that we have with you. Access may be required by external providers such an ICT provider and/or Finance as well as those involved in the direct delivery of services to you.

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf

We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to ICT support providers). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be assured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond Mint Tea Boutique unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law.

How long do we keep your information for?

We will only keep your information for as long as we need to or for as long as we are legally required to.

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.

How you can access and update your information

The accuracy of your information is important to us. If any of your information that we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please notify us.

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information that (Insert Business) Wellbeing hold about you. This is known as a Subject Access Request and we have 30 calendar days to comply with such a request. There is no charge.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any confidential and sensitive information is securely filed and we apply software to our ICT to prevent unauthorised access to your information. We have appropriate procedures in place for data security and management of records. All of our staff are trained in data protection and GDPR.
