In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information. It tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. Our policy is not just an exercise in complying with the law, but a continuation of our respect for you and your personal information.
We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide to us and hope that you reciprocate.
Our policy complies with the Data Protection Act 2018 (Act) to the extent that it relates to processing of personal data and privacy and all applicable Data Protection Legislation about the processing of personal data and privacy.
The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regard to the processing and control of your personal data. We do this now, by requesting that you read the information provided at http://www.knowyourprivacyrights.org
Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website or application software.
We have appointed a data protection officer (DPO) who is responsible for ensuring that our policy is followed.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, our data protection officer can be contacted at privacy@infographics.co.uk
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you. We have collated these into groups as follows:
Special personal information is data about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. It also includes information about criminal convictions and offences. We do not collect any special personal information about you.
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform that contract. In that case, we may have to stop providing a service to you. If so, we will notify you of this at the time.
The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category. If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant then we shall immediately stop processing your data. If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information. Infographics may hold your personal information for the permitted purposes stated and for as long as is necessary for these purposes. Infographics uses industry procedures to keep personal data as safe and secure as possible and to protect against loss, unauthorised disclosure, or access.
When an individual creates an account on our website, buys a product or service from us, or otherwise agrees to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.

When an organisation purchases a licence to use Infographics’ business software, Infographics may periodically gain access to Personal Data and operational data controlled by that organisation (the “Licensee”) during its use of the licenced business software. Data Subjects who could be identified during Infographics access to a Licensee’s Data may include the organisation’s staff (including volunteers, agents, and temporary workers), suppliers, members of the public and any other named individual who may interact with the organisation during its operational activities.
