We, 15486963 Canada Inc. based out of Unit #400, 111 2 Ave S, Saskatoon, SK S7K 1K6, Canada.(“Unlockd” / “Unlockd PR”) understand your concerns over the privacy of Personal Data you may submit through the use of this website or through any other form of contact with our organisation.

This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Data about you that we collect, use and otherwise process.

It provides you with information about what types of information is collected, what tracking takes place, how we use the collected information and with whom we share the information.

The information we collect:

Personal Data is anything which identifies you as an individual, either on its own or by reference to other information. We may collect the following Personal Data from you when you use our website or contact us or engage our services:

Information such as name, address, email address, contact number and payment details which are collected to support the transactions carried out between you and us on or in relation to this website;

Information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation); and

Any other information that you choose to provide to us.

Cookies:

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We use “session” cookies on the website. Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser.

We will use the session cookies to: keep track of you whilst you navigate the website; prevent fraud and increase website security.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google’s privacy policy is available at: https://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.

Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites.

Legal Basis for using Personal Data:

Unlockd will only process Personal Data where we have a legal basis to do so. The legal basis will depend upon the reason we collected and the needs to use the Personal Data. Under UK and EU data protection legislation in almost all cases the legal basis will be because:

  • Processing of the Personal Data is necessary to perform the contract to fulfil your request for services;

  • Processing of the Personal Data is necessary to support the creation of a contract with you as a customer of Unlockd;

  • It is in Unlockd’s legitimate interests as a provider of marketing support services to process the Personal Data to operate and improve our IT and associated services;

  • Unlockd processes the Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation;

You have consented to Unlockd using the Personal Data for a particular purpose

If processing of your Personal Data is subject to any other laws then the basis of processing your data may be different to that set out above and may in those circumstances be based on your consent in all cases.

How we use the Personal Data we collect:

Personal Data submitted to us will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy.

Unlockd will use Personal Data to fulfil our contractual obligations under any IT Service Agreement and associated Service Specific Terms (SSTs). For example, we will process Personal Data such as, name, address, email address, payment details for the purpose of:

  • answering any enquiry you raise;

  • enabling you to register to use our services;

  • billing you for the services you consume;

  • delivering and supporting the services for which you have engaged Unlockd, including notification of service status updates;

  • storing historical data of the faults you raise to enable us to provide technical support services;

  • administering your customer account, and to support other general business activities;

  • validating our licence returns to 3rd party vendors;

As a provider of IT services, we have a legitimate interest to process Personal Data to improve the services we offer and carry out our business. For example, we will process Personal Data such as, name, address, email address, IP address, browsing history, page visits, length of visit for the purpose of:

  • answering any enquiry you raise;

  • sending you marketing communications;

  • administering and enhancing our website;

  • improving your browsing experience by personalising the website;

There are instances where Unlockd is subject to a legal obligation and processes Personal Data to comply with those obligations. For example, we will process Personal Data such as, name, address, for the purpose of:

  • satisfying legal or regulatory requirements, e.g. periodic returns to HMRC;

Alternatively, Unlockd may collect and use Personal Data that you have consented to be processed for a specific purpose. For example, we will process Personal Data such as, name, address, for the purpose of:

  • registering you as a potential candidate for employment with Unlockd;

providing your personal testimony regarding your experiences of dealing with Unlockd

If you opted to receive any communications from us, but subsequently change your mind, you may opt-out at any time by emailing the Head of Compliance (hello@unlockdpr.com) or by writing to the Head of Compliance, Unlockd PR 86-90 Paul Street, Old Street, London EC2A 4NE

While we will restrict the processing of your Personal Data in line with your request, we may add your Personal Data (name and address) to a ‘suppression list’ to ensure we do not send any communications in the future.

How long will we keep the Personal Data:

Unlockd will keep your Personal Data only for a long as we need it for the purpose it is being processed for. For example, if we provide IT services for you we will keep your Personal Data as long as you are an active user of our services, and after that for a period which enables us to handle or respond to any complaints, queries or concerns relating to the service. We will also keep Personal Data as required to comply with any legal obligation.

We will actively review the Personal Data we hold and delete it securely, or in some cases anonymise it, when there is no legal, business, or customer need to retain it.
