PA20.uk Privacy Policy

Introduction

We are committed to safeguarding and preserving the privacy of our website visitors. This policy explains what happens to any personal details we are provided with whilst visitors are using our website. It also explains how we utilise cookies.

PA20 Web Solutions is the controller responsible for your personal data. We have appointed a Data Protection Lead who is responsible for overseeing questions relating to this privacy policy. Should you have any questions relating to this policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact us by email or post using the details at the foot of this page and state that your query is for the attention of the Data Protection Lead.

You have the right to make a complaint regarding our use of your personal data by contacting the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) who are the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (ico.org.uk) - we would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before a formal approach is made to the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)(Regulation (EU) 2016/679) defines "personal information" and "sensitive personal information" and we have assessed our processes and procedures to ensure that we comply with the Regulation.

  • We do not collect or process "sensitive" personal information
  • We collect and process other personal information subject to GDPR but only if you ask us to provide you with access credentials ("membership") in order to post or manage listings for businesses or other organisations on our website, or if you temporarily subscribe to one of our notification services
  • As a general website visitor we do not collect personal information from you
  • Any information supplied by you before you become a member will only be used for the purposes of providing you with further information as requested by you
  • We do not share your personal information with third parties except where you ask us to, for example by using our contact forms and then this will be limited only to the information you optionally provide
  • The information supplied to PA20.uk when requesting membership is stored by us indefinitely but will be permanently deleted if you decide you no longer wish to be a member
  • All information collected by PA20.uk is stored on computer servers located in the UK, and backed up with encryption to computer servers located in Ireland

Information That We Collect

We don't believe in collecting more personal information other than that which is absolutely necessary. In the normal running of our website we may collect and process the following personal information:

  • information provided voluntarily by you - typically constituting:
    • a contact name
    • a contact email address
    • an optional contact telephone number

The lawful basis on which we collect and store your personal information at this stage is consent. When you request membership credentials or ask us to contact a company on your behalf we will highlight this Privacy Policy before you submit your details.

Third-Party Links

Our website includes links to third party websites. In the main, these are clearly marked with the following symbol: or appear as small thumbnail images of the target website landing page. Clicking on such links may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control those third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy controls. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the Privacy Policy of every website that you visit.

Sharing of your Information

We use the information that we collect from you to be able to provide our services to you. We do not share personal information with third parties.

Disclosing your Information

We will not disclose the personal information supplied by you to any third party except in accordance with this Privacy Policy and in the following limited circumstances:

  • in the event that we sell any or all of our business, in which case your details may be passed on to the buyer
  • where we are legally obligated to disclose it

Access to Information

You have the right to request details of the personal information that we hold about you. You can request this at any time by writing to the email or physical addresses at the foot of this page. Please allow 5 working days from receipt for your request to be actioned. Please be reminded that the information we hold is limited to that identified earlier in this document.

No fee is usually charged for access to your personal data (or to exercise any of your other legal rights), however we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

Responses will be provided by email, so you must include a valid email address for contact with your request.

Retention of Information

We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

Opting Out / "Right To Be Forgotten"

You have a "right to be forgotten". This means that you can ask us at any time to erase all personal information that we hold about you.

If you do this whilst holding a current membership, for example to manage a listing on our website, you will lose the ability to manage said listing(s) and we may, at our discretion, choose to remove the listing.

Our use of Cookies

"Cookies" are tiny text files that are stored on your computer or device when visiting websites. They are used, for example, to remember options that you have taken to save re-entering data multiple times. Cookies do not contain any personal information and are automatically removed after a period of time.

"First Party Cookies" are those placed by the operator of the website you are visiting at the time. PA20.uk uses first party cookies purely for your convenience, to remember preferences that you have set to save you having to repeat tasks.

As we serve occasional advertisements supplied by Google, third-party cookies will be placed on your device to improve reporting on campaign performance, and to avoid showing ads that the user has already seen. These cookies contain no personally identifiable information.
