Privacy Policy
Who Are We?
sfG Software Ltd of The Green House, Beechwood Business Park, Inverness, IV2 3BL (SC369985) is the data controller for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA”) and the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The data controller may be contacted at dataprotection@sfgsoftware.com. If we process your data as a data processor, our contract with you will specify the basis on which we process your data and how we safeguard your data.
How Will We Use Your Information?
We may process your data so that we can provide IT Support and/or software development services to you, maintain our accounts and records, and manage our own employees.
We will only process data in accordance with applicable legislation including DPA and GDPR. We will not share your data with any person, firm or organisation without your consent or unless we are legally compelled to do so.
Why Are We Using This Information?
We are using your data because we have a contract with you and processing your data is necessary in order for us to fulfil our contractual obligations to you.
Where Is Your Information Stored?
We are based in the UK and our data is stored within the UK. However, some organisations which provide services to us may transfer personal data outside of the EEA, but we’ll only allow them to do so if your data is adequately protected.
For example, some of our systems use Microsoft products, and using Microsoft products may result in your data being transferred to or accessible from the USA. Also, our email newsletter is administered through MailChimp, and MailChimp will store some of your information, including your email address, IP address and certain information about the links you click within the emails we send you, on a server within the USA. However, we will allow this as we are confident that your data will still be adequately protected. (Both Microsoft and Mailchimp are certified under the USA’s Privacy Shield scheme. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Frameworks, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.
What Are Your Rights?
You, as a ‘data subject’, have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy, please email us at dataprotection@sfgsoftware.com.
We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate. You are also entitled to request that processing of your personal data is restricted. You are entitled to object to processing of your personal data and you have the right to data portability. Such requests or objections should be made to sfG Software Ltd.
How Long Do We Keep Your Data?
Your personal data will be held by sfG Software Ltd for no longer than is required in order for us to fulfil our contract with you and to provide good quality support. The exact duration may vary depending on the nature of our contract, and will almost certainly extend beyond the period of the contract, so that we are able to answer your questions after the end of the contract. We may archive backup data for longer periods, in accordance with best-practice. We will, of course, delete all data held if you specifically request this.
How To Complain
If you are unhappy with the manner in which your data has been processed, you may wish to make contact with sfG Software Ltd in the first instance. You do however have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office should you wish to do so.
