4. Who does HiTeam pass my data on to?

In certain cases, we are legally obliged to pass on your anonymised data if requested to do so by a state body. We do not pass on your data to third parties for any other purpose, unless you have given express permission for us to do so.

5. Where is my data stored?

The data that we collect from you is stored in a cloud based proprietary CRM system and on secure personal computers. It may be transferred to other members of the HiTeam team by email.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

6. What data is recorded, how is it used and how long is it stored?

We collect and store personal and company data collected from business cards, lead sheets and other communications with you.

We use information held about you in the following ways:

• To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.

• To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.

• To notify you about changes to our service.

If you do not want us to use your data in this way please email [email protected].

Unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, we will only hold your data for the length of time necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, for a period of five years after final contact with you or until you request that the data be deleted. Even if we delete your data, it may persist on backup or archival media for legal, tax or regulatory purposes.
