CDT is a Sumitomo Chemical Group Company. CDT is the Data Controller in respect of your Personal Data. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use Personal Data about you.
- What personal data we collect and how we will use it
- We collect Personal Data so that we can operate effectively and provide you with the best possible service. The Personal Data that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and with our website. It also depends on the choices that you make, for example the website functions that you use and your privacy settings. You may choose not to provide certain Personal Data but, if you do, and that Personal Data is necessary to provide a particular feature or service, you may not be able to use that feature.
- Regardless of how you choose to interact with us, we will only use your Personal Data where we have a valid lawful basis to do so.
- Please note that any unsolicited Personal Data which you disclose to CDT by way of either email or other form of electronic document will be automatically stored on CDT’s IT system and will form part of CDT’s automated archives. It is your responsibility to ensure that you only share with us those items of Personal Data which you intend to share with us.
- The table below summarises the Personal Data that we collect about you, explains how we intend to use it and sets out our legal basis for such use.
- Change of purpose
- We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it or for another reason which is compatible with the original purpose. Please note that we may process your Personal Data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law including, pursuant to a search warrant, subpoena, or court order.
- Sharing your information
- We may share your Personal Data with selected third party service providers and other companies within our group that support us in the performance of the activities set out in the table above. This sharing of Personal Data will be with your consent where indicated. Alternatively, we may share your Personal Data with third parties where required by law or where it is necessary in order to provide you with services or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so that is not overridden by your interests and fundamental rights; for example, to protect our customers or to operate and to maintain the security or our computer systems.
- We may transfer your Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) including to our group companies in Japan, the USA and other jurisdictions in connection with our operations and/or as necessary for the performance of any contract that we may have with you. CDT employees may also access Personal Data from outside the EEA using our IT systems. If we do so, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Data receives an adequate level of protection and is treated in a way that is consistent with EU and UK laws on data protection.
- We may also share your Personal Data with other third parties, for example with service providers (such as payment services providers, credit reference agencies, IT solution providers and any of our suppliers and sub-contractors who process data on our behalf in order to assist us with our business activities) or in the context of the possible sale or restructuring of the business. We may also need to share your Personal Data with a regulator or otherwise to comply with the law.
- We require all our third party service providers and all other companies within our group to take appropriate and stringent security measures to protect your Personal Data in line with our policies. We do not allow our third party service providers to use your Personal Data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Data for specified purposes in accordance with our instructions.
- Storing your personal data
- CDT routinely processes and stores the Personal Data that it holds within the United Kingdom.
- Some of our third party service providers may host or otherwise process Personal Data on CDT’s behalf either inside or outside the EEA. In addition to the controls in relation to sharing your Personal Data (please see above), we will ensure that any such Personal Data sharing is either: (i) to a country for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision confirming that the country offers an appropriate level of Personal Data protection; or (ii) is otherwise subject to appropriate controls such as a Model Clauses Agreement.
- We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting obligations. For example, we may, for legal reasons, need to retain some of your Personal Data for 6 years after the end of our contractual relationship with you.
- Chilren’s information
- We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 16. If you become aware that your child or any child under your care has provided us with information without your consent please contact us at dataprotection@cdtltd.co.uk.
- Keeping your information secure
- All Personal Data that you provide to us is stored on secure servers.
- The transmission of Personal Data via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of the Personal Data transmitted to our site and you acknowledge that any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your Personal Data, we will use appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access or inadvertent disclosure.
- Your rights
- As a Data Subject, you have the legal right to:
- Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a ‘Data Subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. We will need to verify your identity before we release any Personal Data to you.
- Request correction or erasure of your Personal Data (unless we have the legal right to retain it). This right also applied where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). Please keep us advised of any changes to your Personal Data by emailing dataprotection@cdtltd.co.uk so that we can ensure that our records are up to date.
- Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which entitles you to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.
- Request the restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of Personal Data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
- Request the transfer of your Personal Data to another party.
- Change your data processing consents and preferences at any time.
- You should be aware that if you ask us to stop processing your Personal Data in a certain way or to erase your Personal Data, and processing that Personal Data is necessary in order for us to provide services to you, we may be unable to continue to provide those services. Similarly, your preferences and choices in relation to our website may mean that some or all of the website functionality becomes unavailable to you. This does not affect your right to object to direct marketing, which can be exercised at any time without restriction.
- If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your Personal Data, object to the processing of your Personal Data or request that we transfer a copy of your Personal Data to another party, please contact us at dataprotection@cdtltd.co.uk.
- You will not normally have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
- We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
- In the limited circumstances where our collection, processing and transfer of your Personal Data is based upon consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us at dataprotection@cdtltd.co.uk. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your Personal Data collected on that basis, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.
- As a Data Subject, you have the legal right to:
- Your responsibilities
- You remain responsible for the Personal Data that you make available to us and for the consequences of the same. You must not provide Personal Data to CDT in breach of any obligations to any third party relating to privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property or trade secrets unless you have obtained the explicit written consent of that third party to share that Personal Data with CDT for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.
- Other websites
- Our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices and performance of any such websites.
- This Privacy Notice only applies to this website. When you link to other websites, you should read their own privacy policies.
- How to contact us and complaints
- If for any reason you are not happy with the way that we have handled your Personal Data, please contact us at dataprotection@cdtltd.co.uk detailing your concerns, any actions you wish us take and allowing us a reasonable period in which to investigate and to respond to you. If you are still unhappy with our response, you have the right to make a make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office see: https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/.
