4. How and why we use your personal information

We only use personal information where we have an appropriate lawful basis.

Enquiries and business communications

We use your information to:

  • respond to enquiries;
  • understand your requirements;
  • prepare quotations and proposals;
  • communicate about potential projects, products or services; and
  • maintain records of our communications.

Our lawful basis will normally be our legitimate interests in operating and developing our business or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Customers and projects

We may use personal information to:

  • manage customer relationships;
  • administer contracts and purchase orders;
  • plan and deliver engineering projects;
  • provide support and after-sales services;
  • arrange site visits, meetings and deliveries;
  • manage invoicing and payment;
  • maintain quality and project records; and
  • meet contractual requirements.

Our lawful bases may include performance of a contract, taking steps before entering into a contract, our legitimate interests in operating our business, and compliance with legal obligations.

Where our customer is a company rather than an individual, we may process the contact details of its employees and representatives on the basis of our legitimate interests in managing our relationship with that organisation.

Suppliers and business partners

We use personal information relating to suppliers and partners to:

  • obtain quotations;
  • place and administer purchase orders;
  • manage supplier performance;
  • communicate regarding technical or commercial requirements;
  • manage quality and compliance obligations; and
  • maintain appropriate business records.

This processing is generally based on our contractual requirements, legal obligations and legitimate interests in managing our supply chain and business operations.

  • assess your application;
  • communicate with you;
  • conduct interviews;
  • verify information relevant to your application;
  • obtain references where appropriate; and
  • administer the recruitment process.

The lawful basis will generally be taking steps at your request before entering into an employment contract, compliance with applicable legal obligations and our legitimate interests in recruiting suitable employees.

Where recruitment involves special category information, we will only process it where an appropriate additional condition under data protection law applies.

Website operation and security

We may use technical information to:

  • operate our website;
  • maintain the security of our website and IT systems;
  • diagnose technical problems;
  • prevent misuse and malicious activity; and
  • understand general website performance.

Depending on the technology involved, our lawful basis may be our legitimate interests in maintaining a secure and effective website, or your consent where required.

The separate requirements applying to cookies and similar technologies are explained later in this notice.

Marketing and business development

We may use business contact information to communicate with existing or prospective business customers about TBG Solutions, our capabilities, services or relevant business developments where permitted by law.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on legitimate interests or consent.

You have the right to object to direct marketing at any time.

Where consent is required, you may withdraw it at any time.

We will not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Legal, regulatory and compliance requirements

We may process information where necessary to:

  • comply with legal or regulatory obligations;
  • maintain financial, tax and corporate records;
  • comply with quality, security or industry requirements;
  • establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
  • prevent or investigate fraud or misuse; and
  • protect our employees, customers, systems and business.

Our lawful bases may include compliance with a legal obligation and our legitimate interests in protecting and managing our business.

5. Our legitimate interests

Where we rely on legitimate interests, those interests may include:

  • operating and managing our business;
  • responding to business enquiries;
  • maintaining relationships with customers, suppliers and partners;
  • developing our products and services;
  • promoting our business to relevant business contacts;
  • maintaining accurate business records;
  • protecting our systems, premises, employees and information;
  • preventing fraud and misuse;
  • maintaining website and network security; and
  • establishing, exercising or defending legal rights.

Where required, we consider whether our interests are overridden by the rights and interests of the individuals concerned.

6. Who we share personal information with

We may share personal information where necessary with organisations that provide services to us, including:

  • IT and cloud service providers;

  • certification, accreditation, regulatory or government bodies where required; and
  • law enforcement or other authorities where disclosure is required by law.

Where another organisation processes personal information on our behalf, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the information is protected.

We do not sell personal information.

7. International transfers

Some of the organisations providing IT, cloud, website or other services to us may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism and safeguards are in place as required by UK data protection law.

These may include:

  • transfers to countries recognised by the UK as providing an adequate level of data protection;
  • use of approved contractual safeguards; or
  • another lawful transfer mechanism provided by UK data protection legislation.

You may contact us if you would like further information about the safeguards relevant to your information.

8. How long we keep personal information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to meet legal, contractual, quality, regulatory, security and record-keeping requirements.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the circumstances.

In determining retention periods, we consider:

  • the purpose for which the information is held;
  • applicable legal requirements;
  • contractual obligations;
  • relevant limitation periods;
  • customer and industry requirements;
  • quality and traceability requirements; and
  • whether the information remains necessary for legitimate business purposes.

When personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our retention arrangements.

9. Information security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against:

  • unauthorised access;
  • accidental loss;
  • unlawful disclosure;
  • alteration;
  • destruction; and
  • other forms of unlawful processing.

Access to personal information is restricted according to business need, and our information systems and processes are subject to appropriate security controls.

However, no internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and users should take appropriate care when providing information online.

10. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis for processing, you may have rights including the right to:

  • access personal information we hold about you;
  • correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information;
  • request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances;
  • restrict processing in certain circumstances;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests;
  • object to direct marketing at any time;
  • receive certain information in a portable format where the right to data portability applies;
  • withdraw consent where we rely on consent; and
  • raise a concern about how we use your information.

These rights are not absolute and exemptions may apply.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact:

Email: info@tbg-solutions.com

We may need to ask for information to confirm your identity before responding to a request.

There will normally be no charge for exercising your rights, although data protection law permits charges or refusal in certain limited circumstances.

You also have the right to complain to the UK supervisory authority:

12. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and may use other technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.

A cookie is a small data file that a website stores on your computer, tablet, smartphone or other device.

Cookies may be used to:

  • enable essential website functionality;
  • maintain security;
  • remember settings or preferences;
  • measure website usage and performance;
  • understand how visitors interact with the website; and
  • enable third-party content or services.

The rules applying to cookies also apply to certain similar technologies, including pixels, scripts, tags, local storage and other technologies that access or store information on a user’s device.

13. Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies and technologies are required for the website to operate or to provide a service that you have requested.

They may include technologies used for:

  • website security;
  • network management;
  • basic website functions;
  • remembering privacy or cookie preferences; and
  • delivering functionality specifically requested by you.

Where an applicable legal exemption applies, your consent is not required for these technologies.

Analytics cookies

Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use our website, for example:

  • which pages are visited;
  • how visitors arrive at the website;
  • how long visitors spend on particular pages;
  • website performance; and
  • general usage patterns.

Where consent is required, analytics technologies will not be activated until you have chosen to accept them.

Functional cookies

Functional technologies may be used to provide enhanced website functionality or to remember choices that are not strictly necessary to provide the service.

Where consent is required, these technologies will not be activated until you choose to accept them.

Marketing and third-party cookies

Marketing or third-party technologies may be used by services integrated into our website and may be capable of tracking activity across websites or services.

Where consent is required, these technologies will not be activated until you choose to accept them.

14. Third-party services

Some pages may contain services or content supplied by third parties, for example:

  • embedded maps;
  • video or media services;
  • analytics services;
  • social media functionality; or
  • other externally hosted content.

These services may use cookies or similar technologies.

Where those technologies require consent, they should only be loaded after you have given the relevant permission through our cookie preference tool.

Third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices.

15. Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit our website, you will be given choices about non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

You can:

  • accept non-essential cookies;

  • select the categories you wish to allow.

Non-essential technologies that require consent will remain disabled unless you choose to enable them.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time using the Cookie Settings facility available on our website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Strictly necessary technologies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference tool because they are required for the website or a service you have requested to function.

16. Current cookies

The cookies and similar technologies currently used by our website, together with information including their provider, purpose and duration, are displayed within our Cookie Settings facility.

Because website technologies and third-party services can change, this provides the current information about the technologies operating on the website.
