GDPR

Beaumont People welcomes the GDPR as an important step forward in streamlining data protection globally. We intend to comply with the data handling regime laid out in the GDPR in respect of any personal information of data subjects in the UK and EU that we may obtain.


GDPR rights

The requirements of the GDPR are broadly similar to those set out in the Privacy Act and include the following rights:

You are entitled to request details of the information that we hold about you and how we process it. For UK and EU residents, we will provide this information for no fee;

You may also have a right to:

have that information rectified or deleted;

restrict our processing of that information;

stop unauthorised transfers of your personal information to a third party;

in some circumstances, have that information transferred to another organisation; and

lodge a complaint in relation to our processing of your personal information with a local supervisory authority; and

Where we rely upon your consent as our legal basis for collecting and processing your data, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

If you object to the processing of your personal information, or if you have provided your consent to processing and you later choose to withdraw it, we will respect that choice in accordance with our legal obligations. However, please be aware that:

Such objection or withdrawal of consent could mean that we are unable to provide our services to you, and could unduly prevent us from legitimately providing our services to other customers/clients subject to appropriate confidentiality protections; and

Even after you have chosen to withdraw your consent, we may be able to continue to keep and process your personal information to the extent required or otherwise permitted by law, in particular:

to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact on your rights, freedoms or interests; and

in exercising and defending our legal rights and meeting our legal and regulatory obligations.

Storage and processing by third parties

Data that we collect about you may be stored or otherwise processed by third party services with data centres based outside the UK and EU, such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Apple, etc and online relationship management tools. We consider that the collection and such processing of this information is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected (eg, to analyse how our customers/clients use our services, develop our services and grow our business) and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.


The Company requires that all third parties that act as “data processors” for us provide sufficient guarantees and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure your data, only process personal data for specified purposes and have committed themselves to confidentiality including by the use of EU standard Contractual clauses where applicable.

Duration of retention of your data

We will only keep your data for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. At the end of any retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised (for example, by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning). In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data.

Gaining access to information we hold about you

You can gain access to the personal information we hold about you by written request. We will provide you with access to your personal information if you are entitled to access it and will provide you with a suitable means of accessing it within a reasonable time. There may be situations where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold for legal reasons. We will let you know if this is the case and why. We will require sufficient information to confirm your identity before we can provide access. We may seek payment for our costs of supplying you with this information if the costs of providing it are disproportionately high.
