4. Legal Basis for Processing Your Information (UK GDPR)
We will only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on include:

  • Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract (e.g., providing our marketing services, processing payments).

  • Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (e.g., improving our services, marketing activities, fraud prevention, website analytics). We ensure a careful balance between your rights and our legitimate interests.

  • Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., sending you marketing emails). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

  • Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (e.g., maintaining records for tax purposes).

5. Sharing Your Information
We may share your personal information with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processing, website hosting, data analytics, email delivery, and customer support. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

  • Clients: When you provide images or other content for marketing campaigns, this content will be shared with the relevant client for whom the campaign is being run, and subsequently published on public platforms (e.g., social media, websites) as part of the agreed-upon services.

  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights or property, or ensure the safety of our users or the public.

  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

  • With Your Consent: We may share your information with other third parties when we have your explicit consent to do so.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
6. International Data Transfers
As a UK-based company, we primarily store and process data within the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, some of our third-party service providers may operate outside the UK/EEA. When we transfer your personal data outside the UK/EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate safeguards, such as:

  • Transferring data to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK government or the European Commission.

  • Using specific contracts approved for use in the UK/EEA which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK/EEA (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).

7. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from accidental loss, unauthorised access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

  • Encryption: Using encryption for data in transit and at rest where appropriate.

  • Access Controls: Restricting access to personal data to authorised personnel only.

  • Regular Audits: Conducting regular security assessments and vulnerability scans.

  • Employee Training: Ensuring our staff are trained on data protection best practices.

Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
8. Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
9. Your Data Protection Rights (UK GDPR)
Under UK GDPR, you have certain rights regarding your personal data. These include:

  • The Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

  • The Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request that we delete your personal data under certain circumstances (e.g., if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected).

  • The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain conditions (e.g., if you contest the accuracy of the data).

  • The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organisation, or directly to you, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, under certain conditions.

  • The Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, particularly where we are relying on legitimate interests as our legal basis, or for direct marketing purposes.

  • Rights in Relation to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

  • The Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 16. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).
