Brass Labs ("we", "us") takes your privacy seriously. This policy sets out how we use and protect your personal data when you visit our website.

As the data controller, we are responsible for your personal data.

What is personal data?

Personal data is any information about a person which identifies them.

What type of personal data do we collect?

We collect:

• Identity information, e.g. your name.

We do not collect financial or sensitive data, or data relating to children.

How do we collect your personal data?

We collect this data when you contact us through our website, for example by using our contact form, or when you send us correspondence.

How and why do we use your personal data?

In accordance with data protection law, we can only use your personal data if we have a legal basis for doing so.

We use personal data for the following reasons:

• So that we can respond to your enquiry and communicate with you about our services. Our legal basis for doing so is our legitimate interests, and for the performance of any contract we have with you, or to take steps before entering into a contract with you.
• To help us ensure that the website is operating effectively. Our legal basis for doing so is our legitimate interests.

Marketing

We will send you promotional communications if you have requested information from us, unless you have opted out of receiving marketing.

You can opt out at any time by following the opt-out links within any promotional material sent to you, or by contacting us directly.

If you opt out of receiving promotional communications, you will still receive essential communications relating to any services we are providing you.

Do we share personal data?

We only share personal data with trusted third-party service providers where necessary to operate this website and respond to your enquiries, for example our website hosting and content management providers.

We will get your express consent before we share your data with any third party for their own marketing purposes.

Where we share your personal data, we only do this where we are satisfied that the third party will take appropriate steps to protect your data and its use is limited to acting on our instructions.

We may need to share your personal data with legal and regulatory bodies if this is necessary for us to comply with the law or any applicable regulations.

International transfers

We do not transfer your personal data outside of the UK.

Cookies

We do not use any tracking, analytics or advertising cookies on this website.

Do we use third party links on our website?

Yes, the website may include links to third party websites or content. We have no control over these, so you should read the privacy policy of any third party site you visit.

Is the personal data secure?

We take the security of your data seriously and have put in place appropriate measures to protect it.

We limit access to your personal data to only those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who need to know for business purposes, and they are subject to robust confidentiality obligations.

How long is the personal data kept for?

We only keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, typically for the duration of our correspondence with you and a reasonable period afterwards for our business records, or until you withdraw your consent (where this is our legal basis for processing).
