    Introduction

    This privacy notice aims to inform you about how we collect and process any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us. It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that could not. In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information. It tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

    We are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. Our policy is not just an exercise in complying with the law, but a continuation of our respect for you and your personal information.

    We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide to us, and hope that you reciprocate.

    Our policy complies with the Data Protection Act 2018 (Act) accordingly incorporating the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

    The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regards to the processing and control of your personal data. We do this now, by requesting that you read the information provided at http://www.knowyourprivacyrights.org. Also refer to heading ‘Your Data Protection Rights below’ for further information.

    Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website.

    If you have any questions about this privacy notice, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact hr@oktra.co.uk.

     

    2. Data we process

    We collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you. We have collated these into groups as follows:

    Your identity includes information such as first name, last name, title.

    Your contact information includes information such as office address, work email address, work telephone numbers and any other information you have given to us for the purpose of communication or meeting.

    Technical data includes you internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.

    We may aggregate anonymous data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Anonymous data is data that does not identify you as an individual. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal information in law because it does not reveal your identity.

    For example, we may aggregate profile data to assess interest in a product or service.
    However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information so that it can identify you in any way, we treat the combined data as personal information, and it will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

     

    3. If you do not provide personal information we need

    Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform that contract. In that case, we may have to stop providing a service to you. If so, we will notify you of this at the time.

     

    The bases on which we process information about you

    The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.

    If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant then we shall immediately stop processing your data.

    If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.

     

    4. Information we process because we have a contractual obligation with you

    When you purchase a service from us, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.

    In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal information.

    We may use it in order to:

    • verify your identity for security purposes
    • sell products to you
    • provide you with our services
    • provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services and how to obtain the most from using our website

    We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.

    We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

     

    5. Information we process with your consent

    Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as by asking you to agree to our use of cookies when you browse our website you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.

    If you have given us explicit permission to do so, we may from time to time pass your name and contact information to selected associates whom we consider may provide services or products you would find useful.

    We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent, or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

    You have the right to withdraw your consent and may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us info@oktra.co.uk.

     

    6. Information we process for the purposes of legitimate interests

    We may process information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to us, of doing so.

    Where we process your information on this basis, we do after having given careful consideration to:

    • identifying the legitimate interest, and considering factors such as why we want to process the data, the importance of the benefits and whether the same objective could be achieved through other means
    • whether the processing is necessary and will actually help further the legitimate interest, or whether there is another less intrusive way to achieve the same result
    • whether the individual’s interests override the legitimate interest, giving careful consideration to whether you would expect us and consider it reasonable for us to process your data in this way.

    For example,, we may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:

    • record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration
    • responding to unsolicited communication from you to which we believe you would expect a response
    • protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party
    • insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage operational risk
    • protecting your interests where we believe we have a duty to do so

     

    7. Information we process because we have a legal obligation

    Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.

    For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.

    This may include your personal information.

     

    Specific uses of information you provide to us

    8. Disclosure and sharing of your information

    Our website allows you to download content and submit your personal details. We sometimes pass on your details to third party suppliers who may contact you to assist with your workplace requirement.

    The information we pass on includes:

    • Name
    • Work email
    • Office address
    • Work telephone number

    We do store it. You can make a request to delete your personal by contacting us at info@oktra.co.uk.

    10. Retention of your personal information

    We do store it. You can make a request to delete your personal by contacting us at info@oktra.co.uk.

     

    11. Job application and employment

    If you send us information in connection with a job application, we may keep it for up to five years in case we decide to contact you at a later date.

    If we employ you, we collect information about you and your work from time to time throughout the period of your employment. This information will be used only for purposes directly relevant to your employment. After your employment has ended, we will keep your file for six years before destroying or deleting it.

     

    12. Communicating with us

    When you contact us, whether by telephone, through our website or by e-mail, we collect the data you have given to us in order to reply with the information you need.

    We keep personally identifiable information you have provided us associated with your message, such as your name and email address so as to be able to track our communications with you to provide a high quality service.

     

    13. Complaining

    When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us.

    We use that information to resolve your complaint.

    If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give information, and if we do, what that information is.

    We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.
