Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Privacy and electronic marketing

Electronic mail
This policy covers electronic mail marketing applying to any message that consists of text, voice, sound or images, eg email, voicemail, SMS and messaging apps.
We do not carry out any marketing by electronic mail to individuals. Our business model is purely business to business or business to organisation.

Email marketing to organisations
If we send marketing to organisations, we must include the name of our business in the email and provide a valid address where opt-out requests can be sent. If however we have an email address which is ‘personal data’, for example name.surname@company.co.uk, the individual employees of that organisation still have the right to prevent that email address being used for direct marketing, and will be provided with an opt out option.

Telephone marketing
We do not make unsolicited calls to organisations or businesses who have told us they do not want our calls. To comply with PECR we screen the list of numbers we intend to call against the TPS and CTPS register.

Contact information
Our data protection officer is responsible for overseeing what we do with your information and monitoring our compliance with data protection laws. If you have comments or any questions about our your personal data or our Privacy Policy please contact a.childers@beyondprocurement.azurewebsites.net
