In connection with the registration for and provision of access to an event or seminar, we may ask for information about your health for the purpose of identifying and being considerate of any disabilities or special dietary requirements you may have.

  4. Are you required to provide personal data?
    As a general principle, you will provide us with your personal data entirely voluntarily; there are generally no detrimental effects for you if you choose not to consent or to provide personal data. However, there are circumstances in which Cambridge Van Man cannot take action without certain of your personal data, for example because this personal data is required to provide you with services, process your requests or deal with queries or complaints connected with our services or provide you with access to web portals or newsletters. In these cases, it will unfortunately not be possible for us to provide you with what you request without the relevant personal data and we will notify you accordingly.

  5. For which purposes will we use your personal data?
    We may use your personal data for the following purposes (“Permitted Purposes”):
    • Providing services you may have requested, including on-line services as requested by you or your business;
    • Managing and administering your or your business’s relationship with Cambridge Van Man, including processing payments, accounting, auditing, billing and collection, support services;
    • Compliance with our legal obligations (such as record keeping obligations), compliance screening or recording obligations (e.g. for anti-money laundering, financial and credit check and fraud and crime prevention and detection purposes), which may include automated checks of your contact data or other information you provide about your identity and contacting you to confirm your identity;
    • To analyse and improve our services and communications to you;
    • Protecting the security of and managing access to our waste facilities, premises, plant, vehicles and equipment, IT and communication systems, online platforms, websites and other systems, preventing and detecting security threats, fraud or other criminal or malicious activities;

      Where you have expressly given us your consent, we may process your personal data also for the following purposes:
    • Communicating with you through the channels you have approved to keep you up to date on industry developments, announcements, and other information about Cambridge Van Man and the services Cambridge Van Man provides, (including newsletters and other information) as well as any Cambridge Van Man events and projects; or
    • Customer surveys, marketing campaigns, market analysis, sweepstakes, contests or other promotional activities or events; or
    • Collecting information about your preferences to create a user profile to personalise and foster the quality of our communication and interaction with you (for example, by way of newsletter tracking or website analytics).

      With regard to marketing-related communication, we will – where legally required – only provide you with such information after you have opted in and provide you the opportunity to opt out anytime if you do not want to receive further marketing-related communication from us. We will not use your personal data for taking any automated decisions affecting you or creating profiles other than described above.

  6. What is the legal basis that permits us to use your personal data?
    Depending on which of the above Permitted Purposes we use your personal data for, we may process your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds:
    • Because processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or your business;
    • To comply with our legal obligations (e.g. to keep records for tax purposes); or
    • Because processing is necessary for purposes of our legitimate interest or those of any third party recipients that receive your personal data, provided that such interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

      In addition, the processing may be based on your consent where you have expressly given that to us.

  7. With whom will we share your personal data?
    We may share your personal data in the following circumstances:
    • We may share your personal data between Cambridge Van Man entities on a confidential basis where required for the purpose of providing services and for administrative, billing and other business purposes.
    • If we have collected your personal data in the course of providing services to your business, we may disclose it to that business or others in that business, and where permitted by law to others for the purpose of providing those services;
    • We may disclose your contact details on a confidential basis to third parties for the purposes of collecting your feedback on the Cambridge Van Man’s services, to help us measure our performance and to improve and promote our services;
    • We may share your personal data with companies providing services for money laundering checks, credit risk reduction and other fraud and crime prevention and detection purposes and companies providing similar services, including financial institutions, credit reference agencies and regulatory bodies with whom such personal data is shared.  Credit reference agencies used by us may share your personal data with other organisations for the purposes of credit risk assessment.  To read more about this visit http://www.experian.co.uk/crain/index.html which explains how Experian will use your personal data and it provides useful links to the other main credit reference agencies in the UK;

Cambridge Van Man will retain control over and will remain fully responsible for your personal data and will use appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law to ensure the integrity and security of your personal data when engaging such service providers;
    • We may also use aggregated personal data and statistics for the purpose of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop our website and our services.

      Otherwise, we will only disclose your personal data when you direct us or give us permission, when we are required by applicable law or regulations or judicial or official request to do so, or as required to investigate actual or suspected fraudulent or criminal activities.

  8. Personal data about other people which you provide to us
    If you provide personal data to us about someone else (such as one of your directors or employees, or someone with whom you have business dealings) you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that personal data to us and that, without our taking any further steps, we may collect, use and disclose that personal data as described in this Privacy Statement. In particular, you must ensure the individual concerned is aware of the various matters detailed in this Privacy Statement, as those matters relate to that individual, including our identity, how to contact us, our purposes of collection, our personal data disclosure practices (including disclosure to overseas recipients), the individual’s right to obtain access to the personal data and make complaints about the handling of the personal data, and the consequences if the personal data is not provided (such as our inability to provide services).

  9. Keeping personal data about you secure
    We will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your personal data confidential and secure in accordance with our internal procedures covering the storage, disclosure of and access to personal data. Personal data may be kept on our personal data technology systems, those of our contractors or in paper files.

  10. Transferring your personal data abroad
    Cambridge Van Man provides services to its customers exclusively in the United Kingdom. However we may transfer your personal data abroad if required for the Permitted Purposes as described above. This may include countries which do not provide the same level of protection as the laws within the European Economic Area. We will ensure that any such international transfers are made subject to appropriate or suitable safeguards as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679. This includes entering into the EU Standard Contractual Clauses which are available here.

    When doing so we will comply with applicable data protection requirements and take appropriate safeguards to ensure the security and integrity of your personal data.

  11. Updating personal data about you

    We will not be responsible for any losses arising from any inaccurate, inauthentic, deficient or incomplete Personal Data that you provide to us.

  12. For how long do we keep your personal data
    Your personal data will be deleted when it is no longer reasonably required for the Permitted Purposes or you withdraw your consent (where applicable) and we are not legally required or otherwise permitted to continue storing such data. We will, in particular, retain your personal data where required for Cambridge Van Man to assert or defend against legal claims until the end of the relevant retention period or until the claims in question have been settled.

You may also make a complaint if you have a concern about our handling of your personal data.

    If you wish to do any of the above please send an email to info@cambridgevanman.co.uk We may request that you prove your identity by providing us with a copy of a valid means of identification in order for us to comply with our security obligations and to prevent unauthorised disclosure of data.
