This Privacy Policy, together with our Terms of Use and any other documents referred to in it, sets out the basis on which any personal data which we may collect about you, or that you may provide to us, will be processed.

For the purposes of applicable data protection and privacy laws, the company is the data controller. For further information about this, please contact us using the details below.

This Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we may use and manage it and the rights you have in relation to your personal data. Before you provide us with any personal data or browse our Website, you should read through this Privacy Policy in full and make sure that you are comfortable with our privacy practices.

  • individuals who contact us by any means.
How we collect your personal data

We obtain personal data which you knowingly and voluntarily disclose to us, both online and offline, notably when you:

  • visit our Website;
  • visit our premises; or
  • communicate with us via any means, including but not limited to telephone, email and through the use of social networking websites, third party apps or similar technologies.

We may also collect information from third party sources, for example information relating to your use of other websites which we operate and from related third parties including, but not limited to, agents and sub-contractors.

Information we may collect from you

The company may collect a range of personal data from you in a business context, including but not limited to your name, gender, job title, photographic identification, email address, home address and other contact details, details of your business and other interests, communications with you (including notes from meetings) and financial and payment information.

When you use our site at www.axendo.co (“Website”), we collect certain standard information that is sent by your browser to the Website, based on such things as your IP address, browser type, operating system, language, time zone setting, access times and any referring website addresses.

If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence or conversation.

We may also record details of your visits to the Website.

Where we process sensitive personal data we will ensure we are permitted to do so under applicable data protection laws, for example where we have your consent or the processing is necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

Where we store your personal data

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored in, a country other than your own and that country may provide a lower level of data protection requirements than your own country. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this potential transfer to a country other than your own.

Whenever we transfer personal data across borders, we will take legally required steps to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data and to make sure that it is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you are located in the EEA or the UK, you may request a copy of the safeguards which we have put in place to protect your personal data and privacy rights in these circumstances by sending your request to info@axendo.co.

You acknowledge and understand that the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your personal data once we have received it, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Website. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Uses made of the information

We collect and/or use personal data about you for the following reasons.

  • To ensure that content from the Website is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer, including carrying out analytics in relation to the use of the Website.
  • To provide you with information that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.
  • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
  • To communicate with you and third party contacts.
  • To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, which may include the disclosure of certain information and/or recordings of telephone conversations to regulatory authorities.
  • For other business-related purposes, including negotiating contracts, managing accounts and records, supporting corporate social responsibility activities, legal, regulatory and internal investigations and debt administration.
The legal basis for the company processing your personal data

In accordance with the purposes for which we collect and use your personal data, as set out above, the legal basis for the company processing your personal data will typically be one of the following:

  • your consent;
  • the performance of a contract that we have in place with you or other individuals;
  • the Company’s or our third parties’ legitimate business interests; or
  • compliance with our legal obligations.
Disclosure of your Information

The company may share your personal data with people within the organisation who have a “need to know” that data for business or legal reasons, for example in order to carry out an administrative function such as processing an invoice, or to direct a query that you have submitted to the relevant department within the company.

We may disclose your personal data to one or more third party entities. These entities are required to maintain the confidentiality of your data and are restricted from using it for any purpose other than the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose your personal data to third parties including the authorities, the company’s advisors, suppliers of IT services and third parties engaged by the company for the purpose of:

  • providing services requested by you;
  • to protect any intellectual property rights in any materials displayed on or otherwise available from the company’s Website;
  • for the purposes of seeking legal or other professional advice;
  • to respond to a legal request or comply with a legal obligation; and
  • to enforce our Website Terms of Use.

We may also disclose your personal data to third parties:

  • in the event that we sell, merge or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
  • if the company or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be transferred; or
  • in the event that we are required to do so to comply with our regulatory obligations to regulatory authorities.

Also, we may share non-personal data with other third parties. When we do so we may aggregate or de-identify the information so that a third party would not be likely to link data to you, your computer, or your device. Aggregation means that we combine the non-personal data of numerous people together so that the data does not relate to any one person. De-identify means that we attempt to remove or change certain pieces of information that might be used to link data to a particular person.

Records retention

Your personal data is not kept for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is collected. This means that data and records are destroyed or erased from our systems when no longer required. The amount of time that records are kept varies depending upon the type of personal data they contain. We retain your personal data in accordance with our internal retention policies.

Your Rights – Marketing and Third Party Websites

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. Where required by law, we will inform you (before or at the time of collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to ‘opt-out’ from receiving marketing communications at any time by contacting us at info@axendo.co. If required by law, we will obtain your consent before sending you marketing communications.

The Website may, from time to time, contain links to the websites of third parties. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

  • Access: the right to be provided with a copy of your personal data.
  • Rectification: The right to require us to correct any mistakes in your personal data.
  • Erasure (the right to be forgotten): The right to require us to delete your personal data – in certain situations.
  • Restriction of processing: The right to require us to restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example if you contest the accuracy of the data.
  • Data portability: The right to receive the personal data you provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or transmit that data to a third party – in certain situations.
  • Objection: the right to object at any time to your personal data being processed for direct marketing (including profiling) and in certain other situations to our continued processing of your personal data.
  • Not to be subject to automated decision making: The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

If you wish to exercise any of the above-mentioned rights, please submit your request to info@axendo.co.
