Hawke’s Point Privacy Notice

The Information We Collect and How We Use It

“Personal data” means any information about an identified or identifiable living individuals.  It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).  We may collect various types of information from users of this website.  For example, knowing how users use our website — tracking their movement through this website — helps us improve website design and usefulness.  As a result, Hawke’s Point’s server may collect general data pertaining to users, including the length of time spent on this website, the pages accessed while visiting the website and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.  Hawke’s Point generally does not, however, collect any personal data such as names, home addresses or e-mail addresses from users of this website.

To the extent that you provide us with any personal data through or in connection with this website, we may use such information for Hawke’s Point’s legitimate interests (such as to study how users use our website to then develop our services and grow our business), but will not disclose any personal data about you to anyone, except as permitted or required by law or regulation and to service providers.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information and data via the Internet is not completely secure.  Although we make an effort to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any information or data transmitted to or through our website; any transmission of information or data by you to or through this website is at your sole risk.

Capacity

You represent to Hawke’s Point that you have the authority to visit this website according to the Terms of Use.  This website is only intended for individuals who are at least 18 years of age.  We do not knowingly encourage or solicit visitors to this website who are under the age of 18 or knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18 without parental consent.  If we learn we have collected or received personal data from an individual under the age of 18, we will delete that information.

Protection of Personal Data

The security of your personal data is important to us.  We employ technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect any personal data you provide through this website from unauthorised access or use.  You should be aware, however, that “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet, and there is always the risk that unauthorised persons may access or use your personal data.  You use this website and send us such information at your own risk.

International Transfers

We may transfer personal data outside of the UK and/or European Economic Area, including to countries in respect of which the UK Government or European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision.  This means that such countries are not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data.  If such transfers take place, they will be in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including through the use of standard contractual clauses that have been approved by the UK Government, European Commission or other relevant authorities, or where we are entitled to rely on one of the other safeguards permitted by applicable law.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK or EEA.

Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.  We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

Notification of Changes

We reserve the right to amend this Website Privacy Notice from time to time and for any reason, in our sole discretion, without notice, by updating this Website Privacy Notice.  Any changes we may make to this Website Privacy Notice in the future will be posted on this website.

Your Rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, and there are a number of ways you can control the way in which and what information we store and process about you.

Access: You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal data that we hold about you free of charge; however, we may charge a “reasonable fee,” if we think that your request is excessive, to help us cover the costs of locating the information you have requested.

Correction: You may notify us of changes to your personal data if it is inaccurate or it needs to be updated.

Deletion: If you think that we should not be holding or processing your personal data anymore, you may request that we delete it.  Please note that this may not always be possible due to legal obligations.

Restrictions on use: You may request that we stop processing your personal data (other than storing it), if: (i) you contest the accuracy of it (until the accuracy is verified); (ii) you believe the processing is against the law; (iii) you believe that we no longer need your data for the purposes for which it was collected, but you still need your data to establish or defend a legal claim; or (iv) you object to the processing, and we are verifying whether our legitimate grounds to process your personal data, override your own rights.

Object: You have the right to object to processing, including: (i) for direct marketing; (ii) for research or statistical purposes; or (iii) where processing is based on legitimate interests.

Portability: If you wish to transfer your personal data to another organisation (and certain conditions are satisfied), you may ask us to do so, and we will send it directly if we have the technical means.

Withdrawal of consent: If you previously gave us your consent (by a clear affirmative action) to allow us to process your personal data for a particular purpose, but you no longer wish to consent to us doing so, you can contact us to let us know that you withdraw that consent.

Lodge a complaint: You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority, which in the UK is the Information Commissioner’s Office (contact details are available at: https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/).  We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to deal with your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority, and so ask you to please contact us in the first instance.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).  This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.  We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the details above.
