Our Lawful Basis For Processing Your Data

SourceCodeStudio has assessed all six grounds for the lawful processing of personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and has selected ‘Legitimate Interest’ as the most suitable lawful ground for the processing of data for the purposes of SourceCodeStudio’s sales and marketing. 

Further information regarding the lawful basis for processing personal data can be found at ico.org.uk

SourceCodeStudio collects, processes and stores data relating to businesses and decision-makers. We believe that the individuals we process the data of, are likely to have an interest in the products and services that SourceCodeStudio provide. Deemed as ‘Legitimate Interest’, this is based upon specific criteria including the business industry sector, size of the organisation as well as the individual’s job function within the organisation. Our typical segmentation includes those within marketing, sales, business development, HR, MD and owner related job functions, although this list is not exhaustive and other variables may apply.

We will only ever collect, process and store the essential information required for making contact with the data subjects within a business environment. The personal data we collect is limited to the first name, last name, email address, social profiles (limited to LinkedIn) as well as business IP address. Other business-related data may also be processed including business name, job function, turnover and business address, however, we will never collect further personal data such as those classed under ‘Sensitive Personal Data’.

The data collected will be used to communicate marketing and sales messages relating to SourceCodeStudio’s products and services, based upon the job function held by the data subject, as well as any industry-related information that we feel the recipient would find useful or helpful in their professional positions. SourceCodeStudio only sends messages to those we believe are likely to be interested in our products and services based upon the organisation they are employed by and based upon their job function within that organisation. Messages from SourceCodeStudio could be delivered via email, social media, via telephone or any other business to business (B2B) marketing methods that may be relevant.

When you send SourceCodeStudio an enquiry or booking form via our website you will be asked to provide your contact details. We will use the data you provide to process your request and may use it to inform you by email, telephone or mail about other SourceCodeStudio products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. It is deemed that as you have visited the SourceCodeStudio website and provided us with your contact information you are legitimately interested in our products and services. You have the right to object from any method of correspondence at any time, using the unsubscribe button on an email, by informing the telephone operator or by contacting us via any of the methods below.

LEGITIMATE INTEREST

It is also deemed that direct marketing and sales are necessary in the context of promoting SourceCodeStudio to professionals in business in order to increase awareness of our solutions.

How We Store And Retain Data

The data held within SourceCodeStudio CRM system is processed and stored in the UK within a secure environment.

SourceCodeStudio is dedicated to ensuring the validity and quality of the data contained within our CRM system ‘- HubSpot’. We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted or anonymised (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

How We Protect Your Data

We have put various measures in place to protect your personal data:

Our entire site is accessed using https rather than http, meaning that all information that is sent and received is encrypted for additional security. You can see this in the address bar of your browser.

Request To Object

On any emails you receive from SourceCodeStudio, there will be the option to ‘unsubscribe’ from receiving any further email correspondence. If you receive a telephone call from us, you have the right to request not to receive any further calls.

Email us at hello@sourcecodestudio.co.uk

Write to us: SourceCodeStudio, Technology House, Western Way, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP33 3SP

All requests will be processed within 30 days. Your record will be updated to ensure that your details cannot be processed by our HubSpot CRM system in the future. Please note this applies only to the processing of your personally identifiable data, not that of the business data which does not fall under the remit of GDPR. Request for deletion It is important to understand the difference between a right to object and a request for deletion. If you make a request for deletion, we will remove any data we hold about you from our CRM system. However, If you are removed from CRM completely, there is a risk that your data may be processed again in the future if your details are re-added to our CRM system by a member of our team who genuinely believes that your business would benefit from our products and services. If you do not wish for us to contact you again, we would recommend you request to object rather than a request for deletion, as this will ensure that your details are always suppressed from processing.

In either case, we will process your request within 30 days.
