Your privacy and the security of your personal data is important to us. This policy sets out how we handle your personal data.

We are Anthropics Technology Limited, based at 128 The Causeway, Gloucester, England, GL2 4LH.

Your rights

Your privacy is protected by law. We are only allowed to use personal data if we have a lawful reason to do so. We must have one or more of the following reasons:

  • When we have a legal duty.
  • To fulfil a contract with you.
  • When it is in our legitimate interests, the data processing is necessary to achieve those interests and our interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
  • With your consent.

You have various rights in relation to our use of your data:

  • You have the right to ask us to correct personal data we hold about you.
  • In many cases, you have the right to ask us to delete data held about you.
  • In cases where we are relying on your consent to process data, you have the right to withdraw your consent.
  • Where we are relying on our legitimate interests to process data, you have the right to object to such processing. We will then only process data if there are compelling legitimate grounds for further processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms. This will never apply if the processing is for direct marketing purposes.
  • You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, and information about the processing we perform with that data.

If you want to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

The personal data we have is made up of what you tell us and data we collect when you use our services, or from third parties we work with.

We use this data to promote our products and services to those who may be interested. For example, if you are a customer of one of our products, we may email you to tell you about an upgrade to that product, or to show an advertisement to you on a social media site announcing the upgrade.

We only use your personal data for marketing with your consent or if we have a legitimate interest which is not overridden by your rights.

Please contact us if you do not want us to market to you in future.

We hold different personal data for different lengths of time. For example:

  • Data relating to a purchase may be held indefinitely unless you tell us you want us to delete it. If we delete the data, we would be unable to provide any further support for your purchase.
  • Marketing lists on third party platforms built using information about use of our sites may persist for up to 540 days.
