The personal data that we use is set out in Part 5, below.

  • The right to restrict (i.e., prevent) the processing of your personal data. The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
  • The right to data portability. This means that you can ask us for a copy of your personal data held by us to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
  • Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.

For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 11.

When someone visits our website, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone.

7. How Do You Use My Personal Data?

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of a contract with you or your Employer, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use it. Your personal data may be used for one of the following purposes:

Providing and managing your customer account with WildHearts. Supplying our products and/or services to you. Communicating with you. This may include responding to emails or calls from you. Updating you on social impact and our programme of events through our monthly e-Newsletter and similar communications. You may unsubscribe or opt-out at any time through a direct link included on each such communication. HR and related administrative processes (in WildHearts’ capacity as an employer).

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email and / or telephone with information about our products and services. WildHearts marketing activity is restricted to Business-to-Business communication and we do not engage in untargeted, mass email campaigns that could be perceived as spam.

Where legitimate interest is used as the lawful basis for processing your personal information, we first undertake a Balancing Assessment to ensure our marketing communications are relevant, do not infringe on your rights and freedoms, and comply with our obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003. Criteria that are considered include (but are not limited to) your job title, employer, the company size, industry, and geographical location. You will always have the opportunity to opt-out.

8. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected.

An information audit at undertaken at least annually. We will destroy or de-identify personal information once it is determined that we no longer require it for our business purposes, or as required by law.

9. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

We will only store your personal data within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the GDPR or to equivalent standards by law.

We will keep your information secure by taking appropriate technical and organisational measures against its unauthorised or unlawful processing and against its accidental loss, destruction, or damage. We will do our best to protect your personal information, but we cannot guarantee the security of your information which is transmitted to our website, applications, or services or to other website, applications and services via an internet or similar connection.

10. Do You Share My Personal Data?

Personal information we collect may be shared across WildHearts companies (as listed in Section 1) and processed in accordance with common group policies.

WildHearts also works with a small number of fulfilment partners who deliver certain aspects of our services. Personal information shared with such partners is restricted to that necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations.

If any of your personal data is required by a third party, as described above, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law.

In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

We do not and will not sell, rent out or trade your personal information.

11. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data, we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 11. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use and can be accessed here. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will normally respond to your subject access request within 7 working days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
