Our Policy Covers
Why do we value your privacy?
We value your privacy as much as we do our own, so we’re committed to keeping your personal and business information safe. We’re uncomfortable with the information companies, governments, and other organisations keep on file, so we ask for only the bare minimum from our customers. We’ll never use your personal information for any reason other than why you gave it, and we’ll never give anyone access to it unless we’re forced to by law.
How do we collect information?
We ask for contact information including your name, email address, and phone number, on our website so that we can reply to your enquiry.
Our website does not use cookies or scripts that are designed to track the websites you visit.
We ask for your account and contact information when you appoint our services.
Occasionally, we might receive your contact information from one of our partners. If we do, we protect it in exactly the same way as if you give it to us directly.
What information do we hold?
When you contact us by email or through our website, we collect your name, email address, phone number, a social media username, and the company you work for, if you’ve given us that.
If you do business with us, we also collect your business name and bank details and keep records of the invoices we send you and the payments you make.
Where do we store your information?
When you contact us by email or through our website, we store your information on our Company Server with restricted access. If we do business, we store your information in our accounts software, Sage. We chose these systems partly for their commitment to security.
What is your information used for?
We occasionally use your contact information to send you details of our services or events we think you may be interested in. When we do, you have the option to unsubscribe from these communications and we won’t send them to you again. We might also email or phone you about our services or events, but if you tell us not to, we won’t get in touch again. We will use your information to send you invoices, statements, or reminders.
Who is responsible for your information at our company?
Simone Fearn, our Quality Manager, is responsible for the security of your information. You can contact her by email at sfearn@ymdboon.co.uk or by phone on 01858 464 482 if you have any concerns about the information we store.
Who has access to information about you?
When we store information in our own systems, only the people who need it have access. Our management team have access to everything you’ve provided, but individual employees have access to only what they need to do their job.
What steps do we take to keep your information private?
Where we store your information in third-party services, we restrict access only to people who need it. We use a different, randomly generated password for each service, and never use the same password twice.
The computers we use are all encrypted to help prevent unauthorised access to the information stored on them and are protected by a passcode. These computers ask for authentication whenever they’re started or after 5 minutes of inactivity. Our mobile devices are also protected by a fingerprint or facial recognition.
