• Professional advisors;

This also includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
We require that organisations outside of Silver Cloud Technologies who handle or obtain personal information as service providers acknowledge the confidentiality and sensitivity of this information and undertake to respect any individual’s right to privacy and comply with the UK Data Protection Legislation and this policy.
SECURITY OF INFORMATION:
The safeguarding of your data is of paramount importance to us. All personal information in our possession is held securely. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.
Additionally, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Details of these measures may be obtained from info@silvercloud.tech
When we need to store or transfer your personal data outside of the UK, we will ensure at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that are deemed to provide a suitable level of protection for personal data.
• Where we use service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK that offer personal data the same level of protection it has in the UK.
By providing us with your data, you agree to this transfer and storage. We will ensure that reasonable steps are taken to protect your data in accordance with this privacy notice.
In line with UK Data Protection Legislation, we have put in place processes and procedures to tackle any suspected data security breach and we will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
YOUR DUTY TO INFORM US OF CHANGES:
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current.
It is your duty to keep us informed if your personal information changes during your working relationship with us.
DATA RETENTION:
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, this includes for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In order to determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we will consider the size, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data. We will also consider the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the reasons that we process your personal data and if we are able to achieve them through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
There may be circumstances where we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. In such cases we may use the information without further notice to you. Once you are no longer a customer of Silver Cloud Technologies we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
YOUR RIGHTS OF ACCESS, CORRECTION, ERASURE, AND RESTRICTION:
Under certain events, by law you have the right to:
• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no adequate reason for us continuing to process it. You will also have the right to request us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
• Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This allows you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
• Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You will also have the right to object if we are improperly processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
• Request the restriction of the processing of your personal information. This allows you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you wanted us to establish the reason for processing it.
• Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact info@silvercloud.tech
FEE:
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly without grounds or is deemed excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:
We may require specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that your personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
TIME LIMIT TO REPLY:
We try to respond to all requests within 4 weeks. On occasion, it may take us longer than this if your request is particularly intricate or you have made a large number of requests. However, we will notify you and keep you updated.
RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT:
In the situation where you have provided your consent to the collection,
processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific situation at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact
info@silvercloud.tech. Once we have received communication that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another lawful reason for doing so.
QUESTIONS AND COMPLAINTS:
All questions concerning our Privacy Policy, or you would like to change your personal
information, or would you would like to make a complaint around any of our actions, which you consider to be in breach of our policy please contact our Compliance Manager directly at info@silvercloud.tech
We would hope to be able to deal with any complaint you may have quickly, efficiently and to your satisfaction. You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues.
