These include our analytics provider, Squarespace, social media networks (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram), and our marketing provider, Mailchimp — all of which are based outside of the European Union.
We only use your personal data how and when the law allows. The most common circumstances in which we will use your personal data is as follows:
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and/or fundamental rights do not override those interests.
Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Where we need to perform the contact we are about to enter into or have entered into with you (for example, the use of Identity and Contact data for our marketing and newsletter service, PosiPost).
In general circumstances, The Unedit does not rely on consent as a lawful basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending marketing communications to you via email. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us or opting out via your latest marketing email.
To find out more about the types of lawful basis for processing your personal data that we rely on in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), click here.
If we need to collect personal data, for example an email address to finalise your subscription to PosiPost, and you fail to provide said data when requested, we may not be able to fulfil our duties to provide you with the related service.
The purposes for which we will use your personal data are as follows:
To add you to our marketing subscription lists
To use data analytics to improve our website, products/services, marketing, customer relationships and experiences
To administer and protect The Unedit, Unedited Media Ltd, and The Unedit’s website (including data analysis, troubleshooting, system maintenance, testing, support, and the reporting and hosting of data)
It’s of upmost importance to us that you make the choices regarding certain uses of personal data, particularly around marketing and advertising.
We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical and Usage data to form a view on what we think you may want or need or what may be of interest. This allows us to, where applicable, decide which products, services and offers may be relevant to you within our marketing services.
You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us or opting out via your latest marketing email. This immediately withdraws your consent to any future marketing or PosiPost newsletters.
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it another reason, given that it is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to query the change of purpose for processing your personal data, please contact us.
Should our reason for processing your personal data differ from, or be unrelated to, the original purpose, we will notify you, explaining the lawful basis that allows us to do so. Where required or permitted by law, please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent in compliance with the above rules.
Appropriate security measures have been in place by The Unedit and Unedited Media Ltd in order to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in any way considered to be unauthorised, altered, or disclosed. Further, we restrict access to your personal data to employees, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. Any of the above listed will only process your personal data upon our instruction, and they are subject to a duty of care and confidentiality.
Should we encounter any suspected personal data breach, we will notify both you and any applicable regulator of a breach whereby we are legally required to do so.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You can request any of the following:
Access to your personal data (also known as “data subject access request”). This allows you to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you, and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Correction of your personal data. This allows you to make corrections made for any incomplete or inaccurate data that we hold about you. However, should you request to amend any of your personal data, we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data that you provide us with.
The objection of the processing of your personal data. You can do so given that we are processing your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party), and there is something about your circumstance whereby you believe processing has an impact on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your personal data which override your rights and freedoms.
The erasure of your personal data. This allows you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it. You also have the legal right to ask us to remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to the processing of your personal data, as well as where we may have unlawfully processed your data or where we are required to delete your personal data to comply with local law. Please note, however, that we may not be able to comply with your request of erasure for legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Restriction of the processing of your personal data. This allows you to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (i) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (ii) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (iii) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to our use of your personal data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
The transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party that you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to provide certain services to you.
The withdrawal of your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services got you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
To ensure your right to access your personal data (or exercise any further rights) and to confirm your identity, we may need to request specific information from you. This is a security measure that we have put in place in order to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you further information in relation to your request to move along your enquiry.
We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month, although response times may differ based on the size or complexity or your request.
