Avolites Ltd. - Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us
We appreciate the interest you have shown in our products.
This Privacy Policy outlines our guidelines on how to handle and manage
information we collect when you interact with our apps, our websites, or by
post, email or face to face. “Personal Information” is information about you
that is personally identifiable to you like your name, address, e-mail address,
or phone number. “Anonymised Information” means information that is not
associated with or linked to your personal information. Anonymised information
does not permit identification of you. Anonymised information, such as basic
usage statistics regarding your use of our products and services, does not by
itself identify you, though such information may be unique, or consist of, or
contain information that you consider personal. This policy was last updated on
the 20th June 2018.
Collection of Information
When you register an interest in our products or services we
collect sufficient information about you to keep in contact with you for the
purposes of sending periodic newsletters, technical information about our
products, and important upgrade and security information about your products to
assist you in obtaining maximum value and performance from our products. We may
collect Anonymised Information passively or actively. Anonymised information
helps us learn about our users and customers and we use this information to
provide you with information about our products and services, to develop new
products and services, and to better tailor features or performance. For the
purposes of marketing we may collect personal information of relevant
candidates, meaning candidates who operate either on a personal or commercial
level within our fields of business.

Information Collected via Technology
If you use our apps, certain Anonymised Information may also
be collected passively. The nature of the Anonymised Information that your
device transmits to us will not enable us to trace it back to an identifiable
person. The use of our App does not allow us to collect any Personal
Information about you. When you download software from our website, or license
software through our website we may record information such as your name,
company, phone number and email address so we can communicate information in
the future about that software or licence to assist you.
Lawful bases for personal data processing
Avolites records only data strictly necessary to meet the
purpose(s) of processing. We aim to
collect only the details that are necessary for the intended purpose, no more
and no less. In the event of any change in processing, we will reverify that
the data collected is still relevant. Where possible, Avolites defaults to
either anonymised data or pseudonymised data, personal data is only utilised
where no other reasonable alternative is available.
To ensure compliance with the GDPR, Avolites Ltd has
conducted a full review of all the personal data that we process and the legal
bases that applies. Where Legitimate Interest is the legal basis we have also
conducted a full ‘Legitimate Interest Assessment’ to ensure compliance. Avolites
Ltd rely on four of the lawful bases described in the GDPR, which allow us to
process personal data that we have deemed necessary. Listed below is the data
processing that we perform and the associated legal bases that apply.
1. Personal
data of suppliers:
a. Legal
Obligation, Contract and/or Consent
b. For
the purpose of being able to purchase components and/or general supply
2. Personal
data of customers:
a. Contract
and/or Consent
b. For
the purpose of keeping customers up to date and/or fulfil an order
3. Personal
data of product users: Legitimate Interest and/or Consent
4. Personal
data of potential customers: Legitimate Interest and/or Consent
5. Personal
data of potential customers (email database): Legitimate Interest and/or
Consent
Where we have adopted Legitimate Interest or Consent as the
legal bases you can request information about (or correction/deletion of) the
data we hold about you.
Mailing List
We hold client names and emails on our mailing list. Over
many years we have collected email address information from existing clients
and contacts who have a legitimate interest in our industry. We have never used
purchased data or passed our contacts to a third party. We have a visible
unsubscribe facility on our enewsletters/product updates and stop sending
newsletters when a user unsubscribes. In line with the GDPR, we have conducted
a review of the personal data held on the database of mailing list contacts and
have determined that we can continue to market to the contacts under the lawful
basis of ‘Legitimate Interest’. Moving ahead into the future, you will still
receive the same service and communications just as you have always done, and
your data will always continue to be held securely and treated with our
absolute care and respect. You will have the right to unsubscribe at any time
and can request information about (or correction/deletion of) the data we hold
about you.

This Privacy Policy is subject to occasional revision, and
if we make any substantial changes in the way we use the Anonymised
Information, we will post a notice on this page. If you object to any such
changes, you must cease using our products and services where Anonymised
Information is collected. Continued use of our products and services following
notice of any such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of the changes
and agreement to be bound by the new terms and conditions.
