Personal Data Held

  • Our overriding principle is that we treat all personal data as confidential.
  • We comply with all relevant legislation including the DPA & GDPR. Our Data Protection Officer is responsible for implementing policies to ensure legal compliance and to ensure that we maintain the high standards of confidentiality, privacy and security necessary to maintain the trust of our customers and all others with whom we work.
  • The great majority of personal data we gather is required to fulfil our services. For customers and potential customers, we gather the data relevant to processing their orders and managing accounts such as name, address, email, phone numbers and website. This data is provided by our customers, suppliers and other affiliates related to providing the services.
  • Reflecting the diverse nature of our customer base and the other contacts with whom we work, we hold ‘company contact’ and ‘private Individual’ information relating to the legal/billing entity with whom we trade. We also hold ‘person contact’ data relating to individuals within the organisation with whom we interact. (NB, where we trade with a private individual, the company contact data, maybe the same as for the personal contact.)
  • We typically obtain data directly from our customers and contacts by phone, email or in person. We also obtain data from websites, enquiries, responses to marketing campaigns and publicly available sources. Third parties provide personal data such as where we are engaged by an agent on behalf of their client; in this case, we check that consent has been provided by the subject to share the data.
  • We do not hold data on children.
  • Personal data and consent information is held primarily on our GDPR compliant systems and subject to our policies and safeguards. Judith Strong Design (JSD) and our third-party system providers offer very high levels of system security. The providers are contractually required to manage all data following demanding confidentiality agreements.
