Privacy & Cookie Policy

Overview

This Privacy Notice explains in detail the types of Personal Data Intellek may collect about you when you interact with us. It also explains how we’ll store and handle that data, and keep it safe. We have included a lot of information in this Privacy Notice because we want you to be fully informed about your rights, and how Intellek uses your data.

We hope the following sections will answer all questions you have but if not, please do get in touch with us.

Please be aware that it is likely that we’ll need to update this Privacy Notice from time to time. We’ll notify you of any significant changes, but you’re welcome to pop back and check it whenever you wish.

Understanding the Legal Bases That We Rely On

The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which an organization may collect and process your personal data, including:

Consent

In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent.  For example, when you submit a website inquiry and tick a box to receive Intellek mailings. When collecting your personal data, we’ll always make clear to you what data is necessary in connection with a particular product or service.

Contractual Obligations

In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations we have you, as a Client Family Member. For example, if you subscribe or purchase a product or service from us, we’ll require your Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Work Office Address and Firm’s Billing Information.

Legal Compliance

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data. For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting Intellek to law enforcement.

Legitimate Interest

In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. For example, we will use your subscription or purchase history to send you or make available product updates or offers.

We will also use your email address details to send you direct marketing information by email, telling you about products and services that we think might interest you.

When Do We Collect Your Personal Data?

Here is a list of how we collect your Personal Data:

• When you subscribe or purchase an Intellek product or service.
• When you make an enquiry via the Intellek website, or when you comment on or review a blog post on the Intellek website.
• When you contact us by any means with queries or complaints.
• When you engage with us on social media.
• When you choose to complete any surveys, we send you.

Any individual may access personal data related to them, including opinions for third-parties. For example, if your comment or review on our website includes information about an Intellek Partner who provided that service, it may be passed on to them if requested.

What Personal Data Does Intellek Collect?

If you submit a web enquiry to us, or email Intellek direct, your Name, Email Address, Telephone Number and Work Office Address is collected.

If you are a Client Family Member using any of the Intellek products or services, we will collect your Name, Email Address, Telephone Number, Work Office Address and Firm’s Billing Information. Other data, depending on the Intellek product or service you have, we may have collected your Date of Birth.

We will also collect information from interactions you have with us, online or on a phone call. For example, details of any complaints or comments you make, details of purchases you have made, web pages you visit, how and when you contact us and which site you came from to ours. To deliver the best possible web experience, we collect technical information, via Google Analytics, about your internet connection and browser as well as the country and telephone code where your computer is located, the web pages viewed during your visit, and any search terms you entered

How and Why Does Intellek  Use Your Personal Data?

Providing the best service is key at Intellek HQ. We want to give you the best possible experience. One way to achieve that is to get the richest picture we can of who you are by combining the data we have about you. We then use this to offer you promotions, products and services that are most likely to interest you.

The data privacy law allows this as part of our legitimate interest in understanding our customers and providing the highest levels of service.

Of course, if you wish to change how we use your data, you’ll find details in the ‘What are my rights?’ section below.

Remember, if you choose not to share your personal data with us, or refuse certain contact permissions, we might not be able to provide some services you’ve asked for. For example, if you’ve asked us to let you know when product updates are available, we can’t do that if you’ve withdrawn your general consent to hear from us.

Here’s how we’ll use your personal data and why:

To respond to your queries, and any complaints, handling the information you sent enables us to respond to you. We may also keep a record of these to inform any future communication with us and to demonstrate how we communicated with you throughout. We do this on the basis of our contractual obligations to you, our legal obligations and our legitimate interests in providing you with the best service and understanding how we can improve our service based on your experience.

With your consent, we will use your personal data, preferences and details of your transactions to keep you informed by email, about relevant products and services including tailored special offers, discounts, promotions, events, and so on.

Of course, you are free to opt out of hearing from us by any of these channels at any time.

Intellek will not send any marketing communications to you by post.

To send you communications required by law or which are necessary to inform you about our changes to the services we provide you. For example, updates to this Privacy Notice. These messages will not include any promotional content and do not require prior consent when sent by email or text message. If we do not use your personal data for these purposes, we would be unable to comply with our legal obligations.

To send you survey and feedback requests to help improve our products and services. These messages will not include any promotional content and do not require prior consent when sent by email or text message. We have a legitimate interest to do so as this helps make our products or services more relevant to you.

Combining your data for personalized direct marketing?

We want to bring you offers and promotions that are most relevant to your interests at particular times. To help us form a better, overall understanding of you as a customer, we combine your personal data gathered across the business as described above. For this purpose, we also combine the data that we collect directly from you with data that we obtain from third party processors such as Google Analytics.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

We know how much data security matters to all our Client Family Members and potential Client Family Members. We will treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it.

We secure access to all areas of our website using ‘https’ technology and access to your personal data is password-protected.

Any Client Family Member using cloud-based services, your access is also via ‘https’ unless specified by your Data Controller and your data transferred internally is via secured by SSL encryption.

We regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we carry out penetration testing for the Intellek LMS to identify ways to further strengthen security.

How Long Will We Keep Your Personal Data?

Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymized, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.

An example of Client Family Member data retention periods;

When you subscribe to or purchase a product or product, we’ll keep the personal and financial data you give us for six years, plus the current year, so we can comply with our legal and contractual obligations.

Who Do We Share Your Personal Data With?

These requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into consideration.
• We may, from time to time, expand, reduce or sell the Partnership and this may involve the transfer of divisions or the whole business to new owners.
