Personal Information: what is it and do I have to provide it to use the Website?

North London Web Design and SEO does not operate a mandatory registration service and does not require you to enter any Personal Information in order to view the Website.

Personal Information (also known under European data protection laws as personal data) means any information that could identify you as a distinct individual such as your name, home address or email address.  Personal Information may also include other things such as your medical history, employment details, financial history or even your information about your education or training.  These are just examples of Personal Information and North London Web Design and SEO certainly does not collect all of this information.  North London Web Design and SEO does not collect any Personal Information unless you voluntarily decide to communicate with us, for example by contacting us via our Website (please see below).  The Personal information collected is your name and email address.  In addition to this Personal Information, we also collect company address, company details, company payment details and financial details.  The information that we collect from you is needed for the purposes listed above.

Principles that Govern how your Personal information is Used 

North London Web Design and SEO will apply the following principles when using your Personal Information:

  • Lawfulness, fairness and transparency. Personal Information will be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to you.
  • Purpose limitation. Personal Information will be collected only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes. It will not be further processed in any manner incompatible with those purposes.
  • Data minimisation. Personal Information will be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.
  • Personal Information will be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. We will use reasonable steps to ensure that personal information which is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which it is processed, is erased or rectified without delay.
  • Storage limitation. Personal Information will not be kept in a form which permits your identification for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the information is processed.
  • Integrity and confidentiality. Personal Information will be processed in a manner that ensures its appropriate security. This includes protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. In this regard, we will use appropriate technical or organisational security measures.
  • We are responsible for, and will demonstrate, compliance with the data protection principles.
