OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR USING PERSONAL INFORMATION
The legal basis on which ATA Consultancy handles personal information depends on the circumstances and the applicable law.
United Kingdom
Where UK data protection legislation applies, we may rely on:
-
Consent where you have chosen to receive particular communications and consent is the appropriate legal basis.
-
Contract where using your information is necessary to provide services you or your organisation have requested.
-
Legal obligation where we need to use or retain information to comply with the law.
-
Legitimate interests where ATA Consultancy has a legitimate business or professional reason for using information and, having considered the impact on the individual, those interests are not overridden by their rights and interests.
Our legitimate interests may include developing professional relationships, communicating with organisations and professionals working in areas relevant to ATA Consultancy's work, and making relevant professional audiences aware of learning opportunities, events and services.
Canada
Where Canadian privacy legislation applies, ATA Consultancy will collect, use and disclose personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian requirements, including requirements relating to appropriate purposes, consent where required, limiting collection and use, safeguards, openness and individual access.
We will identify the purposes for which information is collected and will seek consent where required by applicable Canadian law.
PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING
From time to time, ATA Consultancy may contact professionals using their work contact details to tell them about events, learning opportunities or services that we reasonably believe are relevant to their professional responsibilities.
Contact information may have been provided directly to us or obtained from a publicly available professional source.
You can ask us to stop sending you marketing communications at any time.
Simply reply to the email you receive or contact:
We will respect your request. We may retain the minimum information necessary on a suppression or do-not-contact list so that we can continue to honour your preference.
SHARING YOUR INFORMATION
We may use trusted organisations and service providers to help us operate our business, website, communications, events and administrative systems.
Where another organisation processes personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate protections are in place and that information is used only for the agreed purposes.
We may also disclose information where required or permitted by law.
INTERNATIONAL WORKING AND TRANSFERS
ATA Consultancy operates internationally and works with clients, associates and service providers in different countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada.
This may sometimes involve personal information being processed or accessed outside the country in which it was originally collected.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, ATA Consultancy will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable privacy and data protection requirements and that appropriate safeguards are used where required.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet relevant legal, contractual, regulatory or business requirements.
Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information and our relationship with you.
Where you have asked us not to contact you for marketing purposes, we may retain limited information on a suppression list so that we can continue to respect that request.
KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
