MM PC Solutions - GDPR data protection policy - 25/05/2018

Click here for a printable copy of this policy is available in PDF.

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), came into force on May 25th, 2018.
These changes have been deemed necessary due the vast increase of digital information we create, capture and store.
It will change how businesses and public-sector organisations can handle the information of customers.
GDPR means that we at MM PC Solutions will be more accountable for handling people’s personal information and as such we have updated our data protection policies.

Why we process Personal (Customer) Data;

All information whether in paper or digital form is stored securely.
We do not share your data with any 3rd parties unless you specifically request us to do so.

What is the Lawful Basis for processing Personal Data?;

The Law says we must tell you this.

• We hold customers data because it is in our legitimate interest to do so. Without holding the data we cannot work effectively to provide the service that you have requested.

Your Rights;

1. Be informed about the personal data we hold and why we hold it.
2. Access a copy of your data that we hold by contacting us directly; we will acknowledge your request and supply a response within one month.

4. Have your data erased in certain circumstances.

6. Tell us not to actively process or update your data in certain circumstances.

Access to your records;
You have the right of access to the data that we hold about you and to receive a copy. You can request a copy in writing to us.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information that we collect. You are also entitled to object to or restrict, at any time, the further processing of your personal information.

How long is the Personal Data stored for?;
We will store Customer personal data for as long as we are providing a service to you. We will archive (that is, store it without further action) for as long as is required for legal taxation and insurance purposes.

What if you are not happy or wish to raise a concern about our data processing?;
If you do not wish personal data that we hold about you to be used in the way that is described in this privacy notice, please discuss the matter with us first. You have the right to object; however, this may affect our ability to provide you an ongoing service.

The right to be forgotten;
The law requires us to tell you about this right, but there are a number of compelling and legitimate reasons not to grant this request.
