Beninca UK Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 16, 2018

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is incorporated into Beninca Automation UK Ltd’s Terms and Conditions of Sale located here (the “Terms and Conditions of Sale”) and applies to the information obtained by us through your use of Beninca’s Site, and Services that we provide as described in this Policy. Capitalised terms used in this Policy and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings provided for those terms in the Terms and Conditions of Sale.

To make this as easy as possible…..
Here are some simplified examples of the types of data that we collect, how we use that data and how we protect the data we collect directly or automatically.

What information do Beninca collect?
When you interact with our website or service (telephone call or email) we collect information that alone or in combination with other data, could be used to identify you, this is classed as Personal Data. Some information we collect, which can be collected automatically, is data that cannot be linked back to you, this is classed as Non-Personal data. This information is important to us as it allows us to provide you with the service you have enquired about.

How do Beninca use this information?
We use the data that we collect to legitimately provide you goods or services within our legitimate business interests. For example, you may want to purchase a product from us, for this to happen, we need to know who you are, your location for deliveries and payment details, such as a credit or debit card over the telephone. Without collecting this data, that transaction would not be possible. In a further example, once we know who you are, and you’ve paid for the product, to deliver that product we may employ a third-party courier, so we will need to share certain information with them in order for the goods to arrive with you.

We may also need to communicate with you about company news, product news or even special offers on the products and services that we provide. As a customer of ours you are likely to have a legitimate interest in this information and we want to share it with you. Without the stored information, we have no way of sharing such news with you.

Does Beninca share the data that it collects and stores?
We only disclose Personal Data to third parties when this is a requirement to fulfil a legitimate business practice, like the example above. We employ third-party courier services to deliver our products all over the UK. When you place an order with us, we will share your delivery address, which can be deemed as Personal Data with the third-party courier company for the goods to be delivered. When you open an account with us, you grant us the explicit content to perform such business processes.

If you have enquired about finding an installer (either from this site or our affiliated site: electricgatequote.co.uk, owned by Beninca Automation UK Ltd), the same applies in terms of the type of data that we collect, both Personal and Non-personal data that is either submitted by the User or Visitor or collected automatically. The data collection is aimed at receiving information from the Visitor in relation to a specific enquiry about our services related to automated gates and access control products. Depending on how you have indicated to us how you wish to be contacted, we would either suggest recommended trade installers in the postcode area to the Visitor or User, or pass on the necessary contact details to one or more third party gate professionals in that postcode area.

No product, promotion, company news or other company information will be sent to or shared with Visitor data that is collected other than the return of information they have requested in their submission of the contact form.

The data is shared with the intention of facilitating contact between the Visitor and the Client to which can provide the services required by the Visitor. In reverse, the Client information from the formed list of recommended installers, both Personal and Non-personal data is shared with the Visitor as part of the product or services request. The act of sharing this data is done so in accordance with the rest of this policy and its sole purposes is part of providing the Service from Beninca Automation UK Ltd.

Beninca UK does not sell or rent your data, personal or non-personal data.

5.1 Access, correction, deletion.
We respect your privacy rights and provide you with reasonable access to the Personal Data that you may have provided through your use of the Services. If you wish to access or amend any other Personal Data we hold about you, or to request that we delete or transfer any information about you that we have obtained from an Integrated Service, you may contact us as set forth in the “How to contact us” section. At your request, we will have any reference to you deleted or blocked in our database.

At any time, you may object to the processing of your Personal Data, on legitimate grounds, except if otherwise permitted by applicable law. If you believe your right to privacy granted by applicable data protection laws has been infringed upon, please contact Beninca’s Data Protection Officer at privacy@beninca.co.uk. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with data protection authorities. This provision does not apply to Personal Data that is part of Client Data.

We reserve the right to retain a copy of such data for archiving purposes, or to defend our rights in litigation. Any such request regarding Client Data should be addressed as indicated in the “How to contact us” section and include sufficient information for Beninca to identify the Client or its customer or third party and the information to delete or amend.

6. Third-party services.
The Service may contain features or links to web sites and services provided by third parties. Any information you provide on third-party sites or services is provided directly to the operators of such services and is subject to those operators’ policies, if any, governing privacy and security, even if accessed through the Service. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of third-party sites or services to which links or access are provided through the Service. We encourage you to learn about third parties’ privacy and security policies before providing them with information.

7. Data security.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorised alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the Personal Data in our possession. This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection and other access and authentication controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Service, and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If you believe your Personal Data has been compromised, please contact us as set forth in the “How to Contact Us” section.

8. Data transfer.
We may transfer, process and store Personal Data we collect through the Service in databases and with service providers located outside the EU. These locations may not have the same data protection framework as the country from which you may be using the Services. When we transfer Personal Data, we will protect it as described in this Privacy Policy.

9. Changes and updates to this policy.
Please revisit this page periodically to stay aware of any changes to this Policy, which we may update from time to time. If we modify the Policy, we will make it available through the Service, and indicate the date of the latest revision, and will comply with applicable law. Your continued use of the Service after the revised Policy has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the current version of the Policy.

10. How to contact us.
Please contact us with any questions or comments about this Policy, your Personal Data, our use and disclosure practices, or your consent choices by email at privacy@beninca.co.uk.
