Processing Personal Data for a Legitimate Interest 

What does Legitimate interest mean?

Legitimate interest means the interests of our company in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give our customers and channel partners the best and most secure experience. For example, we have an interest in making sure our marketing is relevant for you, so we may process your information to send you marketing that is tailored to your interests and which will enable you to effectively use and/or promote our products and services.

Processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by Techex, the controller, or by a third party, our selected channel partners, to provide you with details relating to our products and services. 

Why would we process your information for a legitimate interest?

We process personal information for certain legitimate business purposes, which include some or all of the following:

• Where the processing enables us to enhance, modify, personalise or otherwise improve our products, services and communications for the benefit of our customers

Please bear in mind that if you object this may affect our ability to carry out tasks above for your benefit.

 

Direct Marketing

Any marketing undertaken by Techex is processed in compliance with e-privacy regulation and direct marketing best practice.

We may process personal data for direct marketing by email. If you are an existing channel partner or customer it is important that we are able to keep you updated with the latest news about Techex products, services and events. We are therefore legally allowed to send direct marketing to personal data obtained using soft opt-in consent as outlined in the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulation (PECR).

 

Processing Personal data with Consent for direct marketing

You may freely consent to your personal data being processed by Techex for direct marketing in the following circumstances:

• When you tick an optional field for opt-in on a form on the website

• When you leave a business card or have your details collected at an event/ trade show - we may verbally ask whether you consent to receive communications from us
• Signing a consent statement on a paper form to receive marketing communications - you may be asked to do this at a trade show or event

Where applicable we keep clear records of where, when and how consent was obtained.

We process personal data for the purpose of direct marketing by electronic means, i.e., email. For individuals who are not current channel partners or existing customers (e.g. we may have acquired your details by purchasing a list from a third party), we require that individuals give consent - or opt-in - to receive direct marketing in accordance with applicable laws.

We ensure you have a free and fully informed choice to exercise your right to consent or actively opt-in. Where explicit consent is to be gathered we endeavour to ensure that you are fully aware of what you are consenting to and how your personal data will be used. These purposes may fall under the section Why and How do we use personal data?

• In the event that we sell any or all of our business to a buyer

Other than for the purposes communicated to you in this privacy policy, we will not share your personal information with any other third parties without your consent unless we are required to do so by law. Where disclosure to third parties is required by law, our legal basis for processing your information in this way is that it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation that we are subject to.

 

How long do we keep your personal data?

We do not keep any personal data for any longer than is reasonably necessary and the policy for retaining data will be regularly reviewed by the Data Controller.

Techex may retain personal information indefinitely for the following purposes:
