At Databasix, we collect information about you and we want to make sure you understand why we collect it and how we use it. We know it’s important to you that we keep this information safe. Have a read and ask us if you have any questions about it.

Who are we?

Databasix is the trading name of Get Data Protection Services. Get Data Protection Services is a business based in Eynsham, Oxfordshire. We have told the Information Commissioner’s Office that we collect information about people, and we must show that we obey the law. We have registered our business with Companies House.

What information do we collect about you?

When you use the services we offer, work for our business or use our website, we collect information about you. It might be simple information like your name, address and email address, or it might be information from your computer which could tell us who you are (like your IP address for example). Information that can identify you as an individual is called ‘Personal Data’.

We collect information about you when you:

• Ask for more information about our products and services

How do we use your information?

We need to collect information about you to help us run the business and provide great services. The list below includes the main reasons that we collect information about you:

• So we can provide you with good services, if you need them
• So we can answer your questions, if you have them.
• So we follow the rules businesses in the UK have to follow
• So we can organise the event(s) you are taking part in
• So we can send you our newsletter, but only if you want to receive it and have told us that you want to
• So we can make our website better, if we understand how everyone uses it

We have carefully checked that these reasons are okay under the law that tells companies how to keep you and your information safe when we use it.

We keep it until the event is finished, and then for 12 months after you attended. Information about payment is kept for 7 years in case we need to check our accounts in that time.

We will never sell your data to other businesses to use for their own reasons.

Storing your information outside of the UK and Europe.

The law which tells businesses how to use information about people and how to keep it safe is the same in most European Countries, including the UK. A lot of companies round the world offer services to record and store information, and sometimes we might use them to store your information. We have to tell you when we send or store information in other countries in the world. We also have to make sure that it is always stored safely, no matter where it is in the world. Here are some of the companies we use:

• We use Xero to track money paid to us. Xero is a company based in the United States (US) and they have big computers, known as servers, which store data for us. We have checked your information will still be safe and Xero also obey the same laws that we have to here in the UK.
  
  
• We use Apptivo CRM to record contact details of our customers and people who might become customers. It also records information about our projects and our team members. Apptivo is a company based in the United States (US) and they have big computers, known as servers, which store data for us. We have checked your information will still be safe and Apptivo also obey the same laws that we have to here in the UK.
  
  
• We use ClickMeeting to deliver training courses and free webinars to customers. Clickmeeting is a company based in the UK, so information stays in the UK.
  
  
• We use LearnDash to store our e-learning content and they will receive information about you to give you access to the course. LearnDash is a company based in the USA, so information stays in the USA.
