Additional information
If you would like more information about our legal basis for processing your data, feel free to contact us. Some of the grounds for processing your data overlap, so there may be several reasons which justify us processing your data.
We do not sell or rent your data to marketers or third parties.
We may use your data in other ways than described here but we’ll inform you about these purposes when we collect your data.
Please note that special circumstances or legal requirements may mean that such periods may be shorter or longer, depending on the purpose of complying with legal requirements for the erasure or keeping of information.
Keeping your data safe
We use reasonable organisational, technical and administrative measures to protect your data within our company.
The Internet is not a 100% secure environment and that means we cannot guarantee the security of the data you transmit to us. Emails sent via the Internet might not be encrypted, so we advise you not to include any confidential or sensitive information in your emails to us.
Third parties and processors
We use companies (processors) to help us deliver our services to you, e.g. WIRs accredited designers
When we use a processor we make sure that there is a legal agreement in place regarding how they will be handling data on our behalf, and obtain your approval before sharing any data.
We’ll also make sure that there is a legal agreement in place allowing us to give them access to the data (see more below).
Read our cookie policy regarding the suppliers we use for those services.
In the event that we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. This policy will continue to apply to your information also after the information has been transferred to the new entity.
Your rights
You have the following rights:
-
Your right of access and rectification - You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal data or ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. There are some exemptions, which means you may not always receive all the information we process but as a main rule you can always contact us and ask for your information.
-
Your right to erasure - You can ask us to erase your information in certain circumstances.
-
You also have the right to have the processing of your data restricted.
-
Your right to withdraw your consent: If processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Your withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before you withdrew your consent. You may withdraw your consent by emailing simon.mlot@waterapplications.co.uk
-
Your right to restriction of processing and object to processing - You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your information and a similar right to object to processing.
-
Your right to data portability: You have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (data portability).

Where your data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data about you for such marketing.
The law gives us one month to respond to you, but we will try to respond sooner.
There may be conditions or limitations on these rights. It is therefore not certain e.g. you have the right of data portability in a specific case - this depends on the specific circumstances of the processing activity. You are always welcome to contact us and ask. The same goes for some of the other rights.
