rivacy Notice
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Here at Type It Tiger we take your privacy seriously and will only use your personal information to administer your account and to provide the products and services which you have requested from us.
Such requests from you imply that you have consented to us using your data for this purpose.
The data that we collect is that which is required purely for transactional purposes. This may include, but not necessarily be limited to: a contact name; contact telephone number; contact email address and contact postal address.
An example of a transactional purpose will be the use of your personal data for raising an invoice in respect of a commissioned piece of work.
For the avoidance of doubt we will not use your data for unsolicited marketing purposes and neither will we pass your data to third parties.
Information for you about how we look after personal information about you and/or your business.
1. Background
On 25 May 2018 a new law came into place. It is known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). There is a lot of terminology used within the GDPR, but basically this is about how personal information is collected about you and how we use and look after it. This document sets out the detail about how the personal information provided will be used and looked after and explains your rights in relation to it.
2. Our commitment to you
Our commitment is to:-
-
Keep personal information safe and private;
-
Not use personal information for any purpose other than in connection with work commissioned by you and in accordance with the other purposes set out in this notice;
-
Make it easy for you to approach us if you have any concerns or questions relating to the holding of personal information;
-
Not provide personal information to others save where legally required to do so.
3. How information is collected from you
Information will be collected from you (or others in your organisation) where required for transaction purposes. This might be achieved by providing information verbally, whether face to face or by telephone, completion of paper documents or by electronic means such as through email or interaction with our websites. Please ensure that all personal information is accurately provided as the information which is held is only as accurate as the information provided in the first place.
If any of the personal information provided changes please notify us as soon as possible in order that the personal information can be updated.
4. What personal information will we collect from you?
We will typically only require the following information: –
-
Name;
-
Address;
-
Contact details
5. What will personal information be used for?
Personal information will only be used for transactional business purpose following the commission of a piece of work. These will include, although not necessarily be limited to:
-

Delivery of completed work
6. To whom will we provide personal information?
Personal information will only be used by Type It Tiger for transactional purposes. Those working for Type It Tiger, including employees and sub-contractors, may therefore be required to have access to your data but this will only ever be on a “need to know” basis. We will never provide your data to any other third parties save where legally required to do so. Outsourcing of work only occurs in exceptional circumstances (e.g. if something requires to be translated from a foreign language before being transcribed). Outsourced work will not usually require the passing of personal information since the outsourced agent is not required to know the identity of our customer. However, if the content being translated as supplied by you contains personal information then the outsourced agent will unavoidably be privy to this information. Since this information is supplied by you rather than by Type It Tiger, and since it may be in a language that we cannot understand, we would urge you to redact any information that you do not wish to share prior to sending for provision to an outsourced agent.
7. What happens if I do not wish to provide personal information?
