Privacy policy - EPR Marketing

We at EPR Marketing (referred to in this Privacy Policy as “we/us/our”) understand that your privacy is important to you and that you care about how your personal data is used. We respect and value the privacy of our clients, prospective clients, associates and everyone else who visits our website (https://eprmarketing.co.uk/) and will only collect and use personal data in ways that are described here, and in a manner that is consistent with our obligations and your rights under the law.

Definitions and Interpretation: In this Privacy Policy, the following terms will have the following meanings:

“Client” means any business entering into contract with us for the provision of our services;

“Client Data” means any personal or other data provided to us by a Client;

“Data Protection Legislation” means, collectively, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and includes any amendments to them; and

“Personal data” is defined in the Data Protection Legislation as “any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier”. In simpler terms, it means any information about you that enables you to be identified, so it covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers and online identifiers.

Do We Share Your Data?

Where any of your data is required for such a purpose, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data will be handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the obligations of the third party under the law.

Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time.
