Information we collect and manage as a data controller

We collect, use, transfer, and store personal data for:

(1) Marketing purposes. Our marketing activities are business-to-business contacts and do not involve consumers, so the typical personal data we handle is: name, work email address, work telephone number, job title, employer name, LinkedIn profile URL (the information you might provide to us on a business card, at an industry event, or can be found online such as on LinkedIn). This information will be held:

In our CRM (Hubspot – https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy)
In our email client (Mailchimp – https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy)
Our activity is likely to consist of: Emails, direct mail, conferences and events, LinkedIn InMails and LinkedIn advertising.
Legal basis for processing: Legitimate business interests

We have considered the impact of using such information, and limit our use to only what is strictly proportionate, has a minimal privacy impact, and what a business contact would not be surprised or likely to object to.

We may also send email newsletters to those who subscribe to receive updates through our website. Legal basis for processing: Consent

If you complete our contact form, we will use this to respond to you. We will then store this information in our CRM, which allows us to keep track of when we have communicated to ensure we are proportionate, relevant and not excessive in any future communications.

If you happen to receive any of our marketing communications, you may unsubscribe by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link located on the bottom of our marketing emails, or by contacting us.

(2) To service client contracts. To communicate with clients and satisfy contractual commitments and services, we typically handle personal data such as: name, work email address, work telephone number, job title, employer name. This information will be held:

Information we are given and process on behalf of clients

On rare occasions we are supplied personal data of a client’s employees to fulfill our services. This typically includes name, home address, work or personal email. We restrict access on a need-to-know basis and use the personal data to fulfil the service requested. Once complete, the data is securely deleted.

Our website

Our website is an advertisement for our services. To improve our user experience, we collect some data derived from information about your activities on our website provided to us by Google Analytics. The insights provided by Google Analytics help us to better understand who our users are, where they come from, and their behaviours. We also use Lead Forensics – this provides static IPs which relate to businesses only (https://www.leadforensics.com/privacy-policy). This gives us insight, but given our marketing is targeted to large businesses, we’re not able to identify people on an individual basis. We do collect cookies as a result of the above – details of which can be found in our Cookie Policy.

How long we store your data

The amount of time we hold your data varies according to the purpose we have for using it. However, we will not hold data for any longer than is necessary for the purposes we collected it. You can contact us for more details about specific retention periods.

Third-party use of information

Except as described above, Eximia will not disclose, sell or rent your personal data to any third party. However, if a third party acquires all (or substantially all) of Eximia’s business and/or assets, Eximia may disclose your personal information to that third party in connection with the acquisition. Eximia may also disclose your personal data where required to do so by applicable law, to a governmental body or law enforcement agency.

Finally, Eximia may also collect anonymised details (no single individual will be identified) about visitors to our website for the purposes of aggregate statistics or reporting purposes.

Third-party websites

Our website may contain links to other websites operated by third parties. Please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to the personal data that Eximia collect through our website and we are not responsible for personal data that third parties may collect, store and use through their websites. You should always read the privacy policy of each website you visit.
