Fortis Greene Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy will help you understand what information we collect from you and process using this website, how we obtain it, and what choices and rights you have about your personal data.

When we refer to “Fortis Greene” within this Privacy Policy, we are referring to Fortis Greene Limited of Holyoake House, Hanover Street, Manchester M4 4AH.

Data Protection Framework

Fortis Greene is based within the United Kingdom, and as such is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as a Data Controller under the UK Data Protection Act of 1998 (ZA243919). We have also aligned this Privacy Policy with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which comes into effect on 25th May 2018, under the supervision of the ICO within the UK.

Fortis Greene has completed applicable Privacy Impact Assessments (also known as Data Protection Impact Assessments under GDPR) for activities related to this website, and these are available upon request from the Fortis Greene Data Protection Officer (see Section 8).

1. Customer and Citizen Data

You may decide to send us your personal information via this website if you are responding to a job advertisement, seeking more information, requesting a demonstration or trial of one of our services or for other similar business administration or support purposes. Your decision to disclose your personal data is entirely voluntary, and by doing so, you are providing us with specific consent to use your personal data only in relation to the specific purposes for which you have disclosed it to us.

Fortis Greene may access and use your Customer Data only for the purposes for which you have submitted it to us to (a) provide information to you, (b) contact you, (c) provide services to you, or (d) maintain the operations and security of the website and services we provide to you. We will not use your personal information for any other purposes, for example the communication of marketing material.

We will always handle and store your personal data in accordance with industry best practice aligned with ISO27001, the international standard for information security. This includes the activities and procedures undertaken by our own personnel and any third parties (see Section 5), and the technical controls which we have implemented to prevent the unauthorised access, compromise or theft of information from our applications, supporting computer systems and premises.

2. Sensitive Personal Data

GDPR specifies a set of personal data categories which are “sensitive”, and which require special consideration by Data Controllers. This website, and any services available from this website, do not knowingly collect or process any sensitive personal data, and supporting Privacy Impact Assessments (also known as Data Protection Impact Assessments under GDPR) are available upon request from the Fortis Greene Data Protection Officer (see Section 8).

3. Children’s Personal Data

This website, and any services available from this website, are not directed to children under the age of 13. If you learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with their personal information without having parental consent, please contact the Fortis Greene Data Protection Officer (see Section 8) immediately so that we can take appropriate action.

4. Customer and Citizen Data Rights

As prescribed within data protection regulations, you have several rights connected to the provision of your personal data to Fortis Greene using this website. These include your rights to request that we:

• confirm to you what personal data we may hold about you, if any, and for what purposes • change the consent which you have provided in relation to your personal data • correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data which we may hold about you • provide you with a complete copy of your personal data for you to move elsewhere • stop processing your personal data, whilst an objection from you is being resolved • permanently erase all your personal data promptly, and confirms to you that we have done so (there may be reasons why we may be unable to do this)
