Why we need it?

We only ever use your personal data with your consent or where it is necessary and only for the purpose or purposes it was collected for (or closely related purposes). In most cases the purpose will be for the performance of a contract or to enter into a contract.

We may also process personal information for certain legitimate business purposes, which include some or all the following:

When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests, we will make sure that we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests – we will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You have the right to object to this processing if you wish, and if you wish to do so please in the manner described above. Please bear in mind that if you object this may affect our ability to carry out tasks above for your benefit.

  • We do not sell or pass on any of your data to 3rd parties.
  • We do not ask for more information than we need.
  • We do not store data that identifies you for longer than it is required to provide our services to you.

Who will it be shared with?

We may provide your personal data to our suppliers and service providers, who provide certain business services for us and act as "processors" of your personal data on our behalf. We may also share your data with relevant government authorities where necessary to complete the service we have undertaken to provide for you.

In addition, we may disclose your personal data if we are under a duty to do so in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to protect the rights, property, or safety, of our business, our customers or others.

If, in order to fulfil our contract with you we transfer your information outside of the EU, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken, with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this policy. If you need further information on how we do this, please email dpo@jamescargo.com.

If you use our services whilst you are outside of the EU, your information may be transferred outside the EU in order to provide you with those services.

How long we keep it

We will only use and store information for so long as it is required for the purposes it was collected. How long information will be stored depends on the information in question and what it is being used for.
