2.0 Privacy Policy Version 1.0

This privacy policy applies to johnboyle.ws website. It sets out the conditions under which I may process any information that I collect from you, or that you provide to me. It covers information that could identify you - personal information - and information that could not.

3.0 Relevant Legislation

This policy covers the collection, processing and other use of personal data under the UK Data Protection Act, 1998 (DPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation, 2018 (GDPR). It has been compiled so as to comply with the law of every country or legal jurisdiction in which I aim to do business. If you think it fails to satisfy the law of your jurisdiction, you should contact me.

4.0 Owner and Data Controller of Website

The owner and data controller of this website is John Boyle. If you have any enquiry regarding the collection or processing of your data you should write to me by email in the first instance at john@johnboyle.ws

5.0 The bases on which I process information about you

There are six possible bases for collecting and/or processing your personal information defined in the GDPR. I will usually use the basis of contract and the basis of consent. The remaining bases may also apply in certain circumstances.

If a basis on which I process your personal information is no longer relevant then I shall immediately stop processing your data. If the basis changes then if required by law I will notify you of the change and of any new basis under which I have determined that I can continue to process your information.

You can find out more about the bases for legitimate use of personal data at this page: http://www.knowyourprivacyrights.org/legitimate-uses/

5.1 Information I process because I have a contractual obligation with you

When you buy a product from me or otherwise agree to my terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and me. In order to carry out my obligations under that contract I must process the information you give me. Some of this information may be personal information. I may use it in order

  • to verify your identity for security purposes
  • to sell products to you.

I process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested I use the information before we enter into a legal contract.I shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

Additionally, I may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor my performance with respect to a particular service I provide. If I use it for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable.

5.2 Information I process with your consent

When you browse my website or ask me to provide you with more information about my business, including my products and services, you provide your consent to me to process information that may be personal information. Wherever possible, I aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to the use of cookies.

Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send me a message by e-mail to which you would reasonably expect me to reply.I continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

Except where you have consented to my use of your information for a specific purpose, I do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. I may aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor the performance of a particular page on my website.

5.3 Information I process for the purposes of legitimate interests

I may process information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to me, in doing so. Where I process your information on this basis, I do so after having given careful consideration to

  • whether the same objective could be achieved through other means
  • whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm
  • whether you would expect me to process your data, and whether you would, in the round, consider it reasonable to do so.

For example, I may process your data on this basis for the purposes of

  • record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of my business
  • responding to unsolicited communication from you to which I believe you would expect a response
  • protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party
  • insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage business risk
  • protecting your interests where I believe I have a duty to do so.

5.4 Information I process because I have a legal obligation

Sometimes, I must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation. For example, I may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order. This may include your personal information.

6.0 Complaining

When I receive a complaint, I record all the information you have given to me and use that information to resolve your complaint.

If your complaint reasonably requires me to contact some other person, I may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. It is a matter for my sole discretion as to whether I do give information, and if I do, what that information is.

I may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service I provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.
