  • To monitor and improve the performance of our content

MARKETING

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or if you provided us with your details and expressly consented to receiving that marketing.

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

We will never share your personal data with any company outside IQ-EQ for marketing purposes. You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by emailing news@iqeq.com.

COOKIES

This website uses cookies to support the technical performance or security of the website, to monitor how it is used and as part of links to third party platforms. Our cookie policy is available at www.iqeq.com/cookie-policy

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will not normally disclose personal data gathered via the website to third parties.  Where you click on links to external platforms, including content shared from or to social media platforms, your personal data may also be processed by that site.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Data that is processed via this website may be processed anywhere within the IQ-EQ Group, including in countries that offer different levels of privacy protection from those in your home country.

IQ-EQ applies global policies to how it processes and protects personal data, including implementing intragroup contractual clauses, making use of legal instruments such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. This ensure a consistent level of protection, wherever your personal data is processed.

DATA SECURITY 

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Sending information over the internet to us is generally not completely secure, and we can’t guarantee the security of your data while it’s in transit. We have procedures and security features in place to keep your data secure once we receive it.

DATA RETENTION 

How long will you use my information for?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.  We also consider any applicable legal requirements relating to time frames for the retention of data.
