This privacy notice describes how CatalyticAction (“CatalyticAction” “we,” or “us”) collects and processes personal data about you, how we use and protect this information, and your rights in relation to this information. When we collect or process about you as part of our work, we are a ‘controller’ of your personal data, which means that we make decisions about the personal data we have collected from you.
1. Personal data we collect
We will collect personal data from you directly (e.g. when you contact us or provide information in connection with your participation in a project). The categories of information that we collect directly from you are:
We do not collect information about you from any other sources, including public sources.
2. How we use your personal data and the basis on which we use it
We must have a legal basis to process your personal data. In most cases the legal basis will be as necessary to perform our contract with you, i.e. to manage your engagement in our projects and communicate as reasonably necessary with you.
We may also process your personal data where this is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
We may also rely on legitimate interests to process your personal data for our legitimate business purposes, such as improving the services and administration. When we process personal data to meet our legitimate interests, we make sure we consider and balance any potential impacts on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data.
We may also rely on your consent to process your personal data or share it with certain third parties. If we rely on your consent, we will ask for it before sharing your personal data with such third parties and you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details in Section 8 (Contact Us) below. Your withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before the point at which you withdrew your consent.
3. Your rights over your personal data
You have certain rights regarding your personal data, subject to applicable law. These include the right to (a) confirm that we are processing your personal data, and how; (b) to access or rectify the personal data we keep about you; (c) to restrict, object to, or erase the processing of your personal data, e.g. where there is no longer a legal ground for us to hold it; and (d) in some circumstances, transfer/port any information we hold about you to a specified third party. You also have the right to lodge a complaint about our use of your personal data with the appropriate regulatory authority. You can find details of the ICO, the UK’s data protection regulator here.
