5. Website logs and security
Our web servers may automatically record technical information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring website and information about the pages or resources requested.
We use this information to help maintain the security, performance and reliability of our website and to understand general patterns of website usage.
We do not routinely attempt to identify individual website visitors from this information.
However, we may investigate and attempt to identify individuals where there is a reasonable suspicion of unauthorised access, attempted unauthorised access, fraud, misuse of our systems or other activity that may compromise the security of our website, systems or services.
We retain appropriate access and security logs for as long as necessary for these purposes and in accordance with our data retention requirements.
6. Cookies and analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that allow a website to recognise your device and, depending on their purpose, remember preferences, maintain functionality or provide information about how the website is being used.
We use:
Essential cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, maintain security or provide services that you have requested. These cookies may be used without consent where they are strictly necessary.
For example, our website may use a PHP session cookie (PHPSESSID) to maintain a user’s session. This cookie does not, by itself, contain personal information.
Analytics cookies
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, including information such as website traffic, pages visited and general patterns of visitor behaviour.
Analytics cookies are non-essential cookies and will only be placed where you have provided the appropriate consent.
The specific cookies used by our website may change as our website, analytics services or cookie-management systems are updated. We will keep our cookie information under review and provide appropriate information about the cookies in use.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie controls provided on our website.
Non-essential cookies will not be placed on your device before the appropriate consent has been obtained.
7. Who we may share your information with
We will not sell your personal information.
We may share personal information where this is necessary and lawful, including with:
- Employees and authorised representatives of Pave Aways who need the information to carry out their duties.
- Contractors, subcontractors, consultants and other professional advisers involved in providing our services or managing our business.
- IT, website hosting, software, analytics and other service providers who process information on our behalf.
- Professional advisers, including legal, financial, insurance and accounting advisers.
- Regulators, government bodies and other authorities where we are legally required to do so.
- Law enforcement agencies where this is necessary or legally required.
- Potential purchasers or other parties involved in a proposed sale, merger, restructuring or transfer of all or part of our business.
Where we use third-party service providers to process personal information on our behalf, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the information is handled securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
Where appropriate, information may be anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.
8. International transfers
Some of the organisations we use to provide services to us may process information outside the UK.
Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
9. How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless we are required or permitted by law to keep it for longer.
The length of time information is retained will depend on the type of information and why we hold it.
For employment and other working relationships, records may be retained during the relationship and afterwards where necessary for legal, regulatory, contractual or business purposes. In some circumstances, records may be retained for up to seven years or longer where there is a legitimate legal or regulatory reason to do so.
Where appropriate, we may anonymise information so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual. Anonymised information may then be retained and used without further notice.
10. Keeping your information secure
We have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to protect personal information against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
Access to personal information is limited to people who have a genuine business need to access it. Anyone authorised to process personal information is required to do so appropriately and is subject to confidentiality obligations.
We also maintain procedures for dealing with suspected data security breaches and will notify affected individuals and the Information Commissioner’s Office where we are legally required to do so.
11. Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you have rights under data protection legislation including the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request erasure of your personal information where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it.
- Object to processing where we are relying on legitimate interests, or where we are processing your information for direct marketing purposes.
- Request restriction of the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
- Request transfer of your personal information to another organisation in certain circumstances.
- Withdraw consent where we are relying on your consent to process your information.
These rights are subject to certain exemptions and conditions under data protection legislation, so they will not apply in every circumstance.
Keeping your information accurate
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up to date.
If your information changes, please let us know so that we can update our records.
12. How to exercise your rights
If you wish to access, correct or request deletion of your personal information, object to its processing, request restriction or portability, or withdraw consent, please contact us.
For employment-related personal information, you can contact our HR Manager at:
We may need to request additional information from you to confirm your identity before responding to a request. This is an appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to someone who does not have the right to receive it.
We will normally respond to a valid request without charging a fee. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with a request where it is clearly unfounded or excessive, where permitted by law.
13. Complaints
If you have a question or concern about how we use your personal information, please contact us in the first instance so that we have the opportunity to resolve it.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s independent data protection regulator.
Further information about making a complaint is available from the ICO at:
Information Commissioner’s Office – Make a complaint
