Introduction

This policy is for people whose personal information we use as part of Big Little London Limited business.

Whenever we collect personal information we will be up front about this and will explain what we intend to do with it. We will also give you clear options regarding the ways in which your personal information is used.  

Below we explain how Big Little London Limited uses (and protects) personal information – including information from the use of our website and participating in campaigns organised by Big Little London Limited and our clients. Consequently, please read the following carefully to understand how we use your personal information and, importantly, how we protect your rights.

  • to provide you with problem solutions or to contact or send you notifications related specifically to the services we offer you
  • to analyse and continually improve the services we offer, or our website

To manage our relationship with you as an existing client

  • to keep our accounts, records and databases accurate and relevant
  • to provide you with information relating to our products or services (for example, confirming a meeting, reminding you of an upcoming event or letting you know about changes that may affect you)

To market our products and related services to you

If you have opted in, provided your explicit consent, or we can process your personal information data under legitimate interest, we may send marketing communications to you about our products and services where:

  • we believe the products and services may be of interest to you

We collect and process children’s personal information solely for the purpose of providing our services and ensuring their safety and well-being while engaging with us. We do not use their personal information for marketing purposes without the explicit consent  of the child if they are 13 years or older, or from a parent or legal guardian if the child is under 13 years old.

To protect our business and ensure compliance with the law

We may use your personal information to:

  • Fulfil our legal obligations to regulators and official authorities
  • Exercise our legal rights (including in relation to legal proceedings)
  • In addition, we sometimes have to use personal information to detect and reduce fraud.

Legal ground for our use of your personal information  

We process personal information only when we have a valid legal ground to do so. Most frequently, we use your personal information where:

  • it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or the legitimate interests of a third party). If you are a business proprietor, senior stake holder or other staff member of a business we do not have a contract with, we will use the legitimate interests of our business for marketing communications. We will always consider your rights and your privacy before using your personal information for the purposes of our business. Where your rights or privacy override our business interests, we will not use your personal information.
  • it is necessary to process your personal information in connection with the performance of a contract that we have with you directly or indirectly

Importantly, if you do not provide us with enough personal information, we may not be able to enter into or fulfil a contract with you.

  • it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if a regulator or official authority asks us for your personal information)
  • you have provided us your consent or opted-in to receiving one of our newsletters. If we collect information for one purpose and then intend to use it for a different purpose, we will seek your consent to do so and/or inform you where necessary or appropriate.  
  • you are a child under 13 years old and have parental consent (we require parental or legal guardian consent before collecting any personal information from children. Parents or legal guardians have the right to withdraw their consent at any time).

Automated decision making

We do not use automated decision making on our website.

Whom we share your personal information with

To run our business efficiently, we sometimes will have to share your personal information with other (trusted) parties such as:

  • Service providers, vendors, subcontractors or freelancers under contract who assist us with business operations or provide product functionality on behalf of BIG little LDN. Examples include: storage of your personal information and administration of email, calendar; payment processors; hosting providers; accounting services providers and software development and delivery solutions providers.  
  • Professional advisors from other industries, such as law and finance. In order to protect BIG little LDN’s rights or the rights of third parties, BIG little LDN may share information with legal counsel, auditors, and related service providers in the course of evaluating or pursuing potential claims involving enforcement of the Company’s or third parties’ contractual and other legal rights. BIG little LDN will take steps to ensure that we disclose only the information necessary for the specific purpose and impose confidentiality obligations and use restrictions consistent with this policy where appropriate. 
  • Freelancers and contractors hired to work on a contract subject to the requirements under this privacy policy and applicable laws.
  • Law enforcement, government officials, regulator or other third parties and when we are obliged to do so by law (e.g., via a subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure).

We take reasonable steps to ensure that such recipients secure data in accordance with good information security and as per the requirements of this privacy policy. We review all vendors and enter into a data processing agreements whenever necessary.

We practice data minimisation so we will only use data suppliers to process your personal data when required.

When required under applicable law, we may provide you with a list of our suppliers upon request.

International data transfers of your personal information

At this point we do not process your personal information outside of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). Should your personal information move outside the EU or the EEA or from another country that restricts transfers of personal information, we use the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses (as may be amended from time to time) or other locally-compliant transfer mechanisms outside the EU/EEA, such as consent or local transfer agreements to ensure that an adequate or a same level of protection is applied to your personal information as the one afforded in the country of origin.

How long we keep your personal information

To help Big little London operate our service and meet our legal obligations we will store your personal information in accordance with law or for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for the processing. To comply with this, we have regular reviews where we assess our data protection and privacy work with the intention to amend, update and, if necessary, delete personal information when it is no longer needed.

We will only hold information for a longer or shorter period where we are under a legal obligation  (for example, to comply with tax, labour laws or any other relevant applicable laws and regulations), to resolve disputes, and to enforce our legal agreements and policies.

How we protect and store your personal information

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We take legal, technical and organisational measures that we consider necessary in order to maintain the confidentiality and security of your personal information, with due regard to the applicable obligations and exceptions under the legislation in force.

These safeguards include for instance monitoring and auditing of our IT infrastructure, encryption of files in transit and at rest, strong password policies, limiting access to personal information to personnel with a legitimate business purpose, and data protection training for the company’s personnel.

We regularly review our policies regarding the collection, storage and processing of your personal information, including physical security measures, to prevent alteration, loss, query, use or fraudulent or unauthorised access of your personal information.

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