We respect your privacy and seek to protect your personal data. The following information describes how we gather and use that data when you access our website, do business with us or apply for a job. The amount of information we hold on you and how we use it depends on your relationship with us and some of the sections below may not be relevant to you.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) impacts how organisations record, store and use personal data. This legislation is designed to give you, as ‘data subjects’, greater control and new rights over how we, as a ‘data controller’ (an organisation which holds your data which you may supply to us), record, store and use your data.

This privacy policy sets out our uses of personal data and our privacy practices.

OUR DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES:

  • We keep to a minimum the amount of information we hold about you.
  • The lawful bases that we rely on to process your data are:
Legitimate Interest: It is in our legitimate interest to process your personal data to enable us to operate our business and that legitimate interest is fairly balanced with your rights and freedoms. Contract: Our processing of your personal data is necessary to allow us to perform contracts for your benefit. Consent: Where our processing of personal data is not because of our legitimate interest or by way of performance of our contract, we may do so with your consent.
  • We only hold your data for as long as necessary.
  • We apply appropriate security mechanisms to protect your personal data.

We are happy to answer any questions you have about this Privacy Policy. Please email us at info@mdesignlondon.com.

We collect and update information about users of our services. We may obtain this information via direct contact with you, from third parties such as other users who refer you to us or automatically via your use of our services.

This information includes your contact details, registration and payment details, support problems, details around participation in events or surveys and certain relevant details of your communication preferences.
