Privacy policy

The policy below sets out the personal information we process and why, how we get it, how we store it and your rights around this. It’s all necessarily formal to make sure we cover things properly.

Before the detail, know that we start from a position of being respectful of your information, hold what we need to act effectively and our approach is to treat your information as we’d expect others to look after ours. If you have a concern or question, please contact us using the details shown below.

The type of personal information we collect

We currently collect and process the following information:

• Personal identifiers, contacts and characteristics (for example, name and contact details) to help us communicate with our team, clients, suppliers and people interested in working with us.
• Financial information (for example, bank account details) to help us pay the people who work for us and provide services.
• Transaction details of the payments made from and to you.
• Technical and usage data relating to your interactions with us and the services we provide online (for example, login data or internet protocol (IP) address) to help provide our services and improve them.
• Marketing and communications preferences so we know what marketing you’re happy to receive from us (for example, recording that you’d like to hear about new jobs at Brookbanks).

How we get the personal information and why we have it

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the following reasons:

• Working for us: we hold personal information on our team and those applying for roles to join the team.
• Working with us: we hold details of our clients, suppliers and other parties to help us carry out our work and make sure we deliver this effectively and efficiently.

We also receive personal information indirectly, from the following sources in the following scenarios:

• Through our work with clients: we sometimes need to process personal information to support our clients’ activities and provide agreed services.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

• (a) Your consent. You are able to remove your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting hello@brookbanks.com.
• (b) We have a contractual obligation.
• (c) We have a legitimate interest.

How we store your personal information

Your information is securely stored.

We keep personal information based on who this relates to (for example, team, client or supplier) and then, after work ceases, based on legal requirements.

We’ll hold personal information for six years after the tax year in which an employee worked with us or a business worked with us as a client or supplier.

We will then dispose of your information by removing you from the systems we use to store your information.
