Website Privacy Policy

This policy sets out how Presscare (UK) Limited uses and protects your personal information, including data from the use of our website.

Presscare (UK) Limited is the Data Controller for personal data about its customers, event attendees and events subscribers. For the purposes of this document we will use the group term 'customers' to describe any one of these groups.

We do not trade personal data for commercial purposes and will only disclose it if required by law, if it is necessary to arrange your event attendance, or if it is with your consent. Presscare (UK) Limited uses providers based in the European Economic Area to process customer data.

This policy was updated in July 2018 to show we are adhering to the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force on 25th May 2018.

The cookies contain an ID number which is used to uniquely identify your browser and track each site you visit that has GA enabled.

We use this data to determine the number of people using our site and to better understand how they find and use our web pages. With this information we can continually improve the information we provide on our site and the processes for actions such as contacting us. We can also use it to increase the number of new people finding our site.

Facebook users

You may come across Presscare (UK) Limited on Facebook through your own networks, or you may be presented with an ad from us. Facebook is a hugely valuable tool which is why we use the platform. Facebook however is a commercial company and we want to remind our users that information shared on timelines may be used or sold by Facebook for commercial purposes.

Event attendees

When you attend an event where we are exhibiting, we may need your name and email address to provide you with further information regarding our services. We will use this information solely for the purpose of providing you with details of our services.

Employees and job applicants

If you apply to work at Presscare (UK) Limited, we will only use the information you give us to process your application and to monitor recruitment statistics. If we want to disclose information to someone outside Presscare (UK) Limited, for example, if we need a reference, we will make sure we tell you beforehand, unless we are required to disclose this information by law.

If you are unsuccessful in your job application, we will hold your personal information for 12 months after we've finished recruiting the post you applied for. After this date we will destroy or delete your information. We may keep de-personalised statistical information about applicants to develop our recruitment processes, but this does not contain any information that could be used to identify individual job applicants.

If you begin employment with us, we will put together a file about your employment. We keep the information in this file secure and will only use it for matters that apply directly to your employment. Once you stop working for us, we will keep this file according to our record retention guidelines. You can contact us to find out more about this.
