We understand that your privacy is important to you and that you care about how your personal data is used. We respect and value the privacy of everyone who visits this website, globalmobilityjourneys.com (“Our Site”), and will only collect and use personal data in ways that are described here, and in a way that is consistent with our obligations and your rights under the law. Please read this Privacy and Cookies Policy carefully and ensure that you understand it.
In this Policy the following terms shall have the following meanings:
"Cookie"
means a small text file placed on your computer or device by our Site when you visit certain parts of our Site and/or when you use certain features of our Site; and
"Cookie Law"
means the relevant parts of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003.
Our Site is owned and operated by Global Mobility Journeys Limited, trading as GMJ, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 12051460 and whose registered office address is at 15-17 Middle StreetBrighton, BN1 1AL, UK.
This Privacy and Cookies Policy applies only to your use of our Site. Our Site may contain links to other websites. We have no control over how your data is collected, stored or used by other websites and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites before providing any data to them.
“Personal data” is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, the “Data Protection Legislation”) as “any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier”.
Personal data is therefore any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:
It is important your personal data is kept accurate and up to date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep us informed as long as we have that data.
Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Depending upon your use of our Site, we may collect and hold some or all of the personal data set out in the table below, using the methods also set out in the table. We do not collect any “special category” or “sensitive” personal data, personal data relating to children or data relating to criminal convictions and/or offences.
| Data collected | How we collect the data |
|---|---|
| Identity information including your name | Through signup forms |
| Contact information including your email address | Through signup forms |
| Business information including your company name and job title | Through signup forms |
Under the Data Protection Legislation, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. The following table describes how we may use your personal data, and our lawful bases for doing so:
| What we do | What data we use | Our lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Supplying our products and/or services to you | Supplying our products and/or services to you | Consent and contract |
| Communicating with you | Your name and email address | Consent |
| Supplying you with information by email that you have opted-in-to | Your name and email address | Consent |
With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email with information, news, and offers on our products and/or services. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under the Data Protection Legislation and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out.
We will only use your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected unless we reasonably believe that another purpose is compatible with that or those original purpose(s) and need to use your personal data for that purpose.
If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is unrelated to, or incompatible with, the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, we will inform you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
In some circumstances, where permitted or required by law, we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent. This will only be done within the bounds of the Data Protection Legislation and your legal rights.
We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your personal data will therefore be kept for the following periods (or, where there is no fixed period, the following factors will be used to determine how long it is kept):
| Type of Data | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Identity information including your name | No fixed period – We will hold your information for as long as your account remains active with us. Please contact us to request deletion of your account on our system. |
| Contact information including your email address | No fixed period – We will hold your information for as long as your account remains active with us. Please contact us to request deletion of your account on our system. |
| Business information including your company name and job title | No fixed period – We will hold your information for as long as your account remains active with us. Please contact us to request deletion of your account on our system. |
We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”, which consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the United Kingdom and/or the EEA. This means we will take additional steps to ensure your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the Data Protection Legislation as follows:
The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data we take a number of important measures, including:
We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to the following exceptions.
If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Any new owner of our business may continue to use your personal data in the same way(s) that we have used it, as specified in this Privacy and Cookies Policy.
In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.
In addition to your rights under the Data Protection Legislation, set out in Part 5, when you submit personal data via our Site, you may be given options to restrict our use of your personal data. In particular, we aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails).
You may access our Site without providing any personal data at all. However, to use all features and functions available on our Site you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data.
You may restrict our use of Cookies. For more information, see Part 14.
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 15.
We do not normally charge for a subject access request. However, if your request is “manifestly unfounded or excessive” (for example, if you make repetitive requests) we may charge a fee to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, we may require more time (up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request).
