How we use your information

We will use the information that we collect about you for the following purposes:

  • Delivery of a service or services requested by you of us
  • Customer feedback collection
  • Support
  • Enforce Terms & Conditions
  • Marketing / Promotional

If we want to use your information for any other purpose, we will ask you for consent and will use your information only on receiving your consent and then, only for the purpose(s) for which you have granted consent unless we are required to do otherwise by law.

Legal Basis for collection and processing your information

The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which we may collect and process your personal data in certain circumstances, including:

Consent

We can collect and process your data with your consent.

For example, if you have given your consent to receiving marketing material from us at the point we collected your information.

Contractual obligations

We need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations.

For example, where you have provided us with your email address so that you or your employer can receive our services, we will use this information in order to effectively deliver and communicate our services.

Legal compliance

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.

For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting us to applicable law enforcement.

Legitimate interest

We may require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom, or interests.

For example, it is in our legitimate interests to ensure that content from our website is presented in the most effective manner for you and your computer and we provide you with the information, products, and services that you request from us.

Our promotional updates and communications

Where permitted in our legitimate interest or with your prior consent where required by law, we will use your personal information for marketing analysis and to provide you with promotional update communications by email about our products/services.

You can object to further marketing at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the end of all our marketing and promotional update communications to you, or by sending us an email to mclaren.news@mclarengroup.com.

You can also request that we send marketing material to a non-personal email address instead of one that identifies you as an individual.

Who we share your information with

We may share your personal data with:

  • Any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, who support our processing of personal data under this policy. [If any of these parties are using your information for direct marketing purposes, we will only transfer the information to them for that purpose with your prior consent].
  • Appropriate third parties including:
    undefined
  • In relation to information obtained via our website:
    undefined

Other disclosures we may make

We will disclose your personal information to third parties:

  • If we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we will disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
  • If McLaren Group or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets. In such a case, we would notify you as a data subject of this handover of responsibility and data to the new data controller.
  • If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our supply terms and other agreements with you or the company you work for; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of McLaren Construction, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction and to prevent cybercrime.

Where do we store your information?

Our primary data storage locations are within the UK and European Economic Area (“EEA”).

In some cases, the data that we process in relation to you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA that may not be subject to equivalent data protection law. It may also be processed by staff situated outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers.

We may transfer your personal information outside the EEA:

  • To store it.
  • In order to enable us to provide goods or services to and fulfil our contract with you or the company your work for. This includes order fulfilment, processing of payment details, and the provision of support services.
  • Where we are legally required to do so.
  • To facilitate the operation of our group of businesses, where it is in our legitimate interests and we have concluded these are not overridden by your rights.

Where your information is transferred outside the EEA, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as relying on a recognised legal adequacy mechanism which may include contracts or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and that it is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Retention of your information

We will retain your personal information for as long as we need it to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected as detailed in this Privacy Policy. We may need to retain certain information for longer periods such as record-keeping / reporting in accordance with applicable law or for other legitimate reasons like enforcement of legal rights, fraud prevention, etc. Residual anonymous information and aggregate information, neither of which identifies you (directly or indirectly), may be stored indefinitely.

Security

The security of your information is important to us. We will use reasonable security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, or unauthorised access to your information under our control. This includes aligning to industry best practices and standards such as NIST, NCSC, Cyber Essentials, and ISO27001. However, given the inherent risks, we cannot guarantee absolute security and consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

Third-party links & use of your information

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not address the privacy policy and other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any website or service that may be accessible via a link on the Service. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

  • to be provided with a copy of your personal data held by us;
  • to request the rectification or erasure of your personal data held by us;
  • to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data (while we verify or investigate your concerns with this information, for example);
  • to object to the further processing of your personal data, including the right to object to marketing;
  • to request that your provided personal data be moved to a third party.

Your right to withdraw consent:

Where the processing of your personal information by us is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent without detriment at any time by contacting us at mclaren.news@mclarengroup.com.
