  1. Who are we?

Social Business International Ltd. (“SBI”, Company No. 7007166) is the data controller (contact details below) and we collect the data. As data controller we decide how your information is processed and for what purposes as set out below.

  1. Your information (personal data) – what is it?

For individuals who choose to have a relationship with SBI, such as members of our Social Enterprise Leaders’ Club, members of our Bold Commissioners’ Club, our sponsorship partners, those who are involved in events we run and those who may be interested in our events, the information (or personal data) that may identify you that we collect, record, organise, store, share, destroy and make use of may include:

We may collect some of the following sensitive personal information (also known as special categories of data) in order to deliver our services, including gender, race and ethnic group.

The above may not be exhaustive and we do not necessary hold all of this information for everyone.

We will apply additional security and confidentiality measurers when processing your sensitive personal information.

You provide us with your information through a number of routes:

  • From you directly, verbally or through completing forms for our services (e.g. membership applications and/or booking forms for our events)

  • By completing our surveys or questionnaires, if you choose to say who you are
  • Publically available directories of information (e.g. telephone directory, social media and internet or other commercially-available sources)
  • By visiting our website or signing up to receive our social media output or view our online advertisements (e.g. your internet protocol (IP) address, browser details, operating system, pages on the site you viewed or searched and information on how you interacted with the site).
  1. Why do we have this data – what is the legal basis?

We use this data to ensure we can provide you with high-quality service.

By law we need to have a lawful basis for processing your personal data which will be:

  • Where it is needed to provide you with our products or services, for example to carry out a contractual agreement
  • Where it is in our legitimate interest to do so to improve our services and keep our customers and staff safe
  • To comply with our legal/regulatory obligations (e.g. Health and Safety and HMRC tax requirements)
  • With your consent. This may be the case for some direct marketing communications with third-party service providers for co-promotions or other joint programs. If we need to ask for your permission, we will offer you a clear choice and ask that you confirm to us that you consent. We will also explain clearly to you what we need the data for and how you can withdraw your consent.

We process your sensitive personal information to ensure services are delivered appropriately and to monitor equality, diversity and inclusion as required by law.

  • To derive statistics which inform decisions and are published (e.g. in our Annual Report) and used in fundraising applications we make to a wide range of bodies and/or individuals and for the evaluation of grant or other funded programmes
  • To assess and manage performance and set standards/targets
  • To improve the performance of our services, communication and overall business, including developing new services
  • To comply with legal or regulatory obligations and guidance, including equal opportunities.

We do not sell, lease or distribute your personal information to marketing companies outside of SBI.

  1. Sharing your personal data

Your personal data is treated as strictly confidential and will only be shared with third parties to fulfil any legal obligations on us, to protect or defend SBI or to enforce our Terms and Conditions. Examples include HMRC (in respect of employment details), Health & Safety Executive, our insurers/professional advisors, and/or RIDDOR in the case of relevant incidents.

In addition, we share email addresses with MailChimp to provide occasional newsletters; details of their privacy notice can be found at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy

Your personal data will not be transferred to countries or territories outside the European Economic Area (the EEA).

  1. How long do we retain your data?

We will retain your personal data for as long as we have a reasonable business need, for as long as a claim can be brought against us, or for retention periods as set out in legal or regulatory requirements or guidance.

  1. Your rights and your personal data

You have the following rights with respect to your personal data under data protection as set out in the GDPR. It should be noted that GDPR does not apply to information already in the public domain. You can find out more about your individual rights from the ICO’s website. In summary you can:

  1. What about links and cookies?

Our website may contain links to and from the websites of third party sites. SBI does not control these third party sites.

SBI website may also have ‘plug-ins’ (such as the Twitter button and Eventbrite ticketing) to third party sites or to offer login through a third party account. Third party plug-ins and login features, including their loading, operation and use, are governed by the privacy notices and terms of the third parties providing them.

SBI accepts no responsibility nor liability should you choose to use links, plug-ins, or login features – we encourage you to read the privacy notices of those providers.

Cookies make websites work better. They collect information about your usage and the website uses them to help make your visits more effective. Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our site.

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:

  • enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task
  • recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every web page requested
  • measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there’s enough capacity to ensure they are fast

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

The following services make use of cookies on our site: Google Analytics, Vimeo and Twitter.

  1. Changes to this Privacy Notice

We may make changes to this Privacy Notice from time to time in order to reflect changes in the law and/or our privacy practices. We encourage you to check the current version will always be available on our website.

If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, not covered by this Privacy Notice, then we will publish a new notice explaining this new use prior to commencing the processing and setting out the relevant purposes and processing conditions. Where and whenever necessary, we will seek your consent prior to the new processing.
