We provide the opportunity to sign up for our monthly newsletter by providing your email address.
We have a responsibility to describe and demonstrate how we fulfil the requirements that are imposed on us when we Process your Personal Data. This section aims to give you an understanding of what type of Personal Data we Process and on what reasons.
We will keep your Personal Data as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Depending on the lawful basis on which we support the Processing, this may a) be regulated in a contract, b) be dependent on valid consent, c) be stated in legislation or d) follow by an internal assessment based on a legitimate interest assessment (LIA). In the list below, we indicate, where possible, the period during which the Personal Data will be stored and the criteria used to determine the storage period.
We never store your Personal Data longer than necessary and delete Personal Data regularly. Neon Century also takes reasonable actions to keep the Personal Data being Processed updated and to delete outdated and otherwise incorrect or redundant Personal Data.
The main purpose of the data processing undertaken by us is to provide, carry out and improve our services to you. There are several different reasons why we may need to collect, manage and save your data.
We mainly Process the following types of Personal Data:
We collect your Personal Data in a number of different ways. We mainly get access to your Personal Data:
In order for us to be able to process your Personal Data, it is required that we have so-called legal basis for each process. In our business, we process your personal data mainly on the following grounds:
Performance of a contract – The Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract entered between us and the Data Subject, or to prepare for entering into an agreement with the Data Subject.
Legitimate interest – Neon Century may process Personal Data if we have assessed that a legitimate interest overrides the interest of fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject, and if the processing is necessary for the purpose in question.
You are the one in control of your Personal Data and we always strive to ensure that you can exercise your rights as efficiently and smoothly as possible.
Access – You always have the right to receive information about the Processing of data that concerns you. We only provide information if we have been able to verify that it is you that are requesting the information.
Rectification – If you think that any of your Personal Data that we process is incorrect, let us know and we will fix it!
Erasure – Do you want us to completely forget about you? You have the right to be forgotten and request deletion of your Personal Data when the Processing is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. If we are required to retain your information under applicable law or a contract that we have entered with you, we will ensure that it is processed only for the specific purpose set forth in such applicable law or contract. We will thereafter erase the information as soon as possible.
Objections – Do you disagree with our assessment that a legitimate interest for Processing your Personal Data overrides your interest in protecting your privacy? Don’t worry – in such case, we will review our legitimate interest assessment. Of course, we add your objection to the balance and make a new assessment to see if we can still justify our Processing of your Personal Data. If you object to direct marketing, we will immediately delete your personal information without making an assessment.
Restriction – You can also ask us to restrict our Processing of your Personal Data:
Data portability – We may provide you with the data that you have submitted to us or that we have received from you in connection with a contract that we have entered with you. You will receive your information in a commonly used and machine-readable format that you can transfer to another personal data manager.
Withdraw consent – If you have given consent to one or several specific Processing(s) of your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time and thus ask us to terminate the Processing immediately. Please note that you can only withdraw your consent for future Processing of Personal Data and not for Processing that has already taken place.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please Contact us at enquiries@neoncentury.com.
In order to run our business, we may need help from others who will process Personal Data on our behalf, so-called Processors.
In cases where our Processors transfer Personal Data outside the UK, we have ensured that the level of protection is adequate, and in compliance with Applicable Law, by ensuring that one of the following requirements is fulfilled:
We have entered into Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all our Processors. Each DPA sets out, among other things, how the Processor may process the Personal Data and what security measures are required for the Processing.
We may also need to disclose your personal information to certain designated authorities in order to fulfill obligations under applicable law or legally binding judgements.
Neon Century does not sell your Personal Data to third parties and of course we do not share your Personal Data with just anyone. However, in some cases we may need to share your Personal Data with selected third parties. If so, we make sure that the transfer happens in a secure way that protects your privacy. To follow are categories of recipients with whom we may share your data.
Neon Century has taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that your Personal Data is processed securely and protected from loss, abuse and unauthorised access. Organisational measures are measures that are implemented in work methods and routines within our organisation. Technical measures are measures implemented through technical solutions.
