1.2 Who is Your Data Controller?

​

​

2. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA COLLECTION

2.1 Types of Data / Privacy Policy Scope

​

“Personal Data” means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). For example, this Privacy Policy does not apply to data collected, stored, processed, and shared in an anonymised, non-personally identifiable and unattributable manner on behalf of Companies, Customers or Users when delivering our data collection & analytics Services to them.

We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of Personal Data about you which we have grouped together below. Not all of the following types of data will necessarily be collected from you but this is the full scope of data that we collect and when we collect it from you:

 

• Profile/Identity Data: This is data relating to your first name, last name, gender, date of birth.

• Contact Data: This is data relating to your phone number, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers.

• Marketing and Communications Data: This is your preference in receiving marketing information and other information from us.

• Technical & Usage Data: This is your IP address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to engage with us.

• Customer Support Data: This includes feedback and survey responses. Usage Data: Information about how you use our Website, products, and Services.

 

2.2 Aggregated Data

​

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data, an example would be, "the increase in the number of Users post covid was 50%". Aggregated Data could be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

​

We may also aggregate data to enable research or analysis so that we can better understand and serve you and others. For example, we may conduct research on your demographics and usage. Although this aggregated data may be based in part on Personal Data, it does not identify you personally. We may share this type of anonymous data with others, including service providers, our affiliates, agents, and current and prospective business partners.

​

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

​

2.3 The Legal Basis for Collecting That Data

​

There are a number of justifiable reasons under the GDPR that allow the collection and processing of Personal Data. The main avenues we rely on are:

• “Consent”: Certain situations allow us to collect your Personal Data, such as when you tick a box that confirms you are happy to receive email newsletters from us or ‘opt-in’ to a service.

• “Contractual Obligations”: We may require certain information from you in order to fulfil our contractual obligations and provide you with the promised service.

• “Legal Compliance”: We’re required by law to collect and process certain types of data, such as fraudulent activity or other illegal actions.

• “Legitimate Interest”: We might need to collect certain information from you to be able to meet our legitimate interests - this covers aspects that can be reasonably expected as part of running our business, that will not have a material impact on your rights, freedom or interests. Examples could be your address so that we know where to deliver something to, or your name, so that we have a record of whom to contact moving forward.

4.YOUR RIGHTS AND HOW YOU ARE PROTECTED BY US

​

4.1 What Control Do I Have Over TEXPERT AI LTD’s Use of My Personal Data?

​

You may delete your account at any time – this will remove your account page from our systems and our related Software. We do not guarantee the ability to delete all stored data. If you would like us to delete/correct personally identifiable data, let us know and we will action your request as soon as practicable.

​

Your account information will be protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to prevent unauthorised access to your account and personal information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. You have the option to enable Multi-Factor Authentication to further secure your identity and prevent unauthorised login to our Software.

​

You can access information associated with your account by logging into the account you created with us.

​

4.2 How Does TEXPERT AI LTD Protect Customers' Personal Data?

​

We are concerned with keeping your data secure and protecting it from inappropriate disclosure. Any Personal Data collected by us is only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to such systems and are bound by obligations of confidentiality. If and when we use subcontractors to store your data, we will not relinquish control of your Personal Data or expose it to security risks that would not have arisen had the data remained in our possession. However, unfortunately, no transmission of data over the internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of TEXPERT AI LTD to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your Personal Data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any Personal Data you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk. If you believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us.

​​

4.3 Opting Out of Marketing Promotions

​

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by sending an e-mail to info@texpertai.co.uk, Subject line: Opt-me Out.

​

4.4 How to Request your Data and the Process for Obtaining it

​

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights), just e-mail us at info@texpertai.co.uk. However, if your request is clearly unfounded, we could refuse to comply with your request. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure you have the right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. 

 

5. YOUR DATA AND THIRD PARTIES

​

5.1 Will We Share Your Data with Third Parties?

​

We may share non-Personal Data with third parties.

We may also share Personal Data with interested parties in the event that TEXPERT AI LTD anticipates a change in control or the acquisition of all or part of our business or assets or with interested parties in connection with the licensing of our technology.

​

If TEXPERT AI LTD is sold or makes a sale or transfer, we may, in our sole discretion, transfer, sell or assign your Personal Data to a third party as part of or in connection with that transaction. Upon such transfer, the Privacy Policy of the acquiring entity may govern the further use of your Personal Data. In all other situations, your data will still remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy (as amended from time to time).

​

We may share your Personal Data at any time if required for legal reasons or in order to enforce the terms of this Privacy Policy.

​

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as it is necessary for us to fulfil the purposes we collected it. We may retain your Personal Data for a longer period than usual in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation with respect to our relationship with you.

11. INTERPRETATION

​

All uses of the word "including" mean "including but not limited to" and the enumerated examples are not intended to in any way limit the term which they serve to illustrate. Any email addresses set out in this policy may be used solely for the purpose for which they are stated to be provided, and any unrelated correspondence will be ignored. Unless otherwise required by law, we reserve the right to not respond to emails, even if they relate to a legitimate subject matter for which we have provided an email address. As a matter of common sense, you are more likely to get a reply if your request or question is polite, reasonable and there is no relatively obvious other way to deal with or answer your concern or question (e.g. FAQs, other areas of our website, etc.).
