How Signcode may use your personal data
Email sign up
We ask for your first name, last name and email address when you register to receive email newsletter updates including marketing and promotions. You will only get these updates if you have given consent to receiving them on sign up. You may opt out at any time by unsubscribing from the email via the “unsubscribe” link, or by requesting to be removed by emailing info@signcodeuk.com.
Subscription services/Training courses
When you become a member of SigncodeUK C.I.C.’s subscription service, we ask for your name, email and payment information in order to process your payment and grant you access to the training materials. These will also be used to issue your certificate upon completion of your course. Payment information is processed through PayPal, so SigncodeUK C.I.C. does not store your bank details on our servers. To understand more about how your payment information is collected, stored and used, please refer to the privacy policy and user agreement published by PayPal.
Third parties
SigncodeUK C.I.C. may share general, aggregate data with third parties, for example, we share Wistia video analytics with iBSL, Mersey Care and our interpreter partners.
Surveys
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about conferences and trade shows).
When we carry out a survey, the results are aggregated and shared with our interpreter partners. Your identity cannot be determined from this data.
Our survey data is collected anonymously to find out more about people’s experiences of BSL access. We do not keep individual replies once they have been collated within 4-6 weeks of receiving a survey response. We only store collated results thereafter. Individuals cannot be identified from collated information.
Marketing
We may from time to time send emails announcing new SigncodeUK C.I.C. products and services. Except as stated above, SigncodeUK C.I.C. will not send you e-mail that you have not agreed to receive.
Please note: SigncodeUK creates videos and other BSL products for our clients which display our logo alongside the client’s logo. When you are using our clients’ products and they ask for your personal information, it is they who store and process your data, not SigncodeUK, so you should read their privacy policy to find out how they use your personal information.
Clients
We keep data on file regarding our clients so we can provide our service in line with our contractual obligations.
We retain our clients’ data for 12 months after the contract has ended, after which time, it will be deleted securely – See “Retention and Disposal of Personal Data” below. We will remove all your data from our servers, email lists and
CRM databases.
