Finally, if our business enters into a joint venture with or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new business partners or owners.

Countries outside the European Economic Area do not always have strong data protection laws. However, we will always take appropriate steps to ensure that your information is used by third parties in accordance with this policy.

The legal grounds we use for processing personal data

 

We are required by law to set out in this privacy policy the legal grounds on which we rely in order to process your personal data. We rely on one or more of the following lawful grounds:

• the processing is necessary to perform the agreement we have with you or to take steps to enter into an agreement with you;
• the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation we have such as keeping records for tax purposes or providing information to a public body or law enforcement agency; or

  (a) to provide our services to you or our clients and other third parties and ensure that our client engagements are well-managed; (b) to prevent fraud; (c) to protect our business interests; (d) to ensure that complaints are investigated; (e) to evaluate, develop or improve our services or products; or (f) to keep you or our clients informed about relevant products and services and provide you with information, unless you have indicated at any time that you do not wish us to do so.
• To the extent that we process any special categories of data relating to you for any of the purposes outlined above, we will do so because either: (i) you have given us your explicit consent to process that data; (ii) we are required by law to process that data in order to comply with our legal obligations; (iii) the processing is necessary to carry out our obligations under employment, social security or social protection law; (iv) the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or (v) you have made the data manifestly public.

 

Do we use cookies?

 

Yes. A ‘cookie’ is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user’s computer by the user’s web browser while the user is browsing. When you visit a site that uses cookies for the first time, a cookie is downloaded onto your computer/mobile device so that the next time you visit that site, your device will remember useful information such as items added in the shopping cart, visited pages or logging in options.

Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, and our site and services rely on cookies to optimise user experience, to keep track of advertisements and for features and services to function properly.

Most web browsers allow some control to restrict or block cookies through the browser settings, however if you disable cookies you may find this affects your ability to use certain parts of our website or services. For more information about cookies visit https://www.aboutcookies.org.

 

This website uses Google AdWords

 

This website uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Púca website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.

You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want you can opt out of interest-based advertising entirely by updating your cookie settings.

 

Subject Access Requests and Corrections

 

You may request a copy of your data held by us as data controller by sending an email to dataprotection@puca.com, specifying the information you wish to access e.g. your contact number or email address. You can use the same process for data corrections. We can then provide you with a copy of the data retained by us – normally within one month of the request by you. There is no charge to access your data however we may also ask for proof of ID in order to verify your access request. All access requests should be addressed to dataprotection@puca.com

Please note that for security and verification purposes, if you are the customer of one of our clients for whom we act as a data processor, you must submit the access request to the client directly, and they will request the information from us accordingly.
