Axxsys CRM Privacy Statement

Personal Data – Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement lays out how Axxsys treats client personal data (where ‘client’ refers to all of the following; client organisation, TPA or Vendor, or third party such as recruitment agencies and industry bodies), and what rights Axxsys’ clients have in relation to this information.

In respect of the processing of your personal data in line with this Privacy Statement, Axxsys and certain other local Axxsys entities act as a controller for the personal data they process and comply with the associated requirements as laid out under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and other data protection laws and regulations which apply to them. The controlling entities will be Axxsys Limited and the local office in your region. Further detail on relevant Axxsys offices is provided in section 1.10.

1.1. Categories of personal data

Axxsys collects limited personal data on its clients; and this primarily encompasses the following types of information:

contact and organisation related material such as an individual’s work email and business role;
business communications, such as email exchanges or in-person meetings.

1.2. Sources of personal data

We collect your personal data during the course of your dealings with us. For example, when you engage with us in respect of a project we are undertaking for your organisation. Otherwise, we gather information about you when you provide it to us, for example when you correspond with your contacts within Axxsys.

We may also receive information about you from other sources, such as directly from your organisation or via online resources including LinkedIn and other publicly available sources. We combine information about you from various sources, including the information that you have provided to us directly.

1.3. Purposes of processing

Axxsys collects client personal data for the following purposes:

to manage past, current and future business engagements;
to send information such as engagement related proposals and materials, industry relevant information (such as regulatory digest newsletters), event invitations;
direct marketing communications; and.
to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

1.4. Lawful basis for processing

Axxsys collects, uses, processes and discloses personal data in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. We process personal data on the following bases:

for legitimate business purposes, including ensuring that Axxsys (i) is able to maintain its relationships with existing clients, (ii) is able to manage past, current and future client engagements and (iii) to promote its services and products;

Where we use third parties to provide data hosting solutions, these transfers comply with relevant equivalent programmes, such as the EU-US Privacy Shield (frameworks developed to enable organisations to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union to third countries). When we transfer your personal data to any Axxsys affiliates based outside the EEA or any country considered “adequate” by the European Commission to a country that that is outside the EEA or an “adequate country”, we rely on an intra-group transfer agreement that incorporates EU Standard Contractual Clauses designed to protect your personal data.

Data relating to clients will be retained for the duration of the client relationship plus a further period to comply with certain obligations, legal requirements and best practices.

We will also retain your personal data for as long as necessary in connection with legal action or any investigations involving Axxsys.

These data hosting solutions comply with relevant equivalence programs such as the EU-US Privacy Shield (frameworks developed to enable organisations to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the EEA to third countries). When we transfer your personal data to any Axxsys affiliates based outside the EEA or any country considered “adequate” by the European Commission to a country that that is outside the EEA or an “adequate country”, we rely on an intra-group transfer agreement that incorporates EU Standard Contractual Clauses designed to protect your personal data. You may obtain information and a copy of the relevant mechanism relied on for the transfer of your personal data by contacting us via the details set out in the “Contact us” section below. You may also find a copy of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and related information at the Europa website (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en).

1.7. Retention period

Axxsys will only hold your personal data for as long as required to undertake the purposes of our processing, plus a prescribed period of time as required or permitted by national laws in your jurisdiction.

We hold personal data about contractors for the following periods:

contractor contact and CV data will be held by Axxsys for up to three years, at which point we contact individuals to ask whether they would still be interested in offering contractor services to Axxsys and update our records accordingly
Finance and certain other records will be retained for as long as necessary for Axxsys’ accounting purposes and to ensure that contractors are correctly remunerated for their time and expenses, [plus a period of 7 years in case any legal action arises relevant to this information].

We will also retain your personal data for as long as it is required in connection with legal action or any investigations involving Axxsys.
