Why does Thexton Armstrong® process personal data?
Like any organisation, Thexton Armstrong® requires personal information to conduct its business. In addition, the nature of our services means that personal information is a necessary part of informing prospects and prospective Franchise partners and the advice that Thexton Armstrong® provides to its customers.
The law sets conditions for the processing of personal data. In this respect, lawfulness is an important principle. Thexton Armstrong® uses personal information only if one of the principles set forth in the law applies. Below are the various purposes for which Thexton Armstrong® processes personal data and the corresponding basis for such processing.
The basis on which Thexton Armstrong® processes virtually all personal data is the need to (properly) execute a contract or to prepare for the finalisation of a contract. This applies to all services provided by Thexton Armstrong® for its customers, the agreements with suppliers, the Franchise partners and all business operations that are necessary for that purpose.
In addition, Thexton Armstrong® processes personal data based on your consent, for example, to send you our newsletter.
For service, sales and marketing purposes, Thexton Armstrong® may process your personal information on the basis of a legitimate interest.
How do we manage your personal data?
Your personal data will be stored carefully and for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which the data was processed.
Within Thexton Armstrong®, your personal data will only be used by employees and (Associate & Master) Franchise partners, who require access in line with any agreement. All (Associate & Master) Franchise partners and employees work in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions and are bound by an obligation of confidentiality. Thexton Armstrong® does not sell your information to third parties and will only provide it if it is necessary for the execution of our agreement with you, or to comply with a legal obligation.
- Exchanges with strategic partners
Thexton Armstrong® works with strategic partners who are experts in their fields and who process personal data on our behalf. For example, our inbound marketing agency that supports us with Inbound Marketing. - Anonymising your personal data
Thexton Armstrong® may anonymise your personal information and then use it at an aggregated and anonymised level for research purposes and to optimise its service offerings and operations. The aggregated and anonymised data cannot be traced back to you as a person or your company.
Archiving terms
Thexton Armstrong® does not process or retain your personal information for longer than necessary. Thexton Armstrong® will destroy and/or anonymise your personal information immediately after the expiry of the storage period, unless it is required by law (e.g., tax law) to retain certain personal information for a longer period of time. In that case, only specific personal data will be stored for the statutory determined storage period.
Security measures and processors
Thexton Armstrong® has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information. This will protect your personal data from unauthorised or unlawful processing and from accidental loss, destruction or damage. Thexton Armstrong® uses third party services to process personal data, known as processors. These processors only process personal information on behalf of Thexton Armstrong®.
