We have recently updated our Privacy Policy in line with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) document “Preparing for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)”.
Our legal basis for data processing is of legitimate interest. As part of our work, we collect contact details for journalists so that we can inform them of relevant news (e.g. published research, new product launches, company news etc.) for our clients in the healthcare sector. The legitimate business reasons we use data include issuing:
- Company, product and charity press releases
- Invitations to press events, conferences and meetings
- To highlight any spokespeople or media case studies who may be of interest on a specific industry theme or topic that you deem relevant to the journalists remit etc.
- Press trips may require your personal details to be stored by the company to help with the travel arrangements etc
Data
Trinity PR has assessed and reviewed the personal data it holds. All information is securely stored on Trinity PR’s database and information is regularly audited. All contacts have the “Right to be Informed” of how we will be processing their personal data. All data is handled in compliance with the ICO “Privacy Notices Code of Practice” which reflect the new requirements of the GDPR and is not kept for longer than required for the intended purposes. We never share our database details with other organisations.
Trinity PR understands Individuals’ rights in line with GDPR and has a system in place to locate and delate personal data. If we are made aware of any changes to personal data, this will be updated within 24 hours.
Human Resources
For members of staff at Trinity PR, there is a legal obligation to process personal information for a number of purposes including payroll, pensions, insurance, notifying HMRC of employment status and ensuring health and safety requirements are met.
Data breaches
Trinity PR has a procedure in place to detect, report and investigate any personal data breaches.
Direct and e-mail Marketing
Trinity PR do not currently undertake direct marketing. If this changes then individuals need to actively and knowingly give consent to the marketing. Boxes cannot be “pre-ticked”. E-mail marketing, especially B2C, needs to contain unsubscribe options in messages.
