1. Introduction

G7 Technical Solutions Ltd ("the Company") is committed to ensuring that all personal data is handled in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy outlines how we collect, process, store, and use personal data, particularly in relation to marketing activities.

2. Lawful Basis for Processing Personal Data

We will only collect and process personal data for marketing purposes where we have a lawful basis to do so. This may include:

• Consent – Where individuals have explicitly opted in to receive marketing communications.

• Legitimate Interests – Where we have identified a legitimate business interest and have conducted a balancing test to ensure that our marketing activities do not override the rights and freedoms of the data subject.

• Contractual Necessity – Where marketing communications are required to fulfil a service or agreement with a customer.
   

3. Collection of Personal Data for Marketing

Personal data collected for marketing purposes may include, but is not limited to:

• Name and job title

• Business contact details (email address, phone number, company address)

• Preferences and interests related to our products and services

We do not collect sensitive personal data (special category data) for marketing purposes.

4. How We Use Personal Data for Marketing

Personal data may be used to:

• Send promotional emails about our services, events, and industry insights

• Contact individuals regarding relevant offers or opportunities

• Conduct market research to improve our services

​

Marketing communications will only be sent via email, telephone, or post where lawful consent or a legitimate interest has been established.

5. Opting Out & Data Subject Rights

Individuals have the right to:

• Withdraw consent at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in emails or by contacting us directly.

• Object to processing for marketing purposes.

• Request access, rectification, or erasure of their personal data.

​

All marketing-related data requests will be handled within one month of receipt, in line with GDPR requirements.

6. Data Security & Retention

We take appropriate measures to ensure that all personal data is stored securely and protected from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Marketing data will be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil its purpose or until an individual requests its deletion.

7. Sharing & Third-Party Data Processing

We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes. Where third-party service providers (such as email marketing platforms) process data on our behalf, we ensure that they are GDPR-compliant and have appropriate safeguards in place.
