If you have any questions about the use of your personal information, please email us at emily@hellosesame.co.uk with the words "personal details" in the subject line.

What personal data do we hold and why?
When you contact us, we will use your name and contact information to respond. We will then use this information to communicate with you during the provision of our services to you.

For each visitor to our website, our web server automatically recognises the user’s domain name. We also collect the email addresses of those who communicate with us via email and anonymously aggregate information on which pages users access or visit. Information volunteered by users, such as survey information and/or site registrations, is also collected. We will only use information collected in a survey on an anonymous basis unless we have your permission to do otherwise.

If you are a registered user of our services, we will gather further relevant information, such as generic types of data accessed, time of access, volume of use of services and traffic data from use of our website. Traffic data includes logs, details of networks, data and systems accessed, details of the sender and recipients of messages sent over our services, times and location of log on or access, duration of sessions, clickstream and similar usage or system data. Traffic data may sometimes be traceable to and or related to not just companies but named individuals. Before you register with SESAME COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT CONSULTING  for access to services or transactional areas of our website, you can browse our website anonymously and we will not collect your data.

On request, we can provide you with access to all information, including proprietary information, that we maintain about you (but not other users unless required to do so by law) including unique identifier information (for example, your customer number or password) and contact information (for example, your name, address and phone number). You can request this information by emailing us at emily@hellosesame.co.uk or writing to us. We will correct inaccuracies on provision of the correct details or, where relevant, you can do this by changing your registered details online. Please note, we will never send personal information on request unless we have proof that the recipient is the owner of the data.

How do we use your information?
SESAME COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT CONSULTING collects and uses your information to administer, support, improve and obtain feedback on our services and to detect and prevent faults, breaches of our network security, the law or our contract terms. We may also contact you to obtain feedback on that service and any improvements we could make to it.

The information we collect is used for internal review and to improve the content of our website and services. It is also used to notify users about updates to our services. This information is not shared with other organisations for commercial purposes.

If you do not want to receive emails from us in the future, please let us know by sending an email to emily@hellosesame.co.uk.

Who do we share your information with?
We work with third parties (i.e possible new employers) and will provide them with a copy of your cv. This version of your cv will be branded as SESAME, and your email, home address and any contact numbers removed.  

The third parties we work with are monitored on how they meet the requirements of current UK data protection legislation and the requirements of GDPR. When we contract with third parties we enter into agreements that encourage GDPR compliance. 

Where this includes storage or processing of information outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), we include checks to ensure that compliance with the appropriate frameworks for exchange of personal data (such as the EU-US Privacy Shield) is in place. As a UK-based company our lead data protection supervisory authority is the ICO and GDPR is the standard for our data protection in all territories where data is processed.

We do not share nor sell your personal data to anyone else.

Exemptions to the above are where we are asked to provide information because of a court order or to recover monies due.

How long do we store your data for?
We will store your personal information (name, address, email, etc) for a minimum of six years after your last transaction with us. We will keep records of transactions for longer periods, but we will ensure that the data is anonymised so that personal data is deleted after six years. If you wish to stop hearing from us prior to that time then email us at emily@hellosesame.co.uk and we will remove you from our database. If you are a sole trader or partnership, financial transactions between us might include some personal data. We are required by law to keep this information for the current financial year plus an additional six years.

Why do we need to store your data?

We may store your information on our databases for reference and to record any preferences you have notified to us. The information may be retained and used by SESAME COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT CONSULTING to answer queries or resolve problems, provide improved and new services, to respect your rights under GDPR, for analysis purposes and for any data retention requirements of the law. This means we may retain information after you cease to use our services or after you have ceased interacting with SESAME COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT CONSULTING. 

We store your information securely to prevent unauthorised use. See our Security section below.
