Data Protection Principles

We will comply with data protection law. This says that the personal information we hold about you must be:

  1. Used lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent way.
  2. Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.
  3. Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
  4. Accurate and kept up to date.
  5. Kept securely.

The Kind of Information We Hold About You

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). There are “special categories” of more sensitive personal data which require a higher level of protection.

We may collect, store, and use the following categories:

  • Personal contact details such as name, title, addresses, telephone numbers, and personal email addresses.
  • Date of birth, gender, and marital status.
  • Next of kin and emergency contact information.
  • National Insurance or TAX ID number / PAN card.
  • Bank account details, payroll records, and tax status information.
  • Driving license details.
  • Grievance information.
  • Information about your use of our information and communications systems.

How Is Your Personal Information Collected?

We collect personal information about data subjects through various methods such as landing pages, websites, and registration forms.

Landing Page Terms

We offer free counseling services via landing pages and websites.

How Will We Use Information About You?

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the agreement we have entered into with you.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where you have given us explicit consent to do so.

Specific situations where we use your information:

  • Administering the contract we have entered into with you.
  • Business management and planning, including accounting and auditing.
  • Making decisions about grievances.
  • Making arrangements for the termination of a contract.
  • Dealing with legal disputes.
  • Complying with health and safety obligations.
  • To prevent fraud.
  • To monitor your use of our information and communication systems.
  • To ensure network and information security.
  • To conduct data analytics studies to review and better understand customer satisfaction and needs.

Note: As a registered member, you will receive important updates and notifications over WhatsApp. If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to perform the agreement we have entered into with you.

Change of Purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

How Do We Use Particularly Sensitive Personal Information?

“Special categories” of particularly sensitive personal information require higher levels of protection. We need to have further justification for collecting, storing, and using this type of personal information.

We may process special categories in the following circumstances:

  • In limited circumstances, with your explicit written consent.
  • Where we need to carry out our legal obligations.
  • Where it is needed in the public interest, such as when requested by CBI, police, or governmental authorities.
  • Where it is needed in relation to legal claims.
  • Where it is needed to protect your interests and you are not capable of giving your consent.
  • Where you have already made the information public.

Principles of GDPR

We will use your personal data only in line with the following principles:

  • Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency
  • Purpose limitation
  • Data minimization
  • Accuracy
  • Storage limitation
  • Integrity and confidentiality — ensuring appropriate security including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.
