<h2 id="consent">5. When we need your consent to use your personal data</h2>
<p>Whilst we always want you to be aware of how we are using your personal data, this does not necessarily mean that we are required to ask for your consent before we can use it. In the day to day running of our business we may use your personal data without asking for your consent because:</p>
<ul>
<li>we are entering into and carrying out our obligations under a contract with you</li>
<li>we need to use your personal data for our own legitimate purposes (such as the administration and management of our business and to provide and / or improve our services to you, your employer or your client) and our doing so will not interfere with your privacy rights</li>
</ul>
<p>In exceptional circumstances we may wish to use your personal data for a different purpose which may require your consent. In these circumstances we will contact you to explain how we wish to use your data and to ask for your consent. You are not required to give consent just because we ask for it.

<p>You have a legal right to know what personal data we hold about you – this is called the right of subject access. You can exercise this right by sending us a written request at any time. Please mark your letter "Subject Access Request" and send it to us by post or email using the details in the Who we are and how you can contact us section.</p>
<p>You also have rights to:</p>

<p>You can find full details of your personal data rights on the Information Commissioner's Office website at ww.ico.org.uk.</p>
<h2 id="automated-decision">8. Automated decision making and profiling</h2>
<p>We undertake automated decision making for the following purposes:</p>

<p>We share your data with the following people in the day to day running of our business:</p>
<ul>
<li>other businesses that are part of the Infonetica group</li>
<li>if you have been enrolled in a training course by your employer or client, they are able to access your training records, including exam questions and your responses, in order to monitor performance and identify gaps in knowledge which may need addressing</li>
<li>any business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors we work with to provide you with services that you have, or your employer or client has, requested from us</li>
<li>advertisers and advertising networks, such as email service providers</li>
<li>analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site</li>
</ul>
<p>We may also share your personal information with third parties on a one-off basis, for example, if:</p>
<ul>
<li>we sell or buy any business or assets (including our own), in which case we will disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; or</li>
<li>we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, ourselves or others.

</ul>
<h2 id="data-security">10. How we keep your personal data safe</h2>
<p>We take every care to ensure that your personal data is kept secure. The security measures we take include:</p>
<ul>
<li>only storing your personal data on our secure servers</li>
<li>ensuring that our staff receive regular data security awareness training</li>
<li>keeping paper records to a minimum and ensuring that those we do have are stored in locked filing cabinets on our office premises</li>

<li>enforcing a strict policy on the use of mobile devices and out of office working</li>
</ul>
<p>Please remember that you are responsible for keeping your passwords secure. If we have given you (or you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please do not to share your passwords with anyone.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, sending information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of personal data sent to our websites; you send us personal data at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features (some of which are described above) to try to prevent unauthorised access.</p>

<h1>ReDA privacy policy</h1>
<p>In providing the Research Database Application (also known as ReDA) service, Infonetica Ltd ("Infonetica") holds the personal information of registered ReDA users.</p>
<p>As such, Infonetica is a data processor for the purposes of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 1998 ("the Act") and subject to certain obligations with respect to the processing of that personal information. This privacy policy sets out the basis on which Infonetica holds personal data in relation to the provision of the ReDA service. Our Customer is the data controller.</p>
<p>For any services which we might provide for which we act as a data controller, please see our General Privacy Policy (http://infonetica.net/general-privacy-policy/).</p>
<h2>Who we are and how you can contact us</h2>
<p>We are Infonetica Ltd (company number 04503405, registered address – The Lower Ground Floor Office, The Civic Centre, High Street, Esher, Surrey, KT10 9SD).</p>
<p>You can contact us in writing at the above address, by emailing enquiries@www.infonetica.net, or by phone on 0208 334 6900.</p>
<h2>ReDA</h2>
<p>ReDA is a software application, owned and operated by Infonetica. Organisations wishing to use the ReDA service ("Customers") are required to register with Infonetica. Once registered, ReDA accounts are created for individuals within or affiliated to the Customer.</p>
<h2>Registered Users</h2>
<p>When an ReDA account is created, the registered user is required to provide a small amount of personal data either:</p>
<ul>
<li>directly via the Customer's ReDA access webpage which is provided by Infonetica;</li>
<li>to the systems administrator of the Customer, who will create the ReDA account and transmit the relevant personal information to Infonetica.</li>
</ul>
<p>This personal data is held by Infonetica in a database on servers located at Infonetica's principal place of business and at least one other location within the United Kingdom. The personal data held includes name, organisational identifier, department, email address, username, role and other information which Infonetica requires to provide the ReDA service. No data that is not necessary to provide the ReDA service is stored in the database.</p>
<p>Personal information about an account is available to the relevant ReDA systems administrators via the ReDA Administration Interface. This information is used by the administrator to identify and contact the individual and to generate statistics about usage of ReDA accounts. ReDA system administrators are appointed by Infonetica and the Customer in a joint approval process, and are subject to terms and conditions which include a requirement to meet appropriate privacy legislation. These are ruled under a separate contract but are summarised as follows:</p>
<p>Administrators must take reasonable steps to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure that access to a resource is only given to individuals who are authorised to access that resource under the terms of the licence for the resource;</li>
<li>Terminate ReDA access promptly when appropriate;</li>
<li>Keep ReDA usernames, passwords, and other personal information confidential;</li>
<li>Ensure that information concerning ReDA account holders is accurate; and</li>
<li>Investigate cases of suspected abuse or inappropriate content.</li>
</ul>
<p>Individual Users must:</p>
<ul>
<li>Keep their account confidential and not permit any third party to use it;</li>
<li>Use their account only for the purpose for which it was issued by the Customer;</li>
<li>Accept the terms of this ReDA Privacy Policy.</li>
</ul>
<p>The two lists above are not descriptions of the all the obligations of Administrators and Users but are the core of the obligations related to personal privacy.</p>
<h2>ReDA Administrators</h2>
<p>Each ReDA administrator is required to provide Infonetica with the following personal data:</p>
<ul>
<li>Name</li>
<li>E-mail address</li>
<li>Telephone numbers (working and non-working hours where the customer is seeking this level of service).</li>
</ul>
<p>Infonetica will hold this personal information on the ReDA database and use it to contact system administrators in relation to the ReDA accounts for which they are responsible.</p>
<p>Customers must also input into the ReDA system at least 2 of the following identifiers:</p>
<ul>
<li>A contact name</li>
<li>A telephone number</li>
<li>An e-mail address or URL to enable registered users to contact their ReDA administrator with ReDA -related enquiries.</li>
</ul>
<p>The above information supplied appears on the ReDA website for registered users to see.</p>
<p>Infonetica will retain the personal data of systems administrators whilst they remain the nominated ReDA administrator for the Customer, and will delete such personal data when the account is deleted.</p>
<h2>Account Deletion</h2>
<p>Infonetica will keep the personal data of registered users whilst they remain registered users. Such information is deleted when the account is deleted by the system administrator, or 6 years after the contract with our Customer has ended, whichever is the later.</p>
<p>Following account deletion, ReDA will still hold statistical information about the account. However, this information is linked only to the username and/or a Persistent ID. Such a link does not allow access to any personal information about the individual.</p>
<h2>Business Transfer</h2>
<p>If Infonetica or the ReDA service is sold or integrated with another business, details within ReDA of all registered users would be passed on to the new owners of the business.</p>
<h2>Cookies</h2>
<p>A "cookie" is a text-only string of information that a web site transfers to the cookie file of the browser on a computer's hard disk so that the web site can record and read a small amount of information.</p>
<p>ReDA either uses or may in the future use the following two types of cookie:</p>
<ul>
<li>Session Cookies which remain in the cookie file of a computer system for a maximum of eight hours after they were initially created or are automatically removed if the browser session is terminated before the eight hour period has elapsed. These cookies contain the ReDA username and an ReDA token and are used to facilitate the ReDA single sign on service, enabling access to all of the ReDA registered resources which a user is entitled to access using a ReDA account.</li>
<li>Persistent Cookies which remain in the cookie file of the browser until they are deleted or if earlier, eighteen (18) months from their creation. At the time of writing this type of cookie is not used by ReDA but Infonetica foresee situations where it may be required in the future.</li>
</ul>
<p>Users can set their browser to warn them before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when the browser alerts the user to its presence.</p>
<h2>Refusal/Deletion of Cookies</h2>
<p>A user may refuse cookies by adjusting the appropriate setting in their browser, but they will not be able to use all the facilities of ReDA. The user can easily delete any cookies that have been installed in the cookie folder of their browser. Users should consult the documentation for their choice of browser on how to manage cookies.</p>
<h2>Access to your personal information</h2>
<p>Registered users can view the personal information held about them by logging in to ReDA with their username and password. Users are responsible for maintaining their own information, but this can also be updated and monitored by an administrator.</p>
<h2>Scope of this privacy policy and updates</h2>
<p>This privacy policy applies only to the use of your personal information by Infonetica in connection with the ReDA service. The use of personal data or information by the Customer or any resource provider is governed by their own privacy policies. Infonetica are unable to accept responsibility for the use of any of personal information by the Customer or any resource provider.</p>
<p>Infonetica may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes shall be notified by posting on the ReDA website or a location as chosen by the Customer. Regularly reviewing this information ensures the user is always aware of the personal data Infonetica has access to and how it is used.</p>
<h2>Security of your personal information</h2>
<p>Infonetica is required to take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure personal data. In order to comply with this requirement, the servers containing personal data are located in secure data centre locations with physical access limited to authorised staff. All data transmissions to and from the ReDA database are encrypted. Furthermore, password information sent to ReDA is hashed (a form of one-way encryption that produces a result from which it is computationally infeasible to deduce the original text) before it is stored in the ReDA database. The data is processed automatically by Infonetica's systems without any human intervention. Only in the event of a technical problem will any Infonetica staff become involved.</p>
<p>All Infonetica's staff are instructed in the importance of and adherence to the principles and requirements of the Act and Infonetica itself endeavours to ensure they comply with the terms of this privacy policy. The personal data which Infonetica holds is never modified or disclosed to a third party other than as described in this policy. Infonetica continually monitors measures which seek to ensure the security and confidentiality of the information that Infonetica collects and its proper use.</p>
<h2>Queries or complaints</h2>
<p>Users should contact the Customer in the first instance with any enquiries (since the Customer is the data controller for the purposes of the Act).</p>
<p>Any questions or enquiries about this privacy policy or Infonetica's compliance with the Act should be addressed in the first instance to: Infonetica, The Lower Ground Floor Office, The Civic Centre, High Street, Esher, Surrey KT10 9SD, or by emailing enquiries@www.infonetica.net or by telephoning +44 (0) 208 334 6900.</p>
