2. How does Mauve use your personal information?

This will allow us to offer you the best solution. Your information will only be shared in accordance with the specific solution(s) and will not be used for marketing purposes.

When sharing your personal information, we will operate in accordance with strict data and privacy procedures and will take steps to ensure that no personal data is used for purposes other than offering you the specific solution(s). Following the cancellation of the solution, we will keep your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations (see section 6 – Who we share your personal information with).

3. How to access and update your personal information

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of your personal information, please email or write to us at the address at the end of this notice.

Mauve Group only holds personal data that is relevant to enable the supply of our solutions and services. We therefore want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate, and instruct us to remove any personal data from our system as and when you do not wish us to hold the data any longer. This is subject to any legal requirement to maintain your information we must adhere to. We may limit or deny any access requests that impede our legitimate interests, except where prohibited by applicable law.

We do not store your personal data for any longer than is needed to carry out the actions and enquiries for which you initially provided the information.

4. Non-personal information

Certain pieces of data we collect are anonymised to ensure we cannot identify or contact a specific individual. The anonymised form of this non-personal information means we can use and transfer the data for any reason.

We collect anonymised technical information when customers visit our website to identify trends and improve user experience; these include language, time zone, IP address and web browser provider. We also collect aggregated data from specific actions you take on our website; this helps us to identify trends in the use of our content and website structure, and make improvements. This Privacy Notice does not consider aggregated data to be personal data.

5. Security measures for personal information

Mauve Group is committed to protecting your information from unauthorised access. We use a suite of protection methods including, but not limited to, password authentication controls, data encryption, anti-virus software and firewalls, to ensure your personal data is secure. Any physical data held by Mauve Group is protected with building and file storage access controls.

6. Who we share your personal information with

Mauve Group will not share your information for marketing purposes with companies outside the Mauve Group.

In the event you make an enquiry into our products and services, Mauve Group may need to share your personal information with third-party service providers – for example to confirm the type of visa you require in a certain location. These are partners that we have contracted to assist us in providing our services. You will not receive any marketing contact as a result of this transfer of personal data – the purpose would be to determine the type of service you require and to create a bespoke solution based on your specific circumstances, or to action a solution you have purchased from us.

Our third-party providers are contractually-obliged by Mauve Group to protect your data through appropriate security controls to ensure your information is not unsuitably used or accessed. Our contracts with our third-party partners also prohibit the use of your data for any reason beyond those instructed by Mauve Group – we require our partners to comply with a data processing agreement (DPA) to this effect. Every partner in our network is due-diligence checked for compliance by a third-party organisation.

You are entitled to object to your personal data being shared with third-parties. We will be unable to provide services to data subjects who have objected to Mauve’s sharing of personal data where it is required in performance of our contract with that data subject.

There may be a need to disclose personal information to public authorities if required by law, for example for law enforcement purposes or in the interest of national security.
