Privacy

Our approach to privacy and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

About

Our benchmark for operations around the globe

As a world leader in customer data science, we place privacy at the heart of our business. We have extensive privacy-related polices, processes and controls in place and have adopted GDPR as our benchmark for operations around the globe.

We have reviewed our governance, policies and practices to ensure they meet GDPR standards. Our business-wide programme follows the principles outlined below:

Best practice

We have adopted GDPR as our global standard. Every client we work with around the world will benefit.

It's our clients' data

We will always respect our clients' wishes with regard to use of their data, whether acting as a data processor or data controller.

Security

We maintain the highest standards when it comes to our security measures and continually review our security practices.

Pseudonymisation

We consistently minimise the amount of identifiable data and other sensitive data types we hold.

Minimisation

We only process data that is necessary for us to provide services to our clients.

Retention

We hold data only for as long as we need it. We will always agree retention rules with our clients.

Individual rights

We have stress-tested all of our solutions to ensure we have the capability to honour all individuals' rights under GDPR e.g. the right to erasure and to portability.

Supply chain

We will be transparent with clients about our supply chain. We always expect our suppliers to meet the same rigorous standards that we set for ourselves.

Our client relationships

Our practices are there to help make clients' data compliance as simple as possible.

DATA PRIVACY

How we're helping our clients with data privacy

In addition to ensuring that we continue to meet the highest data privacy standards, we’re committed to helping our retailer and brand clients with their own data compliance.

We have a proven track record in helping organisations bring together and manage enterprise scale offline and online data assets to create value for customers. As a data processor, we build in privacy safeguards from the start; minimising your compliance challenge whilst maximising your return on investment.

We offer solutions for mapping, inventorising and organising your data assets through to systems issues such as pseudonymisation, applying retention periods across disparate assets or the erasure of individual customer’s data.
