Legal Bases for Processing and Consequences
DOC2UK Ltd relies on the following legal bases for the collection, processing and use of your personal data:
- The processing is necessary to provide our services as requested by you;
- Your consent;
- The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or to commence at your request before entering into a contract;
- The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are a party;
- The processing is necessary for purposes of legitimate interests pursued by a third party or us, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
Generally, the provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, in some cases it is necessary to enter into a contract with us or to receive our products or services as explicitly requested by you. Unless otherwise specified, not providing your personal data will not result in legal consequences.
Personal data shared with third parties
We will only ever share personal data with companies, organisations and individuals outside of DOC2UK Ltd as explained below. We may share your personal data with affiliates of DOC2UK Ltd and other companies worldwide, including unaffiliated agents, suppliers or manufacturers, in order for these companies to contact you about relevant products, services or other offers. We may also share your personal data with relevant business partners.
Service Providers: we share personal data with both affiliated and unaffiliated companies that perform certain tasks on our behalf, including marketing campaigns, website analysis applications, media services and social commerce services. Any third-party service providers we use will receive your personal data only as necessary to perform their role and are instructed not to use your personal data for any other purposes.
We will use and disclose your personal data as permitted by data-protection laws and regulations: to comply with legal process and respond to requests from legal, public and government authorities; to enforce our terms and conditions; to detect and prevent fraud, cyber security or other technical issues; to protect our business operations and the rights of our customers, our company and our property.
Business Transfers: as our business develops, we may share or transfer personal data we hold about you as part of transactions including company reorganisation, sale, merger, assignment, joint venture, transfer or disposition of any or all of our business. Customer information is typically part of a business asset to be transferred but remains subject to any pre-existing applicable Privacy Notice.
Links to Social Networking and other Third-Party Websites
Our services contain links to social networking websites and other third-party applications operated and controlled by third parties. While we endeavour to link to reputable websites that share our high data privacy standards, we cannot take responsibility for any content or privacy practices deployed by these third-party websites. Any personal data you provide to such third-party websites will be collected by that third party and not by DOC2UK Ltd, and will be subject to that third party's privacy policy rather than this Privacy Notice.
Your Rights
If you have declared your consent regarding certain collecting, processing and use of your personal data, you can withdraw this consent at any time with immediate effect. You also have the right to object to the use of your personal data for marketing. The rights below may be subject to modification under the applicable data protection law and apply to data subjects located in the EEA:

You have the right to request that we rectify inaccurate personal data concerning you, to request erasure of personal data (the right to be forgotten) in certain circumstances, and to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to request and receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (data portability).
Right to object
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data by us, including profiling and direct marketing.

If you have already provided consent for direct marketing, you can withdraw it at any time as explained within this Privacy Notice.
Data Retention Periods
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide you with the services and products requested. Once you have terminated your relationship with us, we will either destroy your personal data or anonymise it in line with the GDPR requirements.
