About this Privacy Policy

This privacy policy was updated on 15/05/2018

Introduction

The General Data Protection Regulation

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a regulation by which the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission intend to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU).

The GDPR defines 'personal data' as any information relating to an identified or identifiable person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to a name, an address, phone number, an identification number, location data or an online identifier.

The Data Protection Principles

The GDPR sets out the following principles with which any party handling personal data must comply. All personal data must be:

  • Processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject.
  • Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.
  • Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.
  • Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which it is processed, is erased, or rectified without delay.
  • Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed.

Privacy Policy

Your right to privacy matters to us and we strictly adhere to the requirements of GDPR legislation in the UK. National Livestock Management Database (NLMD) Ltd places high importance on the correct, lawful, and fair handling of all personal data, respecting the legal rights, privacy, and trust of all individuals with whom it deals.

Outlined below is a summary of how our commitment to ensuring information that you provide is handled appropriately and in confidence:

Sharing Your information

We do not sell, rent or exchange your personal information with any third party for commercial reasons.

We only share your personal information with the following, as part of the legitimate business requirements for processing your requests:

  • When you register with a group, the administrator for the chosen group will approve your registration and add you to the group. Once you are added, other group members may be able to see your personal data. This will depend on how the group has been setup for sharing. In some instances, other group members can only see anonymised, aggregated information; in others, group members do not have access to any other member's data; group administrators will usually have access to all data. For details about the level of data sharing within a group, please contact us. The NLMD website provides a method for you to leave a group with which you have registered (you can find this facility on the My Account page).

We may, for legal reasons, be required to disclose your personal information but only when we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to:

  • meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or other legal obligation;
  • detect, investigate and help prevent security, fraud or technical issues; and
  • protect the rights, property or safety of NLMD, our users, employees and others;

and as part of a corporate transaction, such as a transfer of assets to or an acquisition by or merger with another company.

Accessing and Updating Your information

The Service allows registered users to directly access and review their account information and make corrections or updates after login. Keeping such information up to date is solely the responsibility of the user. Registered users may also close their account by contacting customer support.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service and fulfil the transactions you have requested, and for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, maintaining business and financial records, resolving disputes, maintaining security, detecting and preventing fraud and abuse, and enforcing our agreements.

Data Security

We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access in accordance with the UK data protection legislation.

NLMD always has, and will continue to, strive to make your data as secure as possible.
