Our privacy notices set out the PI collected by Islington Construction, the purposes for which PI is collected and processed, who it may be disclosed to as well as Individuals’ Rights. For further information please contact Islington Construction at legal@islingtonco.com.

Introduction

Islington Construction is committed to processing personal information (“PI”), including sensitive personal information (“SPI”), in line with all applicable privacy and data protection laws. “Islington Construction”, “we”, “us” or “our” means Islington Construction, and each of the direct or indirect subsidiaries of Islington Construction (“Islington Construction”). Islington Construction, functions and the entity you contract with are the controllers of your PI.

References to “you” or “your” refers to individuals whose PI is processed by Islington Construction, including visitors of any of Islington Construction’s websites, internal or external parties with direct or indirect relationships to Islington Construction; employees, contingent workers, officers, agents (together “representatives”); and beneficial owners of an organization or entity in connection with:

the provision of services to potential and actual clients;
transactions to which we are party (including those which we effect on behalf of clients); or
services provided to us by a third-party vendor.

This Privacy Notice sets out the purposes for which we collect, use and disclose (collectively “processing”) PI and how it is protected. It also sets out individuals’ rights in relation to the processing of their PI.

There may be additional terms, conditions and commitments that also govern how we collect, use and disclose your PI, which should be read in conjunction with this Privacy Notice.

PI we collect about you

PI is information relating to an individual, which can be used either alone or with other sources of information to identify that individual. PI does not include information where the identity of the individual or the specific detail of the information has been removed and is therefore anonymous.

The nature of the information that we collect will depend on the services we provide and our relationship with you. We categorize PI we process as follows (the PI listed for each category are non-exhaustive examples):

Identification data: Full name, title, signature
Contact data: Personal address, telephone number, email address
Electronic Monitoring data: To the extent permitted by law, we may record and monitor your electronic communications with us
Financial data: Bank account details; credit card details
Marketing and Communications data: Marketing and communication preferences; tracking data relating to whether you have read marketing communications from us
Professional Information data: Position/job title, work address; telephone number; email address
Profile data: Username and password for our online services that you have access to; services requested; marketing communications responded to; survey responses
Services data: Payment details to and from you; details of services you have provided to us or we have provided to you
Islington Construction Building and Assets Security data: Records of visits to our premises, project sites, or any other locations that represent Islington Construction which facilitate visits from you; CCTV recordings
Technical data: Your use of and interaction with our online services; your IP address; browser type and version; browser plug in types and versions; operating system

We collect PI in relation to you in a number of ways, including:

when you provide it to us in connection with a Islington Construction product or service
if you are Representative of an organization or entity that is a client or vendor of Islington Construction and that organization or entity provides us with your PI
throughout the course of our relationship with you, including where you change your details, provide additional PI, or where the services we are providing to you change
from public sources where you have manifestly chosen to make your PI public, including via public profiles on social media
from visits to our websites or through logging into any of our online services

We may also create or derive PI such as creating records of your interactions with us, subject to applicable law.

Unless we otherwise indicate that the provision of specific PI is optional, any PI we request is necessary for us to provide you or your organization or entity with the products and services requested. If you do not provide the PI requested, we may not be able to provide those products and services.

In connection with one or more of the purposes outlined in the section ‘Purpose and Legal basis for processing your PI’ above, we may disclose PI in any jurisdiction to:

PI retention

We will process your PI for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, reporting, policy requirements or for the establishment or defense of legal claims.

PI security

We use a range of physical, electronic and managerial measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of PI processing. These measures include:

education and training of relevant staff to ensure they are aware of our privacy obligations when processing PI as well as training around social engineering, phishing, spear phishing, and password risks;
the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;
the ability to restore the availability and access to PI in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;
administrative and technical controls to restrict access to PI;
technological security measures, including fire walls, encryption (industry standard SSL encryption with 128-bit key lengths), and anti-virus software;
physical security measures, such building access controls;
external technical assessments, security audits and vendor due diligence;
perimeter security;
segregation of networks;
application security;
endpoint security;
real-time monitoring of data leakage controls;
layered and comprehensive cybersecurity defenses; and
security incident reporting and management.

The security of data transmitted over the internet (including by e-mail) cannot be guaranteed and carries the risk of access and interception. You should not send us any PI by open/unsecure channels over the internet. We endeavour to protect personal information but cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to us or by us.
