Statement

Periculo Limited is based within the United Kingdom, and as such is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as a Data Controller under the UK Data Protection Act of 2018.

Personal data

Personal data is provided to us via the following avenues;

Registration of interest/contact forms

To register your interest, you will provide your contact details for the purpose of contacting. Once the contact has been made, we will delete your email address immediately.

Within the assessment platform

We use a secure platform for processing your Cyber Essentials Assessment, this includes a limited amount of personal information and has been rigorously reviewed.

Processing of payments

We use Stripe for our payment processing and have carried out a selective security process to ensure that we are using a secure and compliant service provider.

Marketing/newsletter

Throughout the site there are opportunities to leave your email address for newsletters and updates – we only capture the minimum amount required for this (your email address) and we offer an unsubscribe button within our emails. If you haven’t received an email (we don’t send them often) and want your details removed, please send an email to privacy@periculo.co.uk

Sensitive personal data

Following an assessment of the website and capturing process, we can confirm that we do not knowingly capture data deemed as ‘personally sensitive’ as defined in the GDPR / DPA 2018.

As per the Data Protection Act and refined by the General Data Protection Regulation, you have multiple rights which can be exercised. This includes;

– requesting a copy of your personal data that we hold

– updating the personal data that we hold in order to keep your data accurate

– the ability to provide your data in a commonly used format for transfer elsewhere

– updating your consent and objecting to direct marketing and;

– requesting that your data is erased (we will always do this unless we have a valid reason. If your data cannot be deleted, we will provide you with the justification.)

If we do not address your request or fail to provide you with a valid reason why it is unable to do so, you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner’s Office to make a complaint. They can be contacted via www.ico.org.uk or by telephone at 0303 123 1113.

Declaration of sharing

We use third-party solutions for the hosting of our website and application (mobile and web), including analytics to better our service and provide the best experience.

Squarespace

Our website is hosted in the US with Squarespace but we have reviewed this from a security and privacy perspective and have proceeded on the basis that it meets our requirements. We capture a minimal amount of information through this route – You can see more about Squarespace and GDPR here

Marketing

We use MailChimp for our email newsletter and notifications, we will share email addresses for the purpose of sending emails, and you have the ability to unsubscribe as you, please. We have a third-party review process to ensure all third parties meet or exceed our level of security and use the NCSC guidance as a baseline.

We no longer use google analytics and use Fathom Analytics instead, this means that we get the same level of information without processing any personal data or having to use cookies.
