This privacy notice explains how mXm Ltd (a company registered in England number 04103441) uses the personal information we collect from you, either through using our website, or in any other way, electronically, verbally or in writing.

Data controller

mXm Ltd is the data controller, this is because we make decisions about what data is collected and how it is used and with whom it is shared with. We can be contacted at 13 Tonbridge Chambers Pembury Road, Tonbridge, Kent, United Kingdom, TN9 2HZ. Our telephone number is 01732 505282 or you can email pdommett@mxmcommunications.com.

On what basis do we collect and process your data?

We process personal data for the purpose of providing contracted consultancy services to clients. Data Protection law defines the basis by which we can lawfully collect and process personal data for that purpose. To allow us to engage with you to provide our services, we will collect and process personal data where it is necessary to negotiate and / or enable a contract for services to be put in place and subsequently to deliver that service. We may also process personal data where it is in our legitimate interest to do so. In doing this we are careful to do this in a way that does not outweigh your own rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests are to fulfill your requirements to the best of our ability, maintain our client base and third party contacts.

We will also process your data if we feel it is required to protect your vital interests, or the vital interests of another person. This might occur in serious life or death situations where immediate disclosure of personal data is required, and you are unable to give that information yourself.

This is the data we collect and the basis for doing so.

We also transfer personal data to Dropbox, Hightail (opentext), Google Drive and WeTransfer for document storage and secure transfer of data.

Where required we will disclose your personal data with law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies. This is so we can help tackle fraud or where such disclosure is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject. Additionally, we will disclose your personal data in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person, or in connection with the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.

Personal data in electronic form is held in UK, EU and US accredited data centres.
