What information we collect and how we use it
Most of our data is collected personally, from direct contact with a Director or employee at OWB or DRR Group.
We will only ever record your name, business email, contact telephone number and may sometimes also record your business address and telephone number.
We will never collect information in relation to race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health, sex life or sexual orientation, genetic or biometric data.
We may use your information to contact you about our services that may be of interest to you and your business. This would usually be by personal contact but may sometimes be by email from OWB or DRPG (our parent company). We make sure that you are able to opt out of marketing communications at any time in a way that is convenient to you.
If you have contacted us via our website or DRPG’s website, we will collect data on how you use our website so that we better understand your interests and can match products to your needs.
We use data for analytical purposes to understand trends and how the business works but this information does not identify individuals.
The Cookies Section of the Privacy Notice explains what cookies we use and how you can turn off and control any advertising cookies (subject to your browser functionality).
We use email tracking technology to capture information such as (but not limited to) the time and date our emails are opened, the type of device used and any links within the email clicked on.
Social Media
As a business we monitor what the public are saying about us on social media such as Facebook and Twitter, so that we can build these comments into improving our products and the ways we interact with customers. We may from time to time run social media campaigns which if you engage with, will record your data. You will be asked at that time what information you wish to receive from us and how you wish to be contacted.
Legitimate Interests
In most cases, you’ll provide us with your personal information because you want to use our services. Ordinarily for a business this would mean that the condition for processing is contractual However, this condition only applies where a legal contract exists between the parties concerned. We therefore rely on what is called the ‘legitimate interests’ ground for processing. The law provides we can use your information under this condition where our interest in using it is not outweighed by your privacy rights or interests. This means that we can use your personal data only in ways you would reasonably expect and which have a minimal impact on your privacy, or where there is a compelling justification for the processing.
Increasingly we base our marketing and market research on consent but where we rely on legitimate interests we think this is fair because we only contact existing customers or people who have contacted us directly and each communication provides an easy to use opt out. We think it is fair to use social media in the way we describe above because this is publicly available information and we do not use the data to profile or make decisions about individuals.
Who do we share your data with
To provide our services to you, we’ll sometimes need to share your personal information with relevant organisations:
- Online Advertising Platforms such as Google and Facebook and email marketing platforms such as Campaign Monitor, CRM systems such as ActiveDemand.
- Printers or suppliers, who we work with, to produce campaigns on your behalf.
These platforms have their own security in place to protect your data.
