Lawful basis for the processing of personal data

Our business architecture, accounting and systems infrastructure and compliance organisation means that all personal data is processed on common, group-wide platforms. We have processes in place to make sure that only those people in our organisation who need to access your data can do so. A number of data elements are collected for multiple purposes. Some data may be shared with third parties.

When we process on the lawful basis of legitimate interest, we apply the following test to determine whether it is appropriate: 

The purpose test – is there a legitimate interest behind the processing? 

Necessity test – is the processing necessary for that purpose? 

Balancing test – is the legitimate interest overridden, or not, by the individual’s interests, rights or freedoms?

Storage of personal data

Higher Park Classics is a UK-domiciled organisation whose primary offices are in the UK. 

  • Our websites and web applications is hosted in the EU and are accessed only by EU-based staff.

  • Our customer relationship management, marketing and accounting systems for all our businesses are either EU-based or hosted by companies participating in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework.

  • We use a wide range of CSPs (Cloud service providers) as part of our processing environment. Unless we specifically state otherwise, we are, in respect of all these CSPs, the data controller.

  • Unless we specifically state otherwise, all the CSPs that we use utilise EU-located processing facilities.

  • Our payment processors and banking arrangements are based in the EU.

  • We ship and deliver physical products around the world; we therefore use logistics companies that are based outside the EU and operate in other countries.

  • We operate a data retention policy in respect of all data, whether paper-based or digital, and those aspects of it that relate to personal data are contained in the table at 5, above.

  Security measures

All our payment card processing is in compliance with the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). 

We have what we believe are appropriate security controls in place to protect personal data. Risk assessment, including assessing risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, is at the heart of our approach. We do not, however, have any control over what happens between your device and the boundary of our information infrastructure. You should be aware of the many information security risks that exist and take appropriate steps to safeguard your own information. We accept no liability in respect of breaches that occur beyond our sphere of control.

Your rights as a data subject

As a data subject whose personal information we hold, you have certain rights. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email info@bhwt.co.uk or use the information supplied in the Contact Us section below. To process your request, we will ask you to provide two valid forms of identification for verification purposes. Your rights are as follows: 

  • The right to be informed
    As a data controller, we are obliged to provide clear and transparent information about our data processing activities. This is provided by this privacy policy and any related communications we may send you.

  • The right of access
    You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you free of charge. Once we have verified your identity and, if relevant, the authority of any third-party requestor, we will provide access to the personal data we hold about you as well as the following information:

    b) The categories of personal data concerned
    c) The recipients to whom the personal data has been disclosed
    d) The retention period or envisioned retention period for that personal data
    e) When personal data has been collected from a third party, the source of the personal data

  • If there are exceptional circumstances which mean we can refuse to provide the information, we will explain them. If requests are frivolous or vexatious, we reserve the right to refuse them. If answering requests is likely to require additional time or occasions unreasonable expense (which you may have to meet), we will inform you.

  • The right to rectification
    When you believe we hold inaccurate or incomplete personal information about you, you may exercise your right to correct or complete this data. This may be used with the right to restrict processing to make sure that incorrect/incomplete information is not processed until it is corrected.

  • The right to erasure (the ‘right to be forgotten’)
    Where no overriding legal basis or legitimate reason continues to exist for processing personal data, you may request that we delete the personal data. This includes personal data that may have been unlawfully processed. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure erasure.

  • The right to restrict processing
    You may ask us to stop processing your personal data. We will still hold the data, but will not process it any further. This right is an alternative to the right to erasure. If one of the following conditions applies you may exercise the right to restrict processing:

  • a) The accuracy of the personal data is contested.
    b) Processing of the personal data is unlawful.
    c) We no longer need the personal data for processing but the personal data is required for part of a legal process.
    d) The right to object has been exercised and processing is restricted pending a decision on the status of the processing.

  • The right to data portability
    You may request your set of personal data be transferred to another controller or processor, provided in a commonly used and machine-readable format. This right is only available if the original processing was on the basis of consent, the processing is by automated means and if the processing is based on the fulfilment of a contractual obligation.

  • The right to object
    You have the right to object to our processing of your data where

  • Processing is based on legitimate interest;

  • Processing is for the purpose of direct marketing;

  • Processing is for the purposes of scientific or historic research; or
