Unigel’s role in data collection and processing

Under the GDPR, Unigel is classified as both the ‘data controller’ (the body responsible for determining the purpose and means of processing personal data) and the ‘data processor’ (the body responsible for processing personal data).

Personal Data

This notice refers to the collection and handling of personal data – namely information that could be used to identify an individual, such as name, email address and postal address.

What information do we collect and why?

Unigelcollects information about its customers, potential customers and other interested parties for a number of reasons. This could refer to both individuals and organisations. Primarily we collect non-sensitive personal data such as names, email addresses, telephone numbers company names and job roles in order to:

  • Developing customer information for sales and marketing purposes
  • Contact potential customers to discuss opportunities.
  • Carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between customers, suppliers and providers of services.
  • We may contact you in relations to supply goods or services either via email or telephone.

Unigel only processes information when:

We have been given consent to do so. This consent will be given in the form of a positive ‘opt in’ from the data subject. Where we have a legitimate interest to do so, for example emailing regarding a contract. Or where a data subject has freely given their information for marketing purposes.

Ensuring your personal data is safe and accurate

We ensure that your data is kept safely on our systems and have put measures in place to help guard against any accidental loss, destruction or damage of personal data.

We only collect and record data about individuals that is necessary for us to perform our marketing activity and nothing more. As our information is collected from the individuals directly, we assume that this is correct at the time of collection and offer provision for our data subjects to update their details at any time if the information held becomes inaccurate (see below ‘Data Subject Rights’).

Data Sharing

Unigel will only ever share your data when it is required to do so, for example internally within Unigel Group and Unitape companies (this includes Unigel Inc USA Unigel UK Ltd, Unigel Compounds Sdn Bhd, Unitape LLC USA and Unitape Ltd UK). Or with third parties, to help manage our business and deliver services. These third parties may from time to time need to have access to your personal data, and include:

  • Financial Institutions
  • Solicitors and other professional service firms such as accountants and our auditors
  • We may also disclose personally identifiable information in by law. Personally identifiable information may be provided to a party if we file for bankruptcy, or if there is a transfer of the assets or ownership in connection with proposed or consummated corporate reorganizations, such as mergers or acquisitions.

The data we share is limited to carry out commercial contracts and will include company names, individual names, telephone numbers and email addresses.

We will never share or sell our customers or potential customer’s data with any other businesses, individuals outside of our company or any third parties.

Retaining Information

We will retain personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes listed above. Where there has been no interaction from a customer, supplier and service provider, data will be archived after 3 year and deleted after 7 years.

Where we are required to do so to meet legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements, we will retain personal data for longer periods of time, but only where permitted to do so, including so that we have an accurate record of dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a possibility of legal action relating to your personal data or dealings.

We maintain a data retention policy which we apply to records in our care. Where personal data is no longer required and we do not have a legal requirement to retain it, we will ensure it is either securely deleted or stored in a way such that it is anonymised and the Personal Data is no longer used by the business.
