Notice last updated: 22nd March 2024
This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) is adopted by Reinventy Limited and all subsidiary companies and other entities which directly or indirectly are controlled by Reinventy Limited (each, an Affiliate), with Reinventy Limited and its Affiliates being collectively referred to as “Reinventy”, “we”, “us”.
Unless stated otherwise, Advanced Scientific Materials Limited is the data controller in respect of all personal data collected by us on this website or otherwise. This means that we are responsible for ensuring that we do so in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, all other related privacy laws and any codes of practice issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office or any other data protection supervisory authority where we are active.
Reinventy understands your concerns about the privacy of data you may provide us, or which we obtain through your use of the Reinventy Website (“Site”) or the services we provide to our prospective customers and customers (“Services“).
This Notice provides you with information about:
Reinventy collects information from the following data subjects:
The Site is not intended for or directed at children under the age of 16 and we will never knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under this age.
We collect two types of information from you: “Personal Information” (anything which identifies you as an individual, either on its own or by reference to other information) and “Aggregate Information” (non-personally identifiable and anonymous data).
On our Site, Personal Information (such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address) is collected when you voluntarily submit it through a Site form, such as during a request for product information. Other information that may also constitute Personal Information (such as your browser type, operating system, IP address, domain name, number of times you visited the Site, dates you visited the Site, and the amount of time you spent viewing the Site) may be collected via cookies and other tracking technologies. Aggregate Information (such as how many times visitors log onto this Site) may also be collected.
Outside of this Site, Personal Information may also be collected directly by us or by our representatives when you enter into a contract with us, apply for a job with us, provide us with goods or services, contact us to make enquiries or complaints via telephone, email or by post or otherwise interact with us in the course of our business operations. We or a Goodfellow representative may collect your business contact details and information about your profession, as well as information about you if you attend meetings, events or conferences that we organise or are present at, or if you sign up to our newsletters.
We will indicate to you where the provision of certain Personal Information is required in order for us to provide you or the organisation you represent with our services or certain features of the Site. If you choose not to provide such Personal Information, we may not be able to provide you with our services or access to certain aspects of the Site.
We will collect most of the Personal Information referred to above from you directly. However, there may be circumstances where we collect Personal Information about you indirectly from the following third parties:
As a data controller, we will only use your Personal Information if we have a legal basis for doing so. The table at Annex 1 sets out how we use the Personal Information we collect about you and the legal basis which we rely on to process the Personal Information.
More generally, we process Personal Information:
We work with third parties to help manage our business, deliver services and as otherwise required to achieve the purposes set out in Annex 1. We and our service providers (as defined below) disclose and share your Personal Information:
Any access to such information will be limited to the purpose for which such information was provided to us or our Service Providers, as explained in the “How we use the information we collect” section above.
Reinventy’s Affiliates and Service Providers are located throughout the world. Accordingly, your Personal Information may be sent to countries which have different levels of data protection laws than your country of residence. For instance, if you inquire about services we provide in the USA and in China, we will forward your inquiry to our office in such countries. We may also make other disclosures of your Personal Information overseas, for example if we receive a legal or regulatory request from a foreign law enforcement body. Reinventy complies with all applicable laws before transferring Personal Data to a recipient in a country with data protection laws that do not have a data protection standard equivalent to the laws where you live.
We will always take steps to ensure that any international transfer of information is carefully managed to protect your rights and interests:
We will, on request, provide you with further details regarding the categories of recipient of your Personal Information and the countries to which your Personal Information may be transferred. You have the right to ask us for more information about the safeguards we have put in place as mentioned above. Contact us as set out in “Contact Us” section if you would like further information.
We take the security of the information we collect seriously. We have implemented and we maintain technical and organisational security measures, policies and procedures intended to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorized disclosure or access to such information appropriate to the nature of the data concerned. Some of the steps we take are: placing confidentiality requirements on our staff members and Service Providers; destroying or permanently anonymising Personal Information if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected.
Personal Information collected via this Site is stored on servers in the UK. You should be aware that your Personal Information once collected may be transferred to our servers in the USA, and the USA currently does not have uniform data protection laws. See the “International Transfers” section above for more detail about how we will protect such Personal Information.
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as explained in this Notice. Customer data will be retained for a period of 7 years from the date of last transaction with us, after which it will be deleted, anonymised or pseudonymised if required. In some circumstances we may retain your Personal Information for longer periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements.
In specific circumstances we may retain your Personal Information for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your Personal Information or dealings.
Where we have obtained your Personal Information in order to provide you with marketing information for our products and services, your Personal Information will be stored by us only as long as you do not change your mind to receive such materials from Reinventy, in order to avoid future contact with you for marketing purposes. We maintain a data retention notice which we apply to records in our care. Where your Personal Information is no longer required we will ensure it is securely deleted.
In addition to the information collected offline, this Notice applies to the Personal Information collected on this Site. This Site includes links to both our affiliated web sites and to non-affiliated web sites, including access to content, products and services of such affiliated and non-affiliated sites. Although some of the entities controlling these sites are under contract with us, not all of them are, so we advise you to familiarise yourself with the individual privacy notice and other terms for each linked web site prior to submitting your Personal Information. We are not responsible for and do not have control over their terms of use or privacy notices, have not reviewed them and we do not accept any liability with respect to the content of these web sites or how they use, store or secure your Personal Information.
For individuals based in the UK or EEA, you have a right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (https://ico.org.uk/). If you are in the EEA, you can find your local supervisory authority here.
We ask that you please attempt to resolve any issues with us first, although you have a right to contact your supervisory authority at any time.
Privacy laws and practice are constantly developing and we aim to meet high standards. Our policies and procedures are, therefore, under continual review. We may, from time to time, update our security and privacy policies. If we want to make any significant changes in how we will use your personal data we will contact you directly and, if required, seek your consent.
Notwithstanding the above, we recommend that you check this Notice every time you visit our Site or provide us with your Personal Information offline as we may update this Notice from time to time, by posting the amended Notice on this Site. Any changes will be effective when posted and your continued use of the Site or not objecting to the use of your Personal Information will indicate your acknowledgement of any changes.
