How do we use your personal information?

We take privacy and data protection law seriously, so below we have set out how and why we use your information and describe our legal basis for using your information.

Supplying our products and providing our services

It is necessary for us to use personal information about you to enter into and perform the contracts that we make with you (or your business), such as when you become a customer or when you interact with us as a customer or otherwise as a representative of your business. In particular, where our contract is with your business, we have a legitimate interest to use your information in this way. Using your information in this context is necessary so that we can interact appropriately with you, including for example to:

If you inquire about or apply for, a job vacancy, it is necessary for us to use your personal information as part of the recruitment process, in order to assess your suitability for a particular role.

Telling you about other products or services that we think may be of interest to you

We may use your information to identify and tell you about our products or services that we think may be of interest to you. We do this, for example, where you have informed us that you would like to receive marketing communications.

Whether you choose to receive marketing communications is entirely up to you. Your choice will not affect any products or services that you have purchased from us, nor will it affect any quotes for products or services you buy in the future.

You can update your preferences by using the links in any of our emails to you, or by contacting us.

Telling you about products or services that are similar to ones that you have already bought

If you have already bought a service from us, or you have already obtained a quote from us, we have a legitimate interest to contact you with information about services that are similar.

We may contact you by phone, email, or text message or other common means, and you can choose not to receive these messages at any time. Simply follow the instructions in the message, or get in touch using our website.

Making our business better

We always want to offer the best products, services, and experience that we can. Sometimes this means we may use your information to find ways that we can improve what we do, or how we do it.

In this context, we may use your information where it is necessary so that we can:

  • Review and improve our existing products and services and develop new ones.
  • Review and improve the performance of our systems, processes, and staff (including training).
  • Improve our site to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.
  • Measure and understand the effectiveness of advertising we serve to you and others, and to deliver relevant advertising to you.

We have a legitimate interest to use your information in these ways to improve our business and, in some cases, when it may be necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations.


Contacting you

We want to stay in touch with you. Sometimes we may need to use the information that we have about you in order to respond to your questions or let you know about important changes.

We may use your information so that we can:

  • Interact and respond to any communications you send us, including where you contact us through our website and any social media posts that you tag us in.
  • Let you know about any important changes to our business or policies.

Verifying your identity

We may use your information where it is necessary for us to do so to verify your identity, protect the integrity of our website and services, to meet our legal obligations or to detect and prevent fraud, money-laundering, and other crimes.

Protecting you and others from harm

We may use your information where it is necessary to protect our or your interests, or the interests of others. This may include in the event of criminality such as identity theft, piracy or fraud, or to comply with legal requirements.

Other Described Uses

We may use your information in any other way we describe when you provide the information, or for any other purpose for which you have provided consent.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

 

Who do we share your personal information with?

Sharing your information within our company and group

We share the information that you provide to us with our staff so that we can provide our products and services to you and generally to fulfill the purpose for which you have provided it. We may share the information that you provide to us with other companies within the Dixon Group which may be based in different locations around the world including North America, Europe, Asia, Australia. Whenever we share your personal information with any such third parties, we will have appropriate safeguards in place to protect that information.

Sharing your information with third parties

We may share your data with selected third parties. For example, we may share your information with:

  • Our contractors, service providers, suppliers and distributors, and other third parties we use to conduct our business, and related infrastructure, including, for example, third-party services we use to verify and correct postal address and other shipping information.
  • Third-party couriers and services for deliveries.
  • Payment service providers, for making and receiving payments.
  • Contact management systems to send emails, instant messages, social media messages, and SMS messages.

There are certain exceptional circumstances in which we may disclose your information to third parties. This would be where we believe that the disclosure is:

  • Required by the law, or in order to comply with judicial proceedings, court orders or legal, government, or regulatory proceedings.
  • Necessary to protect the rights and/or safety of our employees, our property, or the public.
  • Necessary for the prevention or detection of crime, including exchanging information with other companies or organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
  • Proportionate as part of a merger, business or asset sale, or a restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or as part of a bankruptcy.
  • Necessary or appropriate to enforce or apply our terms of use or other agreements, including for payment or collection purposes.

If you are based inside the European Economic Area, transferring your personal information outside of the European Economic Area

In certain circumstances, we may share your personal information with third parties or other members of the Dixon Group who are located outside of the EEA. Whenever we share your personal information with any such third parties, we will ensure that we have appropriate safeguards in place to ensure the protection of that information. For further information about the safeguards that we have in place, please contact us.

How long do we keep your personal information?

Our intention is to only store your personal information for as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes for which it was collected or as may be required by law. For example, where we provide you with a service, we will retain any information you provide to us at least for as long as we continue to provide that service to you and for such periods as we retain information for audit, record keeping, compliance and enforcement purposes. If your information is associated with a product or service warranty, we may retain your information for longer periods so that we may fulfill our warranty obligations.

If you apply for a job vacancy (or otherwise send us your resumé or CV) we will retain your resumé or CV (and any publicly available information, for example from social media) for a period of 1 (one) year following an employment decision. If we are considering you for a particular role, we may retain this information for longer than that period.  If we hire you, we will retain your resumé or CV for the length of your employment, plus seven (7) years.

In other circumstances, we will keep your information for as long as is necessary to allow us to achieve the original purpose for which that information was collected.

How do we protect your personal information?

We will take steps reasonably necessary so that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy.

We try to ensure that the information you provide to us is transferred securely via the website. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take reasonable steps to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to or from our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will apply appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

The information you provide to us may be stored on third party secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password – and your account - confidential. We ask you not to share a password or your account information with anyone.

What rights do you have with respect to your personal information?

For information that is subject to the GDPR, individuals have the following rights with respect to their personal information:

You have the right to be informed

We have written this policy to provide you with concise, transparent, intelligible, and easily accessible information about your personal information and our use of it. If you have any questions or require more specific information, please contact us.

You have the right to access your personal data

You have the right to ask us to confirm whether or not we hold any of your personal information. If we do, you may request a copy of your information and be informed of the following:

  • Why we have been using your information.
  • What categories of information we were using.
  • Who we have shared the information with.
  • How long we envisage holding your information.

In order to maintain the security of your information, we will have the right to verify your identity before we provide you with a copy of the information we hold.

The first copy of your information that you request from us will be provided free of charge, if you require further copies we may charge an administrative fee to cover our costs. Please contact us if you wish to request access to our data.

You have the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data

Where you have requested a copy of the information we hold about you, you may notice that there are inaccuracies in the records, or that certain parts are incomplete. If this is the case, you can contact us so that we can correct our records.

You have the right to be forgotten

There may be times where it is no longer necessary for us to hold personal information about you. This could be if:

  • The information is no longer needed for the original purpose that we collected it for.
  • You withdraw your consent for us to use the information (and we have no other legal reason to keep using it).
  • You object to us using your information and we have no overriding reason to keep using it.
  • We have used your information unlawfully.
  • We are subject to a legal requirement to delete your information.

In those situations, you have the right to have your personal data deleted. In certain situations, it may be required that an alternate, replacement contact be designated so that we may continue serving your organization. If you believe one of these situations applies to you, please contact us.

You have the right to have a copy of your data transferred to you or a third party in a compatible format

Also known as data portability, you may request a copy of your personal data for your own purposes. This allows you to move, copy or transfer your personal data more easily from one IT system to another, in a safe and secure way.

If you would like us to transfer a copy of your data to you or another organization in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, please contact us. There is no charge for you exercising this right.

You have the right to object to direct marketing

You can tell us at any time that you would prefer that we do not use your information for direct marketing purposes. If you would not like to receive any direct marketing from us, please contact us or use the links provided in any of our marketing communications, and we will stop sending direct marketing immediately.

You have the right to object to us using your information for our own legitimate interests

Sometimes, we use your personal information to achieve goals that will help us as well as you. This includes:

  • When we tell you about products or services that are similar to ones that you have already bought.
  • When we use your information to help us make our business better.
  • When we contact you to interact, communicate, or let you know about the changes we are making.

If you believe that the way we are using your data is not justified due to its impact on you or your rights, you may object. Unless we have a compelling reason to continue, we will stop using your personal data for such purposes.

To exercise your right to object to our use of your data for the purposes above, please contact us.

You have the right to restrict how we use your personal data

You may ask us to stop using your personal data in any way other than simply keeping a copy of it. This right is available where:

  • You have informed us that the information we hold about you is inaccurate, and we have not yet been able to verify this.
  • You have objected to us using your information for our own legitimate interests and we are in the process of considering your objection.
  • We have used your information in an unlawful way, but you do not want us to delete your data.
  • We no longer need to use the information, but you need it for a legal claim.

If you believe any of these situations apply, please contact us.

Any changes we make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by email. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy.

Supplemental CCPA Privacy Notice for California Residents

This Supplemental CCPA Privacy Notice for California Residents (the "CCPA Notice") applies solely to visitors and users residing in the State of California ("Consumers"). It supplements the Dixon Privacy Policy explained earlier on this page and is provided to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA").

The CCPA includes temporary exemptions regarding certain personal information collected in a business-to-business context ("B2B"). This CCPA Notice is not intended to and does not cover exempted or excluded information, and also does not apply to employment-related personal information collected from California-based employees, job applicants, contractors, or similar individuals.

Information We Collect

Dixon may have collected personal information from California Consumers within the last twelve (12) months in the following categories:

Identifiers

Examples: A real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name, Social Security number, driver's license number, passport number, or other similar identifiers.

Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e))

Examples: A name, signature, Social Security number, physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number, passport number, driver's license or state identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information. Some personal information included in this category may overlap with other categories.

Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law

Examples: Age (40 years or older), race, color, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, religion or creed, marital status, medical condition, physical or mental disability, sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy or childbirth, and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, veteran or military status, genetic information (including familial genetic information).

Commercial information

Examples: Records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies.

Biometric information

Examples: Genetic, physiological, behavioral, and biological characteristics or activity patterns used to extract a template or other identifier or identifying information, such as fingerprints, faceprints, and voiceprints, iris or retina scans, keystroke, gait, or other physical patterns, and sleep, health, or exercise data.

Examples: Browsing history, search history, information on a consumer's interaction with a website, application, or advertisement.

Professional or employment-related information

Examples: Current or past job history or performance evaluations.

Non-public education information (per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Section 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99))

Examples: Education records directly related to a student maintained by an educational institution or party acting on its behalf, such as grades, transcripts, class lists, student schedules, student identification codes, student financial information, or student disciplinary records.

Inferences drawn from other personal information

Examples: Profile reflecting a person's preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.

 

Sources of Personal Information and Purposes of Use

We may obtain personal information in the categories listed above directly from you (for example, from forms you complete or products and services you purchase) or indirectly (for example, from observing your actions on our website). We wish to receive only personal information which relates to you in your business capacity. Dixon does not wish to receive your private (non-business) contact or other personal information.

Personal information is used for our business purposes, such as to operate our business, for supplying and communicating with you about our products and services, to improve our website, to contact and interact with you (e.g., via email and messaging services), to verify your identity, to personalize your experience using the website, to maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our website and business, to protect from harm, to respond to your requests or otherwise fulfill or meet the reason for which you provided the information, for record keeping/accounting and as otherwise required by law, and for other purposes we describe when you provide the information.

Dixon does not wish to receive and does not knowingly collect information about minors under 16 years old.

Sharing of Personal Information

Dixon does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for consideration. Dixon believes that it does not “sell” personal information as the term is defined in the CCPA.

We do disclose or share personal information for our business purposes, such as with affiliated Dixon companies within The Dixon Group, and with certain third parties (e.g., to supply our products and services, and to process, support and fulfill your orders, and for the other purposes described above). This may include sharing with categories of third parties such as our contractors, service providers, suppliers, distributors and other third parties we use to conduct our business and related infrastructure (e.g., payment service providers, third-party services we use to verify and correct postal address and other shipping information, and contact management systems).

We also may make certain disclosures as required to comply with legal requirements or to prevent harm.

Dixon does not sell personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Your Rights Under the CCPA

The CCPA provides California Consumers with specific rights and provides temporary exemptions for certain information collected in a business-to-business context (“B2B”).

Right of Access and Portability of Data: The CCPA allows you to request certain information about the collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. However, because the personal information we collect is B2B personal information, we do not make access and portability rights available for such B2B personal information.

Deletion Rights: The CCPA allows you to request the deletion of personal information collected and retained, subject to certain exceptions provided in the CCPA. However, because the personal information we collect is B2B personal information, we do not make deletion rights available for such B2B personal information.

Opt-Out of Sales: California Consumers have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information.

Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising rights under the CCPA, but your exercise of rights may affect the level and types of offers, services, and products we may offer or provide to you.

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either calling us at 833.976.1849 or emailing us at [email protected].

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period, and any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer’s request. We will do our best to respond to verifiable requests in a timely manner as required by law. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.

Changes to this CCPA Notice

We reserve the right to amend this notice at our discretion and at any time. We note that the implementing regulations for the CCPA have not yet been finalized by the Attorney General of California and that we may update our policy and/or practices based on such final regulations or based on additional guidance when they are available. When we make changes to this notice, we will post the updated notice on the Dixon website and update the notice's date. Your continued use of our website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
