Sharing your information

We will not use this information for any other reason than to call you back if you have asked us to do so, if your call drops, or if there is a problem with the line.

Emailing us
Data that we process is in the UK at the above business address. We do utilise cloud computing applications such as Google Mail which potentially means that data may be stored outside of the UK.

We apply UK data protection law and the GDPR conditions to our processing.

Visitors to our website

Analytics
When you visit h2o-creative.com, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitors behaviour patterns. We do this to find out such things as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way that does not directly identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. As this is a third-party service, this potentially means that data may be stored outside of the UK.

We apply UK data protection law and the GDPR conditions to our processing.

If we do collect personal data through our website, we will be upfront about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and we will explain what we intend to do with it.

You can set your browser not to accept cookies and the above websites tell you how to remove cookies from your browser.

We use a cookies tool on our website to gain consent for the optional cookies that we use. Cookies that are necessary for functionality, security and accessibility are set and are not deleted by the tool. You can read more about how we use cookies, and how to change your cookies preferences, on our Cookies notice page.

Purpose and legal basis for processing: The purpose for implementing the above is to maintain and monitor the performance of our website and to constantly look to improve the site and the services it offers to our users. The lawful basis we rely on to process your personal data is either Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, for example when we require your consent for the optional cookies we use, or Article 6(1)(f) which allows us to process personal data when it’s necessary for our legitimate interests. For example in order to maintain the integrity of our IT systems and the continuity of our business.

We meet visitors at our office, including:

• Prospective clients;
• Current clients;
• External training providers;
• Job applicants; and
• Suppliers and tradespeople.

Any CCTV used in our office building is not operated by us, so we are not the controller. It is under the control of the relevant building landlord.
