Lawful basis for processing your data

Optimal and its subsidiaries will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Optimal would like to keep in touch with you to let you know about its latest news and provide you with updates on relevant products and services for marketing purposes; to communicate with stakeholders, potential and existing customers and others who expressly choose to submit their personal data through our website. We value your privacy and will only process personal data in these circumstances where your consent is first provided by you. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us via email: enquiries@optimal.world.
  • Where it is necessary for the purposes of performing an existing contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. This may include activity for legitimate business purposes and for developing customer relationships, such as:
  • Contacting you as a potential or existing customer for the purposes of selling goods or services
  • To provide useful, informative and relevant information to you about our services and to grow our business

How do we store your data?

We store your data on two different platforms:

  • On-premises server
  • Public and private cloud-based storage

We may need to transfer and store information outside the European Economic Area (EEA). It may also be processed by persons operating outside the EEA. Where we send your personal data outside the EEA we will ensure that any organisations we work with have the same commitment to privacy as us. By submitting your details, you agree to this transfer.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our sites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

We will only hold your personal data in a form that permits identification and for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was processed.

Any personal data that is required for purposes of the conclusion and execution of agreements with business customers, suppliers and business partners or for considering bids or tenders will be held during the duration of the contractual relationship and up to 6 years thereafter.

Unless we process and approve a request to delete your data, we will hold your data for 6 years from the point at which we first processed your data for marketing purposes.

Marketing

Optimal may send you information about products and services of ours that we think you might like. If you have agreed to receive marketing, you may always opt out at a later date. You have the right at any time to stop Optimal from contacting you for marketing purposes.

If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please send an email to enquiries@optimal.world
