The purpose and legal basis for processing your data
We process your personal data in accordance with the following lawful bases:
Legitimate interest: the main reason for our collection, use, processing, transferring, and disclosure of your personal data is for the purpose of providing our customer services to our valued customers.

We will never forward your data to any third party without your express permission. You can withdraw your consent at any time by letting us know.
Where and how we store your personal data
Any personal data we collect from you will be transferred to and stored on our database server. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing, and processing of your data. We will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure your data is managed securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Should you not wish us to process your data, then simply let us know.
Keeping your personal data secure
We take the safety and protection of your personal data very seriously and take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is protected. However, the transmission of information via the internet is never completely secure and therefore we cannot give an absolute guarantee as to the safety of data transmitted to our site or any third party.
While any transmission of data is taken at your own risk, we work with our IT and storage providers to ensure they can provide ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services, to make breaches far less likely.
We will work with our IT and storage providers and own internal staff to ensure appropriate organisational and technical measures are taken against any unauthorised or illegal processing of your personal data, including the accidental loss of or damage to it.
We have worked to ensure we have the technology, procedures, and appropriate training of relevant individuals to keep your personal data secure and safe from when we collect it, until it is no longer processed or required, or removed at your request.
Data removal
We do not hold personal data for longer than we are required to do so. We hold information for three years from the last point of engagement.
You may request we remove or update your information as necessary. If your data has not been accessed in 36 months, either through use of our services or where we have not contacted each other, relevant records will be archived as appropriate.
Your rights in relation to personal data
Where we process data, we understand that you have certain rights listed as follows:
In all instances relating to your personal data, queries, requests and so on, please email info@osheasales.com and title your email ‘Data Subject Information’; including your name and contact details. We may need to contact you to verify your identity. We will then process your request within 30 days.
Right to be informed
Where you provide your personal data directly to us, we will communicate our Privacy Policy to you at the earliest opportunity or as soon as is reasonably practicable. We will usually do this at the first point we correspond with each other. Our usual format for this is via email where you will find a link to this Privacy Policy, which can also be found on our website.
Right of access
If you wish to receive a copy of personally identifiable data we store about you, this can be made available on request. Please contact us and make the appropriate request.
We will not charge you for supplying copies of your personal data in the first instance. However, in the event we find data subject access requests to be manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly where repetitive, we will need to consider the effort required to handle such requests and charge a reasonable administrative fee.
Right to rectification
Where you feel the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to advise us and we will rectify such data in accordance with your instructions.
Right to erasure
If you no longer want us to process your personal data, we can remove your personally identifiable data from our databases on request. To do this please contact us, including your name, contact details, and reason why you no longer want us to process your data. To ensure we are sending your personal data to you, we may need to contact you to verify your identity. Once we have verified your identity, we will aim to erase all related personally identifiable data as soon as we can. We will aim to action your request within two working days, though we will contact you to let you know once completed.
Should you change your mind or require our services at a later date you will need to provide your personal data again.
Right to restrict processing
If at any point you object to us using your data in a particular way, you have the right to suppress or block us from processing your data. For example, if you do not want us to use your data for marketing purposes, simply let us know.
Right to data portability
Where you have provided your data directly to us and it is processed by automated means, you have the right to receive personal data back from us in a structured machine readable format and, where you request (and if possible), we will transmit your personal data to another data controller. We will always try to facilitate such requests where it is technically feasible to do so.
Please note this right is only applicable where the processing is based on the individual’s consent or for the performance of a contract.
Right to object
In the event you object to our processing of your data, where we have identified that such processing is based upon legitimate interest and you believe there are no grounds for us to continue to process your data, then you have the right to object.
Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling
In the event we use automated decision-making software in the future, and if you disagree with any decision that affects you, you will have the right to object.
Additional comments in relation to your rights
While we understand your rights as detailed above and will assist you with them wherever possible, please note that we may continue to store, or otherwise use, your personal data, where we have a legitimate interest or a legal or contractual obligation to do so. Our processing in that respect will be limited to what is necessary to perform those interests or obligations.
We may also need to retain a record where we help you with any of the rights detailed above to keep a record of the request along with the action taken, so we can evidence our compliance, as well as ensure that where we receive your data in the future, i.e. from a third-party source, we will know that we should not process your data. Should you wish to change your mind at any point, simply contact us and we will be happy to help.
