PRIVACY POLICY OF ALLAN CURRAN ARCHITECTS LTD

COMMITMENT

The ethos behind the privacy policy I, John Curran, have for my company, Allan Curran Architects Ltd (Registered Number NI49710), is that I ensure my company handles any information you provide to me in the way I want my own information to be handled. This means:

  • it is handled with respect and care;
  • only used for the purposes for which you have given it to me; and
  • consent for use of your data is as easy for you to withdraw as it is for you to give.

This privacy policy explains what personal data my company, Allan. Curran Architects Ltd., collects about you, how and why it uses it, and how it protects your privacy.

I aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. In the unlikely event this is not possible, due for example, to the complexity of the request, I will notify you.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES ALLAN CURRAN ARCHITECTS LTD COLLECT ABOUT YOU AND HOW DOES IT COLLECT IT?

Allan. Curran Architects Ltd. collects the following personal data on the basis that you consent to me collecting and using it:

Allan. Curran Architects Ltd. e-newsletter

I use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver my e-newsletter. MailChimp’s servers are located in the United States and MailChimp participates in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, which requires providers to have equivalence safeguards in place when they transfer personal data between the EU and US.

The basis of my use of your data will be the consent you provide me when you sign up to be a customer.

I will not sell or distribute your personal information to third parties, for the third parties mentioned in this Privacy Policy only for the purposes described. I will only disclose personal information to other third parties if:
