Our basis for processing personal information

 

ABM will only ever process your personal information if we have a legal basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on are;

• Contract – this is where the processing of your information is required by ABM to satisfy a contractual arrangement that ABM has agreed with you.

• Consent – this is where ABM has requested you to provide unambiguous permission to process your data for a particular purpose.

• Legitimate interests - this is where ABM relies on its business interests as a purpose for processing. This is to provide you with the best products and services most securely and appropriately.

• Legal obligation – this is where ABM has a statutory or other legal obligation to process the information to comply with the law.

If you do not provide the necessary information when requested ABM may not be able to fulfil existing contractual arrangements with you, enter into new contracts with you, or meet our legal commitments. Therefore, ABM may be unable to provide you with our products or services and may have to cancel existing contractual arrangements.

 

Who do we share your data with?

 

ABM may share personal information with third parties for the following purposes:

 

• Third-party providers that support ABM operate our business, including providers of analytics, publishers, payment processing, technology services, marketing, advertising, data storage, and hosting

• Law enforcement agencies and regulators, to meet ABM’s legal responsibilities and process requests or orders received from those bodies

• Courts, legal counsels, or other parties, where required by ABM, and in respect of legal proceedings, claims, and complaints in this context

• Where ABM is sold or unified with another organisation, our advisers and any potential purchaser’s adviser, and the new owners of the business.

 

Your confidentially is of the highest importance to ABM, we would only sell your personal information where you have provided explicit consent to do so, and it is legal.

 

Cookies

 

Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that the ABM website places on your computer or device when you visit our site. ABM uses cookies to help users browse our website effectively and perform certain functions.

You can disable cookies, though this may limit the functionality of the ABM website.

Data security

 

ABM takes data privacy and the protection of your personal information seriously. In this case, we will take appropriate technical and management measures to ensure that your personal information is protected under our supervision. We implement appropriate security measures according to the type of processing and frequently check these measures to confirm that they are still applicable.

 

Data retention

 

ABM will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for the purpose it was collected, which means it will be destroyed when it is no longer needed.

In some cases, ABM may anonymise your personal information for research or statistical purposes (which means it is no longer linked to you), in which case ABM may use this information indefinitely, without notice.

 

Third-party links

 

We want your experience of the ABM website to be the most informative and useful as possible. ABM may provide appropriate links to websites operated by third parties. However, ABM does not have control over these sites, and we do not assume any responsibility. We recommend that you carefully read the privacy policy of each website you visit before providing any personal information through these websites.
