Privacy notice

How we use your information

This privacy notice tells you what to expect when Middlestone Limited and its subsidiaries (“we” or “us”) collect personal information. It applies to information we collect about:

  • visitors to our websites;
  • people who call or email us;
  • people who use our services;
  • job applicants and our current and former employees.

Visitors to our websites

When someone visits www.appinsight.co.uk we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way that does not 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. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be upfront about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

Website host

We use a third-party service to host our website. Our site is by Webflow, Inc. We use a standard service to collect anonymous information about users' activity on the site, for example, the number of users viewing pages on the site, to monitor and report on the effectiveness of the site and help us improve it. For more information about how Webflow processes data, please see https://webflow.com/legal/privacy.

People who call us

When you call us we collect Calling Line Identification (CLI) information. We use this information to help improve our efficiency and effectiveness.

We monitor telephone calls for the purposes of ensuring compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations and internal policies.

People who email us

Any email sent to us, including any attachments, may be monitored and used by us for reasons of security and for monitoring compliance with office policy. Email monitoring or blocking software may also be used. Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send to us is within the bounds of the law.

People who use our services

We offer various services to businesses. When we first start providing a service to any business we make up a file containing the details of the business and relevant people involved in the business.

We will use the personal information we collect to confirm the business’ identify, to provide our services, for debt recovery and to check on the level of service we provide. We will keep personal information contained in client files in line with our legal requirement and retention policy. This means that information relating to clients will be retained for six years from the end of the client relationship.

Job applicants, current and former employees

When individuals apply to work at Middlestone Limited or it’s subsidiaries, we will only use the information they supply to us to process their application and to monitor recruitment statistics. Where we want to disclose information to a third party, for example where we want to take up a reference or obtain a ‘disclosure’ from the Criminal Records Bureau we will not do so without informing them beforehand unless the disclosure is required by law.

Personal information about unsuccessful candidates will be held for 12 months after the recruitment exercise has been completed, it will then be destroyed or deleted. We retain de-personalised statistical information about applicants to help inform our recruitment activities, but no individuals are identifiable from that data.

Once a person has taken up employment with us, we will compile a file relating to their employment. The information contained in this will be kept secure and will only be used for purposes directly relevant to that person’s employment. Once their employment with us has ended, we will retain the file in accordance with the requirements of our retention schedule and then delete it.

Complaints or queries

We try to meet the highest standards when collecting and using personal information. For this reason, we take any complaints we receive about this very seriously. We encourage people to bring it to our attention if they think that our collection or use of information is unfair, misleading or inappropriate. We would also welcome any suggestions for improving our procedures.

This privacy notice was drafted with brevity and clarity in mind. It does not provide exhaustive detail of all aspects of our collection and use of personal information. However, we are happy to provide any additional information or explanation needed. Any requests for this should be sent to the address below.

Access to personal information

We try to be as open as we can be in terms of giving people access to their personal information. Individuals can find out if we hold any personal information by making a ‘subject access request’ under the Data Protection Act 1998. If we do hold information about you we will:

  • give you a description of it;
  • tell you why we are holding it;
  • tell you who it could be disclosed to; and
  • let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form.

To make a formal request for any personal information we may hold, you need to put the request in writing to our Information Governance department, at the address provided below.

If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by providing you with the specific information you need over the telephone.

If we do hold information about you, you can ask us to correct any mistakes by, once again, contacting the Information Governance department.
