Who is in charge of your information
​
In respect of the personal information you give us when you visit the Distillery website, we are the “data controller” responsible for that information.
The information we collect about you, how we will collect it, why we collect it and what we will do with it
We will collect the information that you provide in any correspondence with us, including your name and email address, and we will use that information to respond to you, and to communicate with you about your work with Distillery, for example to let you know about any updates or changes to Distillery. We will collect the information you provide to us when submitting a contact form directly on the Distillery website, and will use this to communicate with you regarding your work with Distillery.
We also gather certain statistical information about how you access and use our website, such as your browser version and the pages you access during a session, in order to help us build a general picture about how people use our website, and to identify technical or usability problems with it. We do this in order to help us make our website better. We do not retain this statistical information in a way which identifies you personally.
​
Who we will share your personal information with
​
We will not share your data with any third parties and we will not transfer your data outside the European Economic Area.
​
The legal basis on which we deal with your personal information
​
Under the data protection law from May 2018 we have a number of lawful reasons that we can use (or ‘process’) your personal information. One of the lawful reasons is called ‘legitimate interests’.
​
Broadly speaking Legitimate Interests means that we can process your personal information if we have a genuine and legitimate reason and we are not harming any of your rights and interests.
​
So, what does this mean? When you visit our website, we may use legitimate interests for preventing fraud, maintaining the security of our system, data analytics, enhancing, modifying or improving our services, identifying usage trends and determining the effectiveness of our campaigns.
