We may collect information or data about you when you use this Made Tech website, or you choose to engage with us using other public channels e.g. attending webinars, conferences, or interacting via social media.

Made Tech Group plc is committed to protecting and respecting your data privacy. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) under the UK Data Protection Act of 2018, registration number ZA490749. This Privacy Policy (together with any documents or linked content referred to herein) sets out the basis upon which the personal data we collect from you, or which you provide to us, will be processed and stored.

Please note that Made Tech provides a separate privacy notice for its recruitment activities, which will be relevant if you are applying for a position with us. 

Personal data we collect

  • Your personal information, including your name,  email address,  phone number and organisation name if you contact us.
  • Your IP address, and details of which version of the web browser you use.
  • Information on how you use the site, the pages you visit and how you interact with it, your use of cookies, and other page tagging techniques.

Careers and jobs pages

The careers and jobs pages of our website use activity tracking which collects high-level non-personal data to analyse the number of impressions, visits and clicks it gets. We don’t collect any personal data of any kind and it isn’t possible to identify individual people. We share these anonymous statistics with a partner agency to help us make these pages more useful to our users.

Sensitive personal data

The UK Data Protection Act 2018 specifies a set of personal data categories which are considered to be “sensitive”, and which require special consideration by Data Controllers. This website, and any services available from this website, do not knowingly collect or process any sensitive personal data.

Children’s personal data

This website, and any services available from this website, are not directed to children under the age of 13. If you learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with their personal information without having parental consent, please contact our Data Protection Officer (see below) immediately so that we can take appropriate action.

Where we process and store this information

  • We securely store your personal data on secure servers, located within the UK, European Union or the USA. Please be aware that personal data may be processed outside the UK or European Union. By submitting your personal data to us,  you are providing your consent to this.
  • Your contact and organisation details may also be stored on our secure, customer relationship management (CRM) systems – we use both Salesforce and Hubspot. These third-party services have been assessed as providing effective data security for all personal data: Salesforce Privacy Notice: https://salesforce.com/uk/company/privacy/ HubSpot Privacy Notice: https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy
  • We may store your personal data for up to five years (or as otherwise specified within our Data Retention Schedule), unless (a) you have given us your specific consent to continue storing it beyond this period, or (b) you have contracted with Made Tech as a customer, or (c) you have contacted us to request the deletion of your personal data.
  • Transmitting information over public internet connections is not secure, and Made Tech cannot guarantee or be responsible for the security of personal data you provide to us until the point at which it is securely stored within our systems. Any personal data you transmit is at your own risk.
  • Made Tech has ISO27001 certification for its Information Security Management System, which requires us to operate a framework of security policies and procedures to ensure the secure, responsible processing and storage of your personal data.

How we use your personal data

We may use your personal data to:

  • Analyse the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and help us improve the quality and content of marketing materials which we create.
  • Tailor our services to meet your requirements.

Legal basis for processing personal data

Under the UK Data Protection Act of 2018, we are required to confirm the “legal basis” for processing your personal data, as follows:

We do not share your personal information with any other organisations for marketing, market research or commercial purposes, or with any other websites without having your prior and express consent to do so.

If you unsubscribe from our marketing emails we aim to process your request within 24 hours of opt-out during the work week or the following work day if opted out during the weekend or bank holiday. Your email will automatically be removed from our marketing lists and your personal data will be deleted. Only your email address will be stored for 3 years after unsubscription, to ensure that we continue to comply with your opt-out request at which point it will be automatically deleted from Hubspot.
