5. Our lawful basis for using your information
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
For our B2B business development and marketing activities, we generally rely on our legitimate interests.
Our legitimate interests include developing our business and professional network, identifying and communicating with relevant industry professionals, promoting relevant PRAGMA events and activities, and sharing research and information that we reasonably believe may be relevant to recipients in their professional capacity.
We have considered these interests against the rights and interests of the individuals whose information we process.
Where we rely on consent for a particular activity, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
6. B2B marketing communications
PRAGMA communicates primarily with professionals in their business capacity.
We may contact relevant professionals about PRAGMA events, research, industry initiatives, services and other activities that we reasonably believe may be relevant to their professional role or organisation.
This may include professionals whose business contact information we have identified through publicly available sources or reputable professional information providers.
Where required, our communications provide a way for you to unsubscribe or tell us that you do not wish to receive further marketing.
You may object to receiving direct marketing from us at any time.
7. Email marketing and opting out
Marketing communications may be sent directly by members of the PRAGMA team or through our email marketing systems.
You can stop receiving marketing communications at any time by:
• clicking the unsubscribe link contained in our marketing emails; or
• replying to an email and asking us not to contact you for marketing purposes.
When you unsubscribe or object to marketing, we may retain limited information, including your email address, on a suppression list. This is necessary to ensure that we respect your request and do not accidentally add you back to our marketing communications in the future.
We will not use information held on our suppression list to send you further direct marketing.
8. How we store and manage your information
We use appropriate business systems and service providers to manage professional relationships, communications, events and marketing.
These may include customer relationship management systems, email marketing platforms and other technology providers acting on our behalf.
Where third-party providers process personal information on our behalf, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the information is handled securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
9. International transfers
PRAGMA operates internationally and works with organisations and service providers in different countries.
As a result, personal information may be processed or stored outside the United Kingdom.
Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer of personal information, we take appropriate steps to ensure that relevant safeguards are in place.
10. How long we keep your information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including maintaining relevant professional and business relationships and meeting legal, regulatory or record-keeping requirements.
We periodically review the professional contact information we hold and may update or remove information that is no longer relevant or accurate.
Where you have asked us not to send you marketing, we may retain the minimum information necessary on a suppression list for the purpose of respecting your request.
11. Sharing your information
We may share personal information where reasonably necessary with:
• companies within PRAGMA's corporate group;
• CRM and email marketing providers;
• authorities or other parties where required by law.
We do not sell personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
12. Your rights
Depending on where you are located and the applicable law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information.
Under UK data protection law, these may include rights to:
• access personal information we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion of your information in certain circumstances;
• restrict certain processing;
• object to certain processing, including processing for direct marketing;
• request the transfer of certain information; and
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
The right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing can be exercised at any time.
To exercise your rights, contact us at [tazmyn.gounden@pragma-energy.com].
You also have the right to make a complaint to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you have concerns about how we handle your personal information.
13. US residents
If you are located in the United States, additional privacy rights may apply depending on the state in which you reside and whether the relevant privacy law applies to PRAGMA.
Where applicable, these may include rights to request information about personal information we hold, request correction or deletion, and exercise other privacy rights provided under applicable state law.
You can contact us at [tazmyn.gounden@pragma-energy.com] with any privacy request.
PRAGMA's commercial email communications to US recipients are also managed in accordance with applicable US electronic marketing requirements, including providing appropriate mechanisms for recipients to opt out of future marketing communications.
