Do we share your personal data with anyone else?
We share your data with our parent company VMT GmbH in Germany, as we share some business operating systems, and therefore it is necessary for our services. We may share your personal data with other third parties where this is necessary to enable those third parties to provide services to us, but only within the context of the processing mentioned above. In each such case, we will retain control of the use of your personal data, and we will have a contract with the third party which protects your personal data against unauthorised use or disclosure and allows the third party to use the personal data only in accordance with our instructions.
We may also share your personal data with others if we are required to do so by law or in any other circumstances where the applicable regulations specifically permit us to do so in the absence of your prior consent.
If any of our business is transferred to someone else (for example, because someone buys our business), then your personal data may be transferred as part of that transfer. If that involves someone other than us becoming the controller of your personal data, you will be informed within a reasonable time. In any case, anyone to whom your personal data is transferred will be required to continue to process it only in accordance with this policy.
Where do we process it?
We process personal data for ZED Engineered Systems through ZED Tunnel Guidance Ltd in the UK, for some purposes, our systems are also accessed by our German sister company. This is again within the EEA. Should your data be transferred outside of the EEA, and these countries do not have the same levels of adequacy as defined by the EU, we will take steps to ensure there are arrangements made so that your personal data is treated with the same levels of privacy as we offer – for example Standard Contractual Clauses or for the US, Privacy Shield.
How long will we keep your personal data?
Users’ Personal Data will be kept for the duration of their relationship with Zed and for the time necessary to fulfil the purposes described above but for no longer than 10 years after the conclusion of the relationship.
