Our Privacy Policy will help you understand what information we collect and process using this Northdown Systems website, how we use it, and what choices you have about your personal data. When we refer to “Northdown Systems” within this Privacy Policy, we are referring to Northdown Systems Limited of 50 Princes Street, Ipswich, Suffolk IP1 1RJ, the company which provides this website, and any services or features which may be made available to you from this website.

Data Protection Framework
Northdown Systems is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as a Data Controller under the UK Data Protection Act of 2018. We have also aligned our Privacy Policy with the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), which came into effect on 25 May 2018 under the supervision of the ICO within the UK. Northdown Systems has completed applicable Privacy Impact Assessments (also known as Data Protection Impact Assessments under GDPR) for activities related to this website, which are available from the Data Protection Officer (see Section 9).
1. Customer and Citizen Data
You may decide to send us your personal information via this website if you are seeking more information, requesting to attend one of our events, or for other similar purposes. Your decision to disclose your personal data is entirely voluntary, and by doing so, you are providing us with specific consent to use your personal data only for the purposes for which you have disclosed it to us.
Northdown Systems may access and use your Customer Data only for the purposes for which you have submitted it to us to (a) provide information to you, (b) make contact with you, (c) provide services to you, or (d) maintain the operations and security of the website and services we provide to you. We will not use your personal information for any other purposes, for example, the communication of marketing material, unless we have your specific consent to do so.
We will at all times handle and store your personal data in accordance with industry best practice aligned with ISO 27001, the international standard for information security. This includes the activities and procedures undertaken by our own personnel and any authorised third parties (see Section 5), and the technical controls which we have implemented to prevent unauthorised access, compromise or theft of information from our applications, supporting computer systems and premises.
2. Sensitive Personal Data
GDPR specifies a set of personal data categories considered “sensitive” and requiring special consideration by data controllers. This website, and any services available from this website, do not knowingly collect or process any sensitive personal data, and supporting Privacy Impact Assessments (also known as Data Protection Impact Assessments under GDPR) are available upon request from our Data Protection Officer (see Section 9).
3. 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, don't hesitate to get in touch with our Data Protection Officer (see Section 9) immediately so that we can take appropriate action.
4. Customer and Citizen Data Rights
