Privacy Notice

Version 1 – (August 17th 2021 - Intergage)

Intergage collects data from visitors throughout the website experience. This is largely to provide interactive functionality that would otherwise be impossible without collecting the minimum amount of data. Some data is also used to analyse your experience anonymously to improve the website experience.
Intergage respects your privacy so we will not sell your data to third parties, allow any access to the data that isn’t necessary to honour any other contracts we have in place or store excessive amounts of data we no longer need.
Intergage will comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU May 25th 2018).

How we obtain your data

Intergage collects data from the Data Subject during the usage of this website. Some of that data may be Personally Identifiable Information. This may be entered into web forms or provided to the website by the browser (such as IP address).
Intergage may also obtain Personally Identifiable Information about the Data Subject from a Third Party as part of a contract to work with that data.
How we use your data
Intergage primarily uses data from the Data Subject either to serve a contract between Intergage and the Data Subject, or to provide necessary functionality on this website.
Intergage may also collect additional data to satisfy other legal requirements, such as is required for e-commerce.
Third Parties which have access to the data collected
Intergage works with several Third Parties to provide the service the Data Subject receives.
In all cases there is either an explicit contract in place between Intergage and the Third Party, Terms and Conditions or another legally binding relationship.

The data will likely be shared with:

Alphabet Inc (Google) – a suite of Google Tools is used by Intergage.

Mobile phones – our staff may enter your contact number into their phones for the purpose of a meeting and will then erase the number after the meeting.

Marketing

Intergage does not share your data with any Third Parties for marketing purposes unless the Data Subject has explicitly opted in.

Intergage may email or call businesses who operate within the sectors covered by our business as outreach. This is done under Legitimate Interest as there is a Legitimate Interest for both the recipient and Intergage in connecting. During this process personally identifiable information is avoided, we are targetting businesses and not individuals. Before contacting a prospective business the business website is checked, in doing so we may see publically available personally identifiable information. Publically available personal identifiable information displayed on the business website may be used during the initial outreach call or email.

Third Party Cookies

Intergage can largely operate without the use of third party cookies. However, in many cases third party cookies improve the website experience.
Intergage will not add social sharing buttons to the page unless the Data Subject has explicitly opted in to social cookies.
Intergage will not include any tracking systems unless the Data Subject has explicitly opted in to tracking cookies.
Intergage will allow Google Analytics to operate on this website in order to provide necessary anonymous analytical data. This may result in a small amount of Personally Identifiable Information being collected but this is only used as statistics and not for identification purposes.

Data Security and Storage

Intergage will store data for only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was obtained. Some data may be held for longer if it is either held on other systems that have not been updated, in backup data that has not expired or because of another lawful basis.
Intergage takes security seriously and makes use of technology where feasible to secure data and protect against breaches.
