Phil Mac Associates T/A Agbioinvestor Privacy Policy Statement
Phil Mac Associates trading as AgbioInvestor (“we“, “our“, “us” or “AgbioInvestor“) is committed to protecting the privacy of all users (“user” or “you“) who access our website and/or use our products and services (the “Services“). This online privacy policy is designed to tell you about how we collect and use your personal information so that you can make an informed choice about using the Services we offer. We are the “controller” under the General Information Protection Regulations (EU) 2016/679 and are committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy.
How We Collect Your Personal Information
We collect your personal information when you interact with us or you use our Services.
We collect personal information when you:
- sign up to our subscription services;
- engage our consultancy services;
- create an account with us or change your account settings;
- use the website www.agbioinvestor.com and
- contact us directly via email, phone or post.
We may also collect information for publically accessible sources or directly from third parties.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
When you use our Services you may be asked to provide personal information including your company name, contact details, address and payment information such as bank account information.
We also collect information about your usage of the Services and information about when you contact us or provide us with feedback, including via e-mail, letter and phone.
Our Use Of Your Personal Information
We will only process the personal information we collect about you if there is a reason for doing so, and if that reason is permitted under data protection law. We will have a lawful basis for processing your information if: we need to process your information in order to provide you with the Services you have use or have requested to use; we have your consent; we have a justifiable reason for processing your personal information; or we are under a legal obligation to do so.
In some cases the personal information we collect from you might be processed outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) in which AgbioInvestor operates. These countries may not have the same protections for your personal information as the EEA has. However, we are obliged to ensure that the personal information that is processed by us and our suppliers outside of the EEA is protected in the same ways as it would be if it was processed within the EEA. There are therefore certain safeguards in place when your information is processed outside of the EEA. We ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that safeguards are implemented.
Sharing and Disclosing Your Personal Information
Any personal information that you give us will be treated with the utmost care and security.
We are very careful and transparent about who we share your personal information with and we may use and disclose personal information for any of the following reasons:
