You should check their Privacy Policy when you provide your information to understand fully how they will process and safeguard your data.

Information available publicly

We may include information found in places such as Companies House and information that has been published in articles/ newspapers.

Why We Collect Your Personal Information and How We Use It

The information we hold on you will be used in a number of ways. Here are the main ones: to provide a service you have requested, offer you a personalised experience and understand our customers’ needs better, inform you of events or updates you’ve asked for or contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information (e.g. service changes).

Specifically, we use your information we collect in the following ways:

To carry out our business and to provide a service or carry out a contract with you:

  • Internal record keeping
  • Deliver services
  • Process payments. Please note that Celestify only stores the bank account and sort code details required to make and receive payments from customer organisations.

Where we have your consent:

  • We may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.

Where we have justifiable reason (including legal obligation and legitimate interest):

  • Learn about your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information that is relevant to you.
  • Help us target our marketing communications and adverts so that they’re more relevant to you.

How We Handle Your Information and Other Organisations

Celestify will never share, sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes.

Some of our service providers may have access to your data in order to perform services on our behalf – payment processing is a good example of this. We make sure anyone who provides a service for Celestify enters into an agreement with us and meets our standards for data security. They will not use your data for anything other than the clearly defined purpose relating to the service that they are providing.

We may share your details with:

  • Service providers who work on behalf of Celestify for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you, for example payment processing, printers and mailing houses, database services, website hosting or email delivery.
  • Where required to do so (for example, if required to do so by a court order), or when requested by the police or a regulatory or government authority investigating illegal activities.

Celestify is not responsible for the privacy notices and practices of other websites even if accessed using links from www.celestify.com and recommends that you check the policy of each website you visit and contact its owner or Data Protection Officer if you have any concerns or questions.

Despite all our precautions, no data transmission over the internet is 100% secure. So, we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you disclose to us and so wish to draw your attention to the fact that you do so at your own risk.

How We Protect Your Data

Celestify is committed to protecting the personal information you entrust to us. We adopt robust and appropriate technologies and policies, so the information we have about you is protected from unauthorised access and improper use.

As part of the services offered to you through Celestify website, the personal information you provide may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). By way of example, this may happen if any of the computer servers used to send an email are located in a country outside of the EEA. If Celestify transfers your personal information outside of the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this privacy notice.

Celestify may transfer your data to the USA to organisations such as Facebook or Google. The USA has weaker data protection laws than that of the EEA and therefore we will ensure that only organisations who are a part of the EU privacy shield initiative will handle your personal information. More details on this certification can be found at www.privacyshield.gov/welcome

We will keep your information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice and to fulfil our legal obligations. We will not keep more information than we need. The retention period will vary according to the purpose, for example if applying for a job at Celestify, we will typically keep your data for up to one year from the date of your last application whereas if you have purchased services from Celestify we may hold your details for up to 10 years. For further information about how long we will keep your information, please contact the Data Protection Manager using the contact details outlined in this notice.

If you ask us to stop sending direct marketing communications to you, we will keep the minimum amount of information (e.g. name, address or email address) to ensure we adhere with such requests.

Job applicants, current and former employees

When you apply to work for us we will use your personal information to process your application. We may disclose your information to a third party in order to obtain a reference or obtain a “disclosure” from the Criminal Records Bureau. We will not do this without informing you beforehand unless the disclosure is required by law.

Information about unsuccessful candidates may be held for 6 months after the recruitment campaign has been completed, after which it will be destroyed or deleted.

We compile files for all of our employees and these files contain information relating to your employment. This file will be kept secure and will only be used for purposes directly related to your employment. When you leave our employment the file will be retained in accordance with our Document Retention Policy.
