Our legal basis for processing your personal information
We promise that we shall only use your data in the way you wish, and we shall always respect your privacy. We process your data under the following legal grounds:
· The processing is necessary to meet contractual obligations into which you have entered as a customer, worker or supplier. Where required, failure to provide mandatory data fields identified by a ‘*’ will mean that we shall be unable to do so.
· The lawful justification for sending you marketing communications about our business, services and news is because we have a legitimate business interest for your data to be used for this specific purpose. You are in complete control of your data and can choose not to receive these messages, either when you first provide your data, or in every communication we send you afterwards. These marketing communications include:
o Email notifications and letters where you have provided us with your email address
o Postal / telephone marketing, though we shall always check telephone numbers against the Telephone and Corporate Telephone Preference Services and will only make telephone calls to you where your number is listed if you have told us that we may do so.

· To workers who deliver our services

o to Google who provides advertisement and data analysis service for us

We shall keep your personal data within Gene-Biocon and our trusted third parties except where disclosure is required by law, for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies.
How long we keep your personal information
We only keep your personal information for as long as we need to, so that we can use it for the reasons described above. Where your information is no longer required or is no longer relevant, we will ensure it is disposed of securely.
The actual period for which we store your personal information will vary depending on the type of personal information and how it is used. For example:
· Customer personal details for marketing information will be held for a period of 12 months since your last interaction with us.
· To make sure that you do not receive marketing from us after you have told us to stop sending it, we need to keep a record of that instruction with your contact details. We shall hold that information until you tell us otherwise.
· CVs and interview notes from unsuccessful applicants will be held for 6 months after notifying you that you have not been successful.
· Where necessary, we shall keep your personal data for as long as required to do so by law; and where required to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
