The term “sensitive personal data” refers to the various categories of personal data identified by European and other data privacy laws as requiring special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain explicit consent.

6bythree does not generally seek to collect sensitive personal data through our website.

If we do collect such data, we will ask you to expressly consent to our proposed uses of the data. If you provide us with unsolicited sensitive personal data, you are consenting to our use of that data subject to applicable law.

These categories comprise personal identity numbers, data about personality and private life, financial account information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of political parties or movements, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, membership of a trade union, physical or mental health, biometric or genetic data, addictions, sexual life, property matters or criminal record (including information about suspected criminal activities).

6bythree will not sell or share your personal data with third parties. However, there may be instances when we need to share or disclose personal data you provide for a specific purpose. For example:

  • We may need to share certain personal data, like food preferences to caterers if we are managing a training course or a jointly sponsored event and these other parties have a business need to know this information. We will inform you at the time of collection that the personal data will be shared with our partners and you will have the option of providing it or not providing it.
  • We may need to disclose your personal data to third parties if we sell or liquidate any part of our business or assets. Clients’ personal data can be one of the transferred business assets in such circumstances.

  • We may need to disclose or share your personal data with our partners to register your interest in their product or service, or to instruct them to follow up your enquiry about their product or service.

We also may provide aggregate, non-personally identifiable data (“Aggregate Information”) to third parties, including information about your access and use of the website. For example, we might provide such Aggregate Information to a third party to inform the party of the number of users of the site and the activities that they conduct while on the site.

Data Security

We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is secure.

In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal data we collect.

These measures include multi-factor authentication controls for accessing personal data stored in our internal management systems.

Data Retention

We will make reasonable efforts to delete or destroy personal data when there is no longer a business need to retain it.

The type of engagement you may have with us dictates our retention period for your personal information.

We will retain information only for as long as is necessary. Should you cease to be a customer, we will delete data that is no longer relevant though we will be obliged to retain some data that is necessary for legal and accounting reasons. As part of our commitment to data minimisation we shall conduct data culling at least once a year.
