Privacy and Data Collection Policy

Collection

Picobyte Solutions Limited (‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’) will only collect personal information which is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities or which is directly related to them.

Typically this information includes your name, address, contact details, account information, payment and financial information and your customer feedback. Usually there is no need for us to know any of your sensitive information (such as about your race, politics, religious or philosophical beliefs, or health) and we would only collect it if you consent or if the collection is required or authorised by law or court order or in other limited circumstances which the law permits.

Our primary purpose for collecting and holding personal information from our customers is so we can supply our products and services to you, or other purpose we disclose to you at the time we collect the information. Related purposes (‘secondary purposes’) include to assess your orders and perform credit checks, for billing, credit and account management, for product, process and system improvement and development, to obtain customer feedback and to inform you about our products and promotions, and to comply with our legal obligations.

Usually we collect personal information about you directly from you or your authorised representative, for example when you order a product or service from us, submit a credit application, contact us with an inquiry or complaint, pay a bill or complete a customer survey. We may collect personal information from our related group companies, affiliates and channel partners. We may also collect personal information from someone else for example credit related information from a third party agency. We also collect some information when you use our websites (see the Marketing section below).

If we ask you to tell us personal information and you choose not to, we may not be able to provide our services to you, or answer your inquiries.

Use and Disclosure

We only use or disclose personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy.

We use or disclose personal information for the primary purpose of supplying our products and services to you. We also use or disclose it for a secondary purpose as outlined above if you consent, or you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose it for that purpose.

We may use or disclose personal information if required or authorised by law, if necessary in relation to a suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct related to our functions or activities or if reasonably necessary for enforcement related activities of an enforcement body or to assist in locating a missing person. For example we may disclose personal information to law enforcement bodies and to others if required or authorised by warrant or court order or other legal obligation. 

We may use or disclose personal information if necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety and it is unreasonable or impracticable to obtain consent. We may use or disclose personal information if reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend a claim or for the purposes of confidential alternative dispute resolution.

We may also disclose it to our third party service providers and suppliers if required for the purposes set out in this policy. For example, we may disclose personal information to other suppliers who help us deliver the services to you, to identity check, debt collection and credit reporting agencies, and to outsourced customer support providers. We may also disclose information in relation to a transfer or sale of all or part of our assets or business.
