PRIVACY POLICY

Current Compass (“Current Compass”) which is owned by MDL Marinas Ltd, sets out in this Privacy Notice how it handles personal data under the GDPR as amended, implemented, and expanded by the Data Protection Act 2018 and secondary legislation made under it (together “the Data Protection Legislation”). Current Compass has notified the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) that it holds personal data as a data controller (and its details can be checked at the ICO under No. Z5608424).

Terms which are given specific meanings in the Data Protection Legislation, such as “personal data,” “data controller,” and “data processor,” have the same meanings in this Privacy Notice.

Under the Data Protection Legislation, Current Compass has a legal duty to protect any information we collect from you or receive from third-party sources about you. We set out below the sources of data relating to you that we process.

We won’t share your information with any other organisations for marketing, market research, or commercial purposes, and we don’t pass your details to other websites.

Current Compass is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. We adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures to mitigate security risks and to ensure that:

  1. We process data in strict compliance with Data Protection Legislation; ii. We can respond in a timely manner to subject access requests; iii. We can detect and report data breaches.

We hold your data in the UK. Where we do not own the systems on which personal data is held, the data is held on our behalf by a data processor operating under a written data processing agreement that complies with the Data Protection Legislation.

This privacy notice describes how we collect and use personal information about you, in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation. We may update this notice at any time. The date at the top of the policy is the date on which the data policy was last revised.

For data protection purposes, Current Compass  is the “data controller.” This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you.

  • We are required by law to notify you of the information that is contained in this privacy notice.
  • This notice does not form part of any contract between you and Current Compass.

It is important that you read this notice, together with any other privacy notices we may provide from time to time, so that you are aware of how and why Current Compass is using such information.
