How and Why We Use Personal Data:

This section explains in detail how and why we use personal data. To collect and process

are contract, where processing is necessary to perform our agreement with you (such as your
membership); consent, where you have agreed to your information being used for a specific
purpose (for example, sharing details with a third party running an event you have registered
for); and legitimate interests, where the processing is in the legitimate interests of Digital
Jersey and aligns with what you would reasonably expect.

We use personal data to:

Marketing

Digital Jersey is the ambassador of the innovation and technological development sector in Jersey, and we want to tell everyone about what is happening. There are unique, creative people and companies in Jersey doing amazing things with technology every day, from intelligent fields to laser tagging Asian Hornets so we can locate their nests.

So, how do we let you know about all of this stuff? If you are a Digital Jersey, Hub, Xchange or Academy member, we will use Legitimate Interest to send you our newsletter and other cool stuff to let you know what is happening. We will always place an ‘Unsubscribe’ button on our digital communications.

If you have nothing to do with Digital Jersey but want to know what is going on with the digital revolution in Jersey, subscribe to our website and consent to send you this information. Again, use the Unsubscribe when you want this to stop.

You can also contact us or our DPM to withdraw consent anytime.

Some of our website pages will auto-direct to other websites like Award Force. This is a platform we use to receive nominations for our Digital TechAwards. When you register on this platform, they ask you for your preference for receiving notifications. These notifications are from us at Digital Jersey, not them.

Images and Video

During events organised by Digital Jersey or held at one of the Digital Jersey premises, we will, from time to time, take photographs or video the events, presentations, or training sessions to showcase them in our newsletter or to use as marketing materials for future events. Legitimate Interest is the legal basis for processing personal data in images or videos.

Where possible, an announcement will be made before each event, presentation, or training session informing the attendees of the photographs and/or video and a ‘safe area’ where their facial image will not be captured. Making these announcements at all events, presentations, or training sessions may not be possible.

 

How do we protect personal data?

We know how important it is to protect and manage your personal data. This section sets
out some of the measures we have in place.

  • We apply physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the
    collection, storage and disclosure of personal data.
  • We protect the security of your information while it is being transmitted by
    password-protected documents or encryption.
  • We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption to keep this data
    safe.
  • We only authorise access to employees and trusted partners who need it to carry
    out their responsibilities.
  • We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks.
  • We will ask for proof of identity before we share your personal data with you.

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a
destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by
companies operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our service providers. If
we do this, we ensure that your privacy rights are respected in line with this Policy.

How long do we use personal data for?

We will not keep your personal data longer than we need to. How long this depends on
several factors, including:

  • Why did we collect it.
  • Whether there is a legal/regulatory reason for us to keep it.
  • Whether we need to archive information for historical public interest.
  • Whether we need it to protect you or us.

You can ask us to provide you with the retention schedule relating to your own personal
data. We will provide this information in accordance with our policy and procedure for Data
Subject Access Requests.
