1. Agreement and Waiver

The User's use of the 'Siderise Inspection' Mobile Application (the "Mobile App") confirms the User's agreement to these Terms and Conditions, and the User waives any right the User may otherwise have to rely on any contractual or implied term (whether by course of dealing, custom, or law) which is inconsistent with these Terms and Conditions.

2. Use of the Mobile App

The Mobile App is owned and operated by Siderise Insulation Ltd ("Siderise", "we", "us" or "our") and provides a simple, easy-to-use process for the User to provide Siderise with information regarding the installation of a Product. Siderise will review the information provided and provide the User with a Report.

The purpose of a Report is to provide the User with Siderise's independent opinion as to whether the installation of the Product appears to be consistent with the Guidance only, and is based solely on the information provided to Siderise by the User supplemented by such additional information as Siderise may elect to procure from the User. The User acknowledges and agrees that the User will provide Siderise with all information which Siderise requires to consider whether the installation of the Product appears to be consistent with the Guidance, and that Siderise is under no obligation to identify and request any information which has not, or may not have, been provided by the User.

A Report is not, and is not intended to be, a complete record of the installation of the Product and/or the Works and, without limitation, does not consider the acoustic, fire or thermal performance, design, fitness for purpose, specification and/or suitability of the Product and/or all or any part of the Works and/or whether the installation of the Product and/or the Works comply with any corresponding contract between the User and any third party and/or the Building Safety Laws, and in respect of which the User should seek independent advice.

The User acknowledges and accepts there are inherent limitations to reviewing the installation of the Product off-site and/or by sample and that Siderise will consider the installation of the Product subject to those limitations and with reasonable skill and care by reference to the Guidance current at the date of the Report only. Siderise has no obligation to inform the User if there is any change to the Guidance after the date of the Report.

If the Report identifies any part of the installation of the Product which may not appear to be consistent with the Guidance, Siderise may, to the extent possible when exercising reasonable skill and care, and subject to the limitations referred to above, provide information regarding any further works which the User may consider appropriate to carry out with the objective that the installation of the Product will be consistent with the Guidance.

Without limitation, Siderise does not guarantee, represent or warrant that the carrying out of any such further works will mean the installation of the Product is consistent with the Guidance.

Following the carrying out of any further works, the User agrees and undertakes to provide photographs of the installation of the Product and/or the Works for inspection by Siderise

'Endorsed' reports are electronically stamped and a new revision of the 'stamped' document is emailed to the User and/or any other stakeholder as agreed.

Any reports which are not 'endorsed' are returned to the User.

  • Installation Data: details of the installation and/or product(s) in relation to which you have submitted data to us, such as project name, project location, date and time of installation and any corresponding photographs or videos.

  • Device Data: includes the type of mobile device you use, any unique device identifier (such as your Device's IMEI number, the MAC address of the Device's wireless network interface, or the mobile phone number used by the Device), mobile network information, your mobile operating system, the type of mobile browser you use, and time zone setting.

We also collect, use and share aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific feature of the Mobile App. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you (such as your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data), and nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

How we collect your personal data

We use different methods to collect your personal data including:

  • Personal data you provide to us directly: you may give us your personal data by filling in forms on the Mobile App or by corresponding with us by email, telephone or otherwise, and including when you:
    • download the Mobile App
    • register to use the Mobile App
    • submit an inspection report via the Mobile App
    • report a problem with the Mobile App
  • Personal data collected through your use of the App: we automatically collect information when you use the Mobile App. We collect this data using cookies and other similar technologies. Please see our cookie policy for further details: https://www.siderise.com/cookies-policy.

  • Personal data we receive from other sources including third parties and publicly available sources: we may receive personal data about you from various third parties and public sources, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and search information providers.

Cookies

We use cookies and/or other similar tracking technologies to distinguish you from other users of the Mobile App and to remember your preferences. This helps us to improve your experience when using the Mobile App and also allows us to improve the Mobile App. For detailed information on the cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them and how you can exercise your choices regarding our use of your cookies, see our cookie policy: https://www.siderise.com/cookies-policy.

How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when we have a legal basis for doing so. Most commonly, we will rely on one of the following:

  • where we need to perform a contract we are about to enter or have entered with you;
  • where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests;

  • where we need to comply with a legal obligation; and
  • where you have consented before the processing.

We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the purposes for which we may use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

Please note that we may process your personal data for more than one legal basis depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your personal data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal basis we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one legal basis has been set out in the table below.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes described above, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with data protection law, where this is required or permitted by law.

Sharing your data with third parties

We may share your personal data with the third parties set out below for the purposes set out above:

  • IT service providers who provide system administration, user authentication, app/website hosting, cloud and other IT services;
  • web analytics and search engine providers who assist us in the improvement and optimisation of the Mobile App;
  • technical support service providers; and/or
  • professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services to us.

We may also share your personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, bankruptcy, receivership, or sale or transfer of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred to a successor or affiliate or other entity surviving out of the event. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Notice;

  • when it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • with regulators and other authorities, such as HM Revenue & Customs who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances; and/or

  • if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements and policies or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, our regulator, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and prevention of money laundering and credit risk reduction.

International transfers

We may transfer your personal data to some of our external third-party suppliers who are based in countries outside of the UK.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; and/or
  • where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

 

Security

Siderise takes personal data protection very seriously and we therefore take appropriate measures to protect your personal data against misuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure, and unauthorised alteration. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are legally required to do so.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access the Mobile App or certain parts of it, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

If you feel that your personal data are not adequately protected or there are indications of misuse, please contact us at [email protected]

Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you. Personal data no longer necessary or relevant for its identified purposes or no longer required to be retained by law, shall be securely destroyed, erased, or made anonymous.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. Please note that the retention period we use for your personal data may extend beyond your relationship with us.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see your legal rights below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection law in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to

    erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In

    some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

    • if you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
    • where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it;
    • where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims: or
    • you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at [email protected]

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

 

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Updates to this Privacy Notice and your duty to inform us of changes

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. When we update our Privacy Notice, we will take reasonable endeavours to inform you of the changes we make. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Notice for the latest information on our privacy practices.

To the extent we have local language versions, in case of conflicts between the different language versions, the English version of this Privacy Notice shall prevail.

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during our relationship with you.
