Our Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us, and this privacy policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Playcubed Ltd complies with its obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by:

  • keeping the data it holds up to date,
  • storing and destroying it securely,
  • not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data,
  • protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure, and
  • ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

The reason we collect and process information:

We process personal information to enable us to promote our goods and services, to maintain our accounts and records, and to support and manage our staff.

If you are a customer (or potential customer), information about you helps us to:

  • provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you,
  • carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us

The data we collect:

We process information relevant to the above reasons/purposes. This may include:

  • personal details such as name, work email address, mobile phone number, landline phone number, job title,
  • employment details such as name, work email address, mobile phone number, landline phone number, job title,
  • goods or services provided (by us to you, or by you to us).

We may collect certain information or data about you in the course of business, such as when you visit our website(s), contact us directly, or engage with our email bulletins (for example, tracking whether you open these emails and what links you may click on). Such data could include your name, address, telephone number, email address and social media identifiers.

If you telephone us, your call will not be recorded, but may be monitored by Playcubed Ltd personnel for the purposes of training to ensure that the highest possible quality of service is provided.

Your information can be viewed by authorised people within Playcubed Ltd and relevant trustworthy external agencies supporting normal business operation, and may be used to:

Playcubed Ltd is dedicated to improving the welfare of people in all age-groups by enhancing their learning and working environments: providing health benefits through play for schoolchildren, and welfare benefits for adults at work with living greenery indoors and well-managed amenity areas outdoors.

Our lawful basis for collecting and processing your information is that it is of legitimate interest:

1) To provide you with information that could help to promote safe play areas, encourage health benefits through play, and enhance staff welfare conditions in and around the workplace.

2) To provide you with information that will help to protect the outdoor environment through sensitive management, ensuring environmental laws and regulations are respected.

3) To help us to grow our business.

The above interests were identified as a result of a Legitimate Interests Assessment that we have conducted. If a conflict arises between our legitimate interests and your own rights under data protection laws and regulations, your rights and interests will prevail.

Where your information is stored:

We store your information on secure servers within the UK (and so within the European Economic Area or EEA). The email platform we use, Mailchimp, is based outside the EEA and their servers hold your information in the United States. Mailchimp participates in, and has certified its compliance with, the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.

Keeping your information secure:

We have procedures and security features in place to keep your information secure once we receive it. For example:

  • All log in users to our server are password protected and passwords have to be changed by default every 90 days,
  • All employees and anyone accessing data have to sign a confidentiality agreement,
  • Employee records can only be accessed by directors and approved senior HR personnel within the company,
  • Users have varying degrees of access depending on their position within the company.
