Privacy Policy

At Capium Limited we take the issue of your Privacy very seriously. Which is why we work hard to ensure we have policies and procedures in place to not only help your business, but to do so in a way which is respectful to your rights. The following privacy policy explains what personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, how we process it and what we do to keep it safe.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a new regulation which replaces the Data Protection Regulation (Directive 95/46/EC) The Regulation aims to harmonise data protection legislation across EU member states, enhancing privacy rights for individuals and providing a strict framework within which commercial organisations can legally operate.

Even though the UK has expressed its intention to leave the EU in March 2019, the GDPR will be applicable in the UK from 25th May 2018. The Government intends for the GDPR to continue in UK law post Brexit and has also introduced a Data Protection Bill to replace the current Data Protection Act in due course.

Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

For the purposes of data protection legislation, the data controller is Capium Limited of 3rd Floor 86-90 Paul Street, London, England, EC2A 4NE.

Our DPO is Michael Blakeley, who is a qualified DPO and can be contacted on Michael.blakeley@capium.com
