Marketing communications
Our lawful ground of processing your personal data to send you marketing communications is either your consent or our legitimate interests (namely to grow our business).

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for their marketing purposes.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you OR by emailing us at support@growthpathways.com at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving our marketing communications, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.

Change of purpose
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, 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 a purpose unrelated to the purpose for which we collected the data, we will notify you and we will explain the legal ground of processing.

We may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.


5. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may have to share your personal data with third parties set out below;

  • Service and platform providers who provide IT, CRM and system administration services.
  • Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
  • Government Bodies including the Comptroller of Income Tax in Jersey, Jersey Customs & Immigration Service, the Jersey Financial Services Commission and other regulators and authorities based in Jersey, Channel Islands and other relevant jurisdictions who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
  • Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you
  • Analytics and Search Engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site.
  • Advertisers and advertising networks that require the data to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others.
  • Third parties to whom we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets.
  • Subsidiary companies owned by us.
  • If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with an legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Website Terms and Conditions of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Pathways Global Limited, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisation for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.


6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Countries outside of Jersey and the EU do not always offer the same levels of protection to your personal data, so Jersey law has prohibited transfers of personal data outside of Jersey and the EU unless the transfer meets certain criteria.

Many of our third parties service providers are based outside Jersey and the EU so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside Jersey and the EU.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of Jersey and the EU, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is in place:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that the European Commission have approved as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data; or
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission or the Office of the Information Commissioner in Jersey which give personal data the same protection it has in Jersey and the EU; or
  • Where we use providers based in the United States (the “US”), we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.
    If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

7. DATA SECURITY
We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed or accessed without authorisation. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.


8. DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

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 requirements.

For tax purposes the law requires us to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers.

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

In some circumstances we may 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.


9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Under data protection laws you have rights in relation to your personal data that include the right to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, transfer, to object to processing, to portability of data and (where the lawful ground of processing is consent) to withdraw consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at support@growthpathways.com.
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 may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

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.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may 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.

If you are not happy with any aspect of how we collect and use your data, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Information Commissioner, the Jersey supervisory authority for data protection issues (https://oicjersey.org/guidance/) We should be grateful if you would contact us first if you do have a complaint so that we can try to resolve it for you.
