  • When you interact with us in person, through correspondence, by phone, by social media, or through our websites.
  • When we collect personal information from other legitimate sources, such as third-party data aggregators, Baylis marketing partners, public sources, or social networks. We only use this data if you have given your consent to these sources to share your personal data with others.
  • When there are situations of legitimate interest and this interest is not overridden by your privacy interests.

OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR COLLECTING PERSONAL DATA

Collecting personal data based on consents
The collection of personal data based on consent from the data subject will be done by using “Consent Forms” that will store documentation related to the consent given by the individual. Individual consents will always be stored and documented in our systems.

Collecting personal data based on contracts
We use personal information for fulfilling our obligations related to contracts and agreements with customers, partners, and suppliers.

Collecting personal data based on legitimate interest
We may use personal data if it is considered to be of legitimate interest, and if the privacy interests of the data subjects do not override this interest. Normally, to establish the legal basis for data collection, an assessment has been made during which a mutual interest between Baylis and the individual person has been identified. This legal basis is primarily related to our sales and marketing purposes. We will always inform individuals about their privacy rights and the purpose for collecting personal data. 


WHAT TYPE OF PERSONAL DATA IS COLLECTED?

We may collect your name, phone number, title and email address, in addition to your company’s name and contact information. We may also collect feedback, comments and questions received from you in service-related communication and activities, such as meetings, phone calls, documents, and emails. From our websites we may collect your IP-address and actions taken on the site.

If you upload photos or videos, add posts or comments, etc. on our European Union website, the information can be read by anyone with access to the site and used for purposes over which Baylis or you have no control. Therefore, Baylis is not responsible for any information you submit to the European Union website.

If you apply for a job at Baylis, we collect the data you provide during the application process.

Baylis does not collect or process any special categories of personal data, such as public unique identifiers or sensitive personal data. This includes, but is not limited to, race or ethnicity, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health, sexual life, and any actual or alleged criminal offences or penalties.  


HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We store personal data for as long as we find it necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the personal data was collected, while also considering our need to answer your queries or resolve possible problems, to comply with legal requirements under applicable laws, to attend to any legal claims/complaints, and for safeguarding purposes.

This means that we may retain your personal data for a reasonable period of time after your last interaction with us. When the personal data that we have collected is no longer required, we will delete it in a secure manner. We may process data for statistical purposes, but in such cases, data will be anonymized.

  • The right to request a copy of your personal data that Baylis holds about you.

  • If you want to withdraw your consent to e-marketing, please make use of the link to manage your subscriptions included in our communication. Please note that you may still receive system messages and administrative communications from Baylis, such as order confirmations, system messages and notifications about your account activities.
  • The right to request that Baylis provides you with your personal data and, if possible, to pass on this information directly (in a portable format) to another data controller when the processing is based on consent or contract.
  • The right to request a restriction on further data processing, in case there is a dispute in relation to the accuracy or processing of your personal data.
  • The right to object to the processing of personal data, in case data processing has been based on legitimate interest and/or direct marketing.
