Legal Basis for Processing Client, Supplier and Partner Personal Data
Digitopia processes personal data fairly and lawfully, the data that is processed is done transparently and with consent when applicable, this generally means that Digitopia will not process personal data without consent. In the event a lawful basis cannot be determined for data collection, the data should not be collected or processed.
How Digitopia collects client, supplier, and partner personal data:
- The data provided to Digitopia by clients, suppliers and partners – Digitopia will collect this data in a number of ways for example contact through the website, post, telephone, email and any other means.
- The data is collected automatically – this can be done when Digitopia engages with clients via electronic means.
- For the purposes of marketing, Digitopia also buys contact details. The personal data obtained is under lawful basis as it is in the interest of third parties to know about Digitopia’s product offerings and services.
How We Use Client, Supplier and Partner Personal Data
Digitopia may use client, supplier and partner personal data to:
- Develop and manage our relationship with potential and existing clients, suppliers and partners.

Digitopia may also use client, supplier and partner personal data for other uses consistent with the context in which the information was collected or with your consent.
Digitopia may anonymize or aggregate any of the information we collect and use it for any purpose, including for research and product development purposes. Such information will not individually identify any of our clients, suppliers or partners.
Sharing and Transferring Personal Data
Digitopia will only disclose information about its clients, suppliers and partners to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so or where we need to comply with our contractual agreements to our clients. Where we have the requirement to use an intermediary, Digitopia will ensure that they are fully compliant with GDPR (or equivalent based on jurisdiction) before engaging with them.
Digitopia may also share any personal data with third parties or service providers that we use or hire to support our business. These third parties are required to use the personal data we share with them only to perform services on our behalf and to treat client, supplier and partner personal data in compliance with all applicable privacy and data protection laws.
The information Digitopia has on its clients, suppliers and partners will not be kept longer than it is needed and Digitopia will take all reasonable steps to delete information when it is no longer required.
Data Retention
Digitopia will store client, supplier and partner personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as explained in this notice. In some circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or necessary technical requirements.
In specific circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your personal information or dealings.
