We will only use your Personal Data where permitted by law. The law on data protection sets out several different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:
Consent : In specific situations, we collect and process your data with your consent. We collect your consent when applicable laws require it (including but not limited to the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 & The UK General Data Protection Regulation).
Performance of a Contract: In certain circumstances, we need your personal data for the performance of a contract to which you are a party.

Legitimate Interest: This is when we have an interest in conducting and managing our business, to enable us to give you the best experience when using the app, products, and services. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests.

6. Who we share your information with
We require all parties who process your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your Personal Data for their own purpose and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Internal Parties
Employees of Submission Technology will process your data when you need to speak to the customer service team or our Data Protection Officer. Access to your Personal Data will be controlled and only granted where necessary to provide our services to you and/or allow us to perform any necessary or legitimate functions.
External Parties
Parties we do not transfer your data to
Our App contains affiliate links to third-party websites. You will click on these to access offers and earn cashback. Please note, if you follow a link to any such website, we do not accept any liability or responsibility, because these websites have their own Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies.
We do not transfer your data to these third-parties but to improve your user experience, when you click on a third-party offer and are transferred to the third-party website, we may pre-populate the third-party form with your Personal Data. It is your choice to submit this data to the third-party, we will never do this for you.
Where in the world your data is transferred
Submission Technology is headquartered in the UK. The information that you provide or that we collect as a result of your interaction with the App and/or the user of the Services will only be transferred to parties located within the EU that have been recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. In rare circumstances, when transfers need to take place to countries outside of this consideration, we have put in place measures, including ensuring the recipient is bound by UK Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your Personal Data.
7. How long your data is stored
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.
Typically, we retain your data for all the time you have an account with us, plus 12 months.
In some circumstances, we may anonymise your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. Once you no longer have a relationship with us, we will retain and securely destroy your Personal Data subject to the foregoing and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.
8. Your rights
How to make a request
If you would like to exercise any of the data subject rights, please send an email to dpo@submissiontechnology.co.uk. We will respond to your request without undue delay and no later than one month.
You will not usually be required to pay a fee to exercise your rights unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
We may need to confirm your identity before fulfilling your request and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or exercise 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.
If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are processing your personal data not in accordance with the law you can make a complaint to the UK Supervisory Authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Submission Technology is committed to protecting the security of your personal data. We protect your data with security measures under the laws that apply and we meet international standards. We use a variety of technologies to help protect your personal data from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure.

In the event of a data breach that affects your data, we will notify you when legally required to do so.

The safety and security of your Personal Data also depend on you.

We ask you not to share your login or account credentials with anyone and keep your account information secure.
