Introduction

Drylock finds the protection of personal data primordial.

This policy applies where Drylock or any of its affiliates, being a company which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Drylock (“Affiliates”) processes personal data and determines purposes and means with respect to such processing of its customers, employees and suppliers. Whenever this data protection policy refers to Drylock, it is deemed to refer to Drylock and its Affiliates. Whenever this data protection policy refers to “You” or “Your”, such reference should be read as meaning customers, suppliers, employees or applicants, as the case may be.

Drylock may amend this policy from time to time by publishing a new version on its website. Drylock will notify you of significant amendments to this policy by email, if available.

Customers and suppliers

Drylock processes personal data relating to the use of its website and services (including cookies – see for more info on its cookie policy (“usage data“). Such data may include your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit and page views. Usage data may be processed for the purposes of analysing the use of the website and services. The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest of Drylock to maintain and improve its website.

Drylock processes personal data relating to contact details (“contact data“). Such data includes your name, surname, gender, phone number, e-mail-address, and, if you are an independent customer or supplier (not acting on behalf of a company), your address. The data is provided by you or your employer (while creating an account or directly through e-mail or any other means of contact). The contact data is processed with the aim to provide its (customer and supplier) services properly, record-keeping, maintaining back-ups of its databases and (specifically but not limited to the context of processing gender data) communicating with you. The legal basis for this processing is consent.

Drylock processes personal data that is provided in the course of its customer or supplier relationship (“relationship data”). Such data may include your name, your employer, your job title or role, your contact data (as mentioned above), and information contained in communications (such as requests, questions or demands regarding its goods and services) between Drylock and you or your employer, being a customer or supplier of Drylock. The relationship data is processed with the aim to provide its (customer and supplier) services properly and for the purposes of communicating with you and record-keeping. The legal basis is the performance of a contract between you or your employer being a customer or supplier of Drylock and Drylock or its Affiliates and/or taking steps, at your or your employers’ request, to enter into such a contract.

Drylock processes personal data relating to transactions, (e.g. the purchase of Drylock goods and/or Drylock purchase of your goods or services) (“transaction data“), and may include your contact details, your card details and the transaction details. Such transaction data is received from you or your payment service provider. The transaction data may be processed for the purpose of supplying the purchased goods and services or purchasing a requested good or service and keeping proper records of those transactions. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract between you or your employer, being a customer or supplier of Drylock, and Drylock, as well as any steps taken, at your or your employers’ request, to enter into such a contract.

Drylock processes personal data that you provide to it for the purpose of subscribing to Drylock email notifications and/or newsletters (“notification data“). The notification data may be processed for the purposes of sending you the relevant notifications and/or newsletters. The legal basis for this processing is consent.

Drylock may process any of your personal data identified in this policy where necessary for the preparation, establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, whether or not such claim is formulated in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure. The legal basis for this processing is Drylock’s legitimate interests, namely the protection and assertion of its legal rights, your legal rights and the legal rights of others.

Applicant data

Drylock values every application for vacancies and undertakes to treat each application with care and in accordance with the principle of confidentiality.

Drylock processes from its applicants personal data provided by them relating to the application process (“applicant data”). Such data may include name, surname, address, e-mail address, qualifications and age and any other information spontaneously communicated by the applicant. Such information is processed for management of the recruitment process, applicant management, record-keeping and contacting the applicant. For the applicant who is selected to become an employee of Drylock, the legal basis for this processing is that it is a step taken prior to entering into a contract on the applicant’s request. Applicant data, processed from applicants who are not selected in the recruitment process, will be processed on the basis of its legitimate interests to maintain an applicants database.

Transfer of personal data to others

Drylock may disclose your personal data to any affiliate, insofar as this disclosure would be reasonably necessary for the purposes, and on the legal bases, set out in this policy.

Drylock may disclose your personal data to its insurers and attorneys-at-law if that is necessary for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining insurance coverage, managing risks, obtaining legal advice, or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.

Drylock may disclose contact data and transaction data to its suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the performance of the customer or supplier relationship.

In general, Drylock may disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Drylock is subject.

  You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data under various circumstances. This means that Drylock will stop processing your personal data in certain situations, namely
  1. when you contest the accuracy of the personal data;

  3. whenever you would need the personal data for the establishment or preparation of a judicial claim; and

• the right to object to processing, if the processing is based on its legitimate interests;
  Whenever Drylock processes your personal data on the basis of its legitimate interests, you are granted the right under applicable data protection law to object to such processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.

• the right to withdraw consent, if your personal data is being processed on the basis of consent.
