This Policy applies to the personal data we process as part of our business. Whilst our group of companies process personal data in accordance with this Policy, it doesn’t apply to any other companies or organisations we work with and you are therefore encouraged to check their privacy policies as they may apply to you.
We understand that the privacy and security of your personal information is extremely important. Therefore, this Privacy Policy (“the Policy”) explains how we use any personal data we collect about you, including via our website fundamentalgroup.com (and any other websites operated by our group of companies) (the “Website”), together with what we do to keep it secure. This Privacy Policy also includes an overview of the services we provide to our clients, where we process personal data on their behalf as their data processor. All personal data collected about you will be processed by us in accordance with this Policy and the applicable data protection legislation as is in force from time to time. “Personal data” (or “personal information” as the terms may be used interchangeably in this Policy) means information that identifies you as an individual or is capable of doing so.
Local data protection laws apply to our collection and use of personal data but include the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Californian Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) (in each case the “Applicable Data Laws”). The terms used throughout this Privacy Policy are taken from the UK Data Protection Act and GDPR. However, where local laws apply and use terms with a similar meaning, the terms used in this Policy shall, where the context so dictates, be substituted with those terms. For example, in relation to the CCPA, the terms “personal data” shall be read as “personally identifiable information”, the term “data controller” shall be read as “business” and “data processor” shall be read as “service provider”.
Additional privacy information applies to certain services we provide (e.g. Fundamental Monitor, CPD Hub and Alphix). This information is provided in the form of specific Privacy Notices, which you are invited to read when registering or subscribing for these services. This Privacy Policy does not cover our processing in connection with our recruitment, please see our separate Careers Privacy Notice for further information.
We may need to make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time as Applicable Data Laws evolve or due to changes in our business and technology. This Policy was last updated on 04th March 2022.
