Privacy Policy

Who we are

We are Agile Analog, a limited company (registered with number 10892818). Our registered address is Radio House, St Andrew's Rd, Chesterton, Cambridge CB4 1DL.

We have appointed a data protection officer who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy notice. If you have any questions about this privacy notice, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact our data protection officer by email.

How do you use my data?

When you phone us or use the contact form on our website for general queries, we may handle your personal information (your name, contact details and the other details you provide to us) in order to provide the customer services you have asked us to. This could be when you ask us to provide more information about the products and services we offer, or when you ask us for technical support. We rely on your consent to handle your personal information in this way. If you do not provide us with the personal information we request from you for customer services purposes, we may not be able to fully answer your queries.

When you apply for a job with us

We have a separate privacy policy for anyone submitting a job application to us on our website.  We use a third-party provider for managing all of our job roles and the privacy policy relating to this can be found here.

When you have signed up to our mailing list

This section applies if you have opted in to receive marketing communications from us, by entering your email address into the relevant section of our website, or have previously expressed an interest in our products and services and have not opted out.

We will handle your personal information (such as your name, email address and telephone number) to provide you with marketing communications in line with any preferences you have told us about.

When we send you marketing emails because you have opted-in to receive them, we rely on your consent to contact you for marketing purposes.  We may use a third-party provider, such as Mailchimp or Pipedrive, to store certain data, but please refer to the section below on ‘Where is my data stored?’

If you have not opted-in and we send you marketing emails, we do this because of our legitimate interest to promote the success of our business by engaging with potential customers.

Every email we send to you for marketing purposes will also contain instructions on how to unsubscribe from receiving them.

You are not under any obligation to provide us with your personal data for marketing purposes.

You can tell us that you do not want your personal information to be processed in this way at any time by contacting us or, where relevant, by following the unsubscribe link shown in every marketing communication you receive from us.
To make our site better:We may share your aggregated, anonymous data with third party analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site.

We will also use your personal information for the purposes of making our site more secure, and to administer our site and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes.

We process your data for this reason because we have a legitimate interest to provide you with the best experience we can, and to ensure that our site is kept secure.

You can prevent us from using your personal information in this way by using the 'do not track' functionality in your internet browser. If you enable do not track functionality, our site may be less tailored to your needs and preferences.

If our business is sold

We will transfer your personal information to a third party:

• If we sell or buy any business or assets, we will provide your personal information to the seller or buyer (but only to the extent we need to, and always in accordance with data protection legislation); or
• if we or the majority of our assets are acquired by somebody else, in which case the personal information held by us will be transferred to the buyer.

We process your personal information for this purpose because we have a legitimate interest to ensure our business can be continued by the buyer. If you object to our use of your personal information in this way, the relevant seller or buyer of our business may not be able to provide services to you.

In some circumstances we may also need to share your personal information if we are under a duty to disclose or share it to comply with a legal obligation.

Where is my data stored?

Many of our external third parties, particularly those we use to create our mailing list, are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal information will involve a transfer of data outside of the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal information outside of the EEA, we ensure it is protected by making sure at least one of the following safeguards is in place:

• by transferring your personal information to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission;
• by using specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give your personal information the same protection it has; or
• where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

To keep this privacy policy as short and easy to understand as possible, we have not set out the specific circumstances when each of these protection measures are used. You can contact us for the details as to how we protect specific transfer of your data.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or those of our third party data storage providers.

How long do we retain your data for?

• we are handling your personal information based on our legitimate interests (as described in the “How do you use my data” section above). If you ask us to stop handling your personal information in this way, we will stop unless we can show you that we have compelling grounds as to why our use of your personal information should continue; or
• for marketing purposes. If you ask us to stop handling your personal information on this basis, we will stop.
