Supplier Privacy Notice

We ask that you read this privacy notice carefully as it contains important information on who we are, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information and on how to contact us and supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.

Who we are

Reliance High-Tech Limited is the UK’s leading independent security technology integrator and provider of lone worker safety services under the Reliance Protect brand. We have been working with leading public and private sector organisations to improve security for over 40 years.  Accredited to the highest industry standards and working in partnership with the leading security manufacturers and suppliers, we deliver innovative technology solutions to blue chip customers across a wide range of demanding security environments.

Through these activities, Reliance High-Tech Limited collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are regulated under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and we are responsible as ‘processor’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.

The personal information we collect and use

Information collected by us

In the course of procuring products and services from you we collect the following personal information when you provide it to us:

  • the names, job titles, email addresses, contact telephone numbers and postal addresses of persons with whom we are in contact within your organisation.

We may also collect personal information indirectly, such as your browsing activity while on our website (see “Cookies” below).

How we use your personal information

We use your personal information to:

  • process any transactions authorised or made by you with us, including the delivery of any products or services that we procure from you and any associated contract administration such as invoicing and payments; and
  • engage with you about the products and services that you offer which may be relevant to us.

Who we share your personal information with

From time to time, we may share the personal information that we collect from you with our customers.  This data sharing aids the delivery of products and services that we offer to our customers.

We will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by applicable law.

We will not share your personal information with any other third party.

How long your personal information will be kept

We will hold the personal information that we collect from you for such period as you are a supplier of ours.

When you cease to be a supplier of ours, we will then retain your personal information for such period of time that we consider your products and services to be of a legitimate interest to us. We may retain aggregated or anonymised data (which is not treated as personal information under this privacy notice) for longer.

Reasons we can collect and use your personal information

The UK General Data Protection Regulation sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data.   We rely on the following as the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal data:

  • to comply with our contractual obligations; and
  • to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. For example, to engage with you on potential solutions for our customers.

Keeping your personal information secure

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We secure access to all areas of our websites using ‘https’ technology.

We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we carry out penetration testing to identify ways to further strengthen security.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
