Our sites are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

It is important that you read this privacy policy carefully together with any other fair processing notice or privacy policies we may provide on occasions when we collect or process personal data about you, so you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data.

3. The Data That We Collect About You

Personal data means any information about a person from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

When you access our sites, we may collect, or you may provide us with, personal data. We may collect, use, store and transfer different types of personal data about you, which we have grouped together as follows:

Identity data including your first name, last name, title, your organization and job role, or other identifiers;
Contact data including your residential address, email address, and telephone numbers;
Technical data including your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other details about the devices you use to access our sites;

Marketing and communications data including your preferences in receiving marketing materials and updates from us and third parties and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use, and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered to be personal data in law as it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing specific features. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, the combined data is personal data and we deal with it in accordance with this privacy notice.

We do not knowingly collect details about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health, sex life, sexual orientation, or genetic or biometric data (known as “special categories of data”), or any information about criminal convictions or offenses through our sites.

Please see below for more information about cookies.

- technical data from analytics providers such as Google Analytics and Pardot and advertising networks such as Google Ads and Remarketing, Facebook Pixel, the Twitter Conversion Tracker, and the LinkedIn Insight Tag;
- contact information about you from business partners, events, conferences, or industry tradeshows; and
- other individuals under our “refer a client” form.

5. How We Use Your Personal Data

if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation, we may share your personal data with a regulator or law enforcement agency;

7. For EU/UK Data Subjects, International Transfers, and Privacy Shield

Many of the third parties with whom we will work are based outside both the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU), so their processing of personal data may involve a transfer of this data outside both the UK and the EU. When we use cloud-based platforms to store personal data, this may involve the use of geographically distributed data centers including data centers outside both the UK and the EU. If we transfer your information to third-party companies (e.g. analytics or web hosting vendors), we will ensure they maintain the same level of security as us. You have the right to request copies of the transfer mechanisms that apply to your personal data by contacting us using the details above. We will not transfer your personal data outside the EU or UK, except:

to a country which has been found by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection, which can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en;
to an entity in the United States which is part of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. For further information see: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/eu-us-privacy-shield_en;
to a company that has agreed to follow the same rules when processing your personal data;
where your personal data benefits from the same contractual protections as it would in the EU or the UK;
where the transfer is necessary to perform a contract between us; or
with your explicit consent.

Such transfer of your data will always be subject to our physical, technical, and organizational measures detailed in paragraph 10.

You have the ability to limit the transfer of and/or delete your personal information. If you would like to request the deletion of your personally identifiable information or request that it be returned to you, please contact us at [email protected].

In cases of onward transfer to third parties of data of EU or UK individuals received pursuant to the EU-US Privacy Shield, Alcohol Monitoring Systems remains liable.

We are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and is committed to and complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union to the United States. We have certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Framework Principles.

If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy notice and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

Raise a Privacy Shield Complaint with PrivacyTrust

If you do not receive a timely acknowledgment of any complaint you raise, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, you can also submit your complaint to PrivacyTrust, an independent third party. Visit https://www.privacytrust.com/drs/alcoholmonitoringsystems to file a complaint. Finally, as a last resort and in limited situations, EU individuals may seek redress from the Privacy Shield panel, a binding arbitration mechanism.
