We will not collect any personal data from you that we do not need in order to provide and oversee our services to you.

What we do with it.

All the personal data we have is processed by our staff in the UK, however for the purposes of IT hosting and maintenance, this information is located on our servers and no other parties have access to your personal data unless the law allows them to do so. From time to time we may need to share your data with other third-party service providers such as:

• Email service providers such as Klayvio

Frequently asked questions

What personal data do you process?

Any data which relates to an identifiable person (Customer). Name, Age, address, phone number, email, etc.

For what purpose do you process this personal data?  

Data is collected for specific, legitimate and explicit purposes of providing skill, judgement or knowledge based competition services in order to allow our customers to enter competitions on our Website whilst ensuring their eligibility to do so.

What are the risks to data subjects’ rights and freedoms if the personal data is destroyed, lost, altered, disclosed without authority, or accessed without authority.

Following a full review of our policies/procedures and also a full review of GDPR guidelines, we believe the risks are minimal as the information we obtain is contained solely in our database. It is not shared with any outside third parties, except for email service providers, website analytic services, delivery/logistics services, competition draw services and social media website, all og which have their own complaint policies and procedures for processing personal data. In the event data is lost, altered or disclosed without authority etc. the customer could report us to ICO which could mean fines of up 4% of our turnover. There could also potential compensation claims that can be made by the data subject. Non-financial risks include reputational damage as the ICO will name non-compliant organisations which would effect our reputation in the industry with our customers. The risks are high in relation to penalties, but this the same for all UK companies and we believe the risks are low. The worst case scenario is that the ICO could stop us processing personal data.

What provisions do you have in place to either delete or return the personal data once the service comes to an end?

When a data subject requests this, we will contact the data subject, discuss the deletion or return of records, and then remove accordingly. Otherwise it is our intention to keep the customers details on our system for 12 months from the last time they either replied to an email, accessed our website/app or commented on our social media, as this coincides with our “legitimate business interests”.

What provisions/training do you have in place to ensure that your employees process the personal data in accordance with Watch Winner’s instructions?

We have provided ‘on the job’ training to our staff so that they understand GDPR and have also prepared a specific training session including a PowerPoint presentation which fully explains GDPR and the responsibilities of Watch Winner and its staff members. 

Do you understand the GDPR requirements in detail and are you satisfied that you are aware of the impact these will have on your business?

Yes, we are happy that we have a good understanding of GDPR requirements and the impact they have on our business.
