We, Narrate PR, are committed to protecting and safeguarding your personal data and to meeting the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). During the course of our activities, we will collect, store and process personal data relating to clients, service providers, journalists and potential clients.

This privacy policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

Principles for Processing Personal Data
We comply with the eight enforceable principles of good practice for processing personal data. These provide that personal data must be:

  1. Processed fairly and lawfully.
  2. Processed for limited purposes and in an appropriate way.
  3. Adequate, relevant and not excessive for the purpose.
  4. Accurate.
  5. Not kept longer than necessary for the purpose.
  6. Processed in line with data subjects’ rights.
  7. Secure.
  8. Not transferred to people or organisations situated in countries without adequate protection.

All personal and sensitive personal data will be treated with equal care by Narrate PR.

2. Collecting and processing personal data

We collect and process personal data on an as needed basis. We do so only in the pursuit of and in accordance with the real and present legitimate interests of our business and taking into consideration the rights of the relevant data subjects.

For personal data to be processed lawfully, it must be processed based on one of the legal grounds set out in the new European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These include the data subject’s consent to the processing; that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject; for the compliance with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject; for the legitimate interest of the data controller or the party to whom the data is disclosed.

The information we collect and process includes:

  • Personal data relating to clients including contact information and other information that clients may provide to us. We use the information for the day-to-day business relationship and to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between us and our clients and to provide clients with the information and services that they request from us.
  • Personal data relating to journalists and other editorial and media contacts including name, media outlet, professional areas of interest, telephone numbers, other information relating to the profession of the data subject, and other information that journalists and other editorial and media contacts may provide. We use the information to contact journalists about media releases, event invitations and similar communications that we believe will be of interest to them in a professional capacity.
  • Personal data relating to suppliers including contact and financial information. We use the information to process payments, expenses and reimbursements and carry out our obligations under such contracts.

When a person contacts us via an email, phone, social media or online form, we collect and store that information. The information provided (name, organisation, email address, phone number etc.) will be processed and stored so that we can contact and respond to the sender. Data subjects have the right to request that we do not collect and process their personal data at any time in accordance with this policy.

3. Security

We hold personal data, which may be held on paper or on a computer or other media. Appropriate technical and physical security measures are used to ensure the security of any personal data stored on my systems (online and paper files) and to protect from unauthorised access, loss, manipulation, falsification, destruction or unauthorised disclosure.

4. Holding data

Personal data collected and stored by us is retained for no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. We recognise that personal data may not be retained indefinitely.

We will ensure that personal data we hold is accurate and kept up to date. We will check the accuracy of any personal data at the point of collection and at regular intervals afterwards. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or amend inaccurate or out-of-date data and to take steps to destroy, or erase from our systems, all data which is no longer required.

5. Sharing personal data

We do not share personal data with third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. Where data is shared with third parties, it is done so securely for administration and media relations purposes only and with the express consent of our clients. Through the course of our work, we share case studies with the media on behalf of our clients. This is done with the express permission of the people involved. Details are changed when anonymity is requested.

On occasion and where appropriate, we promote work with a range of clients through our online profiles. Permission is sought from clients at the start of each contract.
