Data Compliance and Marketing Transparency
See the information below that explains how the email data we provide is processed in accordance with GDPR.
UK B2B Email Data
Which Lawful Basis?
We identify ‘Legitimate Interest’ as the most appropriate lawful basis for processing our third party B2B marketing data. Direct marketing is recognised as a legitimate interest in GDPR recital 47.
How was this explained on collection?
Our online business directory and preference centre, 5mins.co.uk captures, legitimises, verifies and updates the corporate data on our file. On collection it was/is explained to each individual what their personal information would be used for. The 5mins Site Subscriber Privacy Policy is accessible directly on this link: https://www.5mins.co.uk/SubscriberPrivacy.aspx.
Do we use a Layered Privacy Policy?
On collection of the data we use a layered privacy policy with the most important information upfront. This is designed to be transparent and clear with concise language.
How are individuals informed of what we do with their data and how they can refuse marketing?
We send a regular data privacy notice by email reminding individuals of what personal information we hold and what we do with their data. The email includes a link for them to update their personal information and preferences within the 5mins preference centre. At this point they are also reminded of their right to object to processing and provided with the opportunity to unsubscribe. This gives them control over their information.
What do you need to do?
If you purchase B2B email data you will need to do your due diligence on your suppliers. We can assist you with documentation that will help you gather the necessary information. With sales of our prospect B2B email lists we to provide our clients with a copy of our data due diligence documents before purchase. We can also help with running balancing tests that ensure you are correctly targeting the right contacts. We can advise on any other necessary processes such as sending a data privacy notice on immediate purchase of an email list. We aim to help our clients as much as possible so that they understand the process and implications of GDPR.
What do we need to do with our clients?
We clearly have a responsibility to comply with the new law ourselves. This includes the need to ensure that, when we share personal data with you, it will be in good hands. Therefore we have to do our own due diligence on our customers. You will notice that we are asking you more questions, for instance about your lawful basis and data processes.
