In most cases, the information the Company processes about you is required to deal with your request, or required by law, or is necessary for the exercise of the Company’s legitimate business interests and needs, in which case, special care is taken to safeguard your rights and to ensure any such use is proportionate.

Some of the personal information that the Company maintains will be kept in paper files, while other personal information will be included in computer files and electronic databases.

  • processing your data with your consent

  • processing your data when it is in our legitimate interests to do so and when these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.

Who the Company shares your personal data with:

Your personal information will be made available for the purposes mentioned above (or as otherwise notified to you from time to time), on a ‘need-to-know’ basis and only to:

  • sales,
  • manufacturing,
  • management,
  • accounting,

We may disclose specific information upon lawful request by government authorities, law enforcement and regulatory authorities, where required or permitted by law, and for tax or other purposes.

Personal information may also be released to third parties in response to legal process, and when required to comply with laws, or to enforce our agreements, and terms of use, or to protect the rights, our employees, customers, and others, as well as to parties to whom you authorise the Company to release your personal information.

Direct marketing by the company:

The Company may wish to provide you with information about new products, services, promotions and offers, which may be of interest to you and may invite you to take part in market research or request feedback on the Company’s products and services.

This communication may occur by e-mail, telephone or post. We will obtain your consent and advise you of how to opt-out of receiving such communications where we are required to do so in accordance with applicable law.

Safeguards for protecting your personal information:

The Company takes reasonable steps to employ appropriate physical, technical and administrative security measures to help prevent loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or modification of your personal information. While we take these reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information you disclose online. You accept the inherent security implications of dealing online and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security unless such breach has been caused by specific negligence.

In addition, you have the right to request further information about the handling of your personal information.

If you wish to do so, or to notify the Company of a change in your details, please contact enquire@forumpkg.com.

There are exceptions to these rights, for example, access to personal information may be denied in some circumstances if making the information available would reveal personal information about another person or if we are legally prevented from disclosing such information. In addition, we may be able to retain data even if you withdraw your consent, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your data.

If you have a question about the use of your personal information, or wish to file a complaint about it, please contact us, using the contact details set out above.

Finally, if you have unresolved concerns, you also have the right to complain to data protection authorities.
