This privacy statement explains how we use information about you and how we protect your privacy. Your personal information will be processed, held and/or controlled in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.
We have a Data Protection Office which makes sure we respect your rights and follow the law. You may contact us at any time to:

Do you know what personal information is?
We may collect personal information about you including audio and video recordings. This can be anything that identifies and relates to a living person and can include information that when put together with other information can then identify the person. For example, this could be your name, contact details, e-mail address and/or telephone number.
Did you know that some of your personal information might be ‘special’?
Some information is ‘special’ and needs more protection due to its sensitivity. It’s often information you would not want widely known and is very personal to you, and is likely to include anything that can reveal your:
We may need to use some information about you to:
We reserve the right to transfer your data if Ixion Holdings is sold, goes into a merger, liquidation or receivership or transfers all, or substantially all, of its assets to a new owner. This will only take place if the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this privacy statement. We will let you know of any such transfer and you will be able to opt out if you wish.
Ixion Holdings processes personal data, both as a Data Controller and as a Data Processor, as defined by relevant Data Protection Legislation: the General Data Protection Regulations 2016/679, the Data Protection Act 2018, the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, the Telecommunications (Lawful Business Practice) (Interception of Communications) Regulations 2000 (SI 2000/2699), the Electronic Communications Data Protection Directive 2002/58/EC, the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and all applicable laws and regulations relating to processing of personal data and privacy, including where applicable the guidance and codes of practice issued by the Information Commissioner.
There are a number of legal reasons why we need to collect and use your personal information. Generally, we collect and use personal information where:
If we have consent to use your personal information, you have the right to remove it at any time. If you want to remove your consent please contact: sar@ixionholdings.com and tell us which service you’re using so we can deal with your request.
We’ll only collect and use personal information if we need it to deliver a service or meet a requirement.
If we don’t need personal information, we won’t ask you for it. For example, in a survey we may not need your contact details if we are only collecting your survey responses.
If we use your personal information for research and analysis, we’ll either always keep you anonymise or pseudonymise it unless you’ve agreed that your personal information can be used for that research.
We don’t sell your personal information to anyone else.
The law gives you a number of rights to control what personal information is used by us and how it is used by us.
1 – You can ask for access to the information we hold on you
We would normally expect to share with you what we record about you, whenever we assess your needs or provide you with services. However, you also have the right to ask for all the information we have about you and the services you receive from us. When we receive a request from you, we must give you access to everything we’ve recorded about you.
However, we can’t let you see any parts of your record which contains:
This applies to personal information in both paper and electronic records.
If you ask us for access to your information then we’ll ask you to provide evidence so that we can verify your identity.
If you have any queries about access to your information please contact: sar@ixionholdings.com.
2 – You can ask to change information you think is inaccurate
You should let us know if you disagree with something written on your file.
We may not always be able to change or remove that information but we’ll correct factual inaccuracies and may include your comments in the record to show that you disagree with it.
If you ask us to change the information we hold about you then we’ll ask you to provide evidence so that we can verify your identity.
The quickest way to inform us of any inaccuracies is to complete a form which we can provide to you or you can talk to a member of staff, contact: sar@ixionholdings.com.
3 – You can ask to delete information (the right to be forgotten)
In some circumstances you can ask for your personal information to be deleted, for example:
Where your personal information has been shared with others, we’ll do what we can to make sure those using your personal information comply with your request for erasure.
We can’t delete your information if:
4 – You can ask to limit what we use your personal data for
You have the right to ask us to restrict what we use your personal information for where:
When information is restricted it can’t be used other than to securely store the data with your consent or to handle legal claims and protect others, or where it’s for important public interests of the UK.
Where restriction of use has been granted, we’ll inform you before we carry on using your personal information.
You have the right to ask us to stop using your personal information for any service we provide. You also have the right to unsubscribe from any materials we may send you. However, if you make a request this may cause delays or prevent us delivering services to you.
Where possible we’ll seek to comply with your request, but we may need to hold or use information because we are required to by law or by contract.
If you wish to contact us with respect to these matters please contact the Data Protection Office on sar@ixionholdings.com.
5 – You can ask to have your information moved to another provider (data portability)
You have the right to ask for your personal information to be given back to you or another service provider of your choice in a commonly used format. This is called data portability. However, this only applies if we’re using your personal information with consent (and not if we’re required to by law).
You can ask to have any ‘computer-made’ decisions explained to you, or choose not to be the subject of a decision which is based on automated processing. You have the right to question decisions made about you by a computer, unless it’s required for any contract you have entered into, it’s required by law, or you’ve consented to it.
You also have the right to object if you are being ‘profiled’. Profiling is where decisions are made about you based on certain things in your personal information, e.g. your health conditions. If Ixion Holdings uses your personal information to profile you, to deliver the most appropriate service to you, you will be informed.
If you have concerns regarding automated decision-making, or profiling, please contact the Data Protection Office on sar@ixionholdings.com who’ll be able to advise you about how we are using your information.
We use a range of organisations to either store personal information or help deliver our services to you. Where we have these arrangements, there is always an agreement in in place to make sure that the organisation complies with data protection law. We’ll often complete a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) before we share personal information to make sure we protect your privacy and comply with the law.
Sometimes we have a legal duty to provide personal information to other organisations. This may be because we need to give that data to the courts.
We may also share your personal information when we feel there’s a good reason that’s more important than protecting your privacy. This doesn’t happen often, but we may share your information:
In any of these situations the risk must be serious before we can override your right to privacy.
If we’re worried about your physical safety, or feel we need to take action to protect you from being harmed in other ways, we’ll discuss this with you and, if possible, get your permission to tell others about your situation before doing so.
We may still share your information if we believe the risk to others is serious enough to do so.
There may also be rare occasions when the risk to others is so great that we need to share information straight away. If this is the case, we’ll make sure that we record what information we share and our reasons for doing so. We’ll let you know what we’ve done and why if we think it is safe to do so.
We’ll do what we can to make sure we hold records about you (on paper and electronically) in a secure way, and we’ll only make them available to those who have a right to see them. Examples of our security include:
The majority of personal information is stored on systems in the UK. However, there are some occasions where your information may leave the UK either in order to get to another organisation or if it’s stored in a system inside the EU.
We have additional protections on your information if it leaves the UK, ranging from secure ways of transferring data to ensuring we have a robust contract in place with that third party.
We’ll take all practical steps to make your personal information is not sent to a country that is not seen as ‘safe’ either by the UK or EU Governments.
We will retain your personal information only for as long as we need it in order to fulfil the purposes for which we have initially collected it, unless otherwise required by law or contractual requirements.
If you have any worries or questions about how your personal information is handled please contact our Data Protection Office using the details at the top of this page.
