Privacy Policy

Supplyant take our responsibility as a data controller very seriously. We want to make sure that your data is safe and secure as well as processed in the right way. We work with our Clients’ data in a specific way which is detailed in our separate agreements with them. This Privacy Statement details how we process your data when you come to our website to subscribe to our blog, download some content, or just ask for us to contact you.

How we collect your data

Our website has a few points at which it will ask you to enter your details. These are detailed below:

1. Blog Signup – so that you can get updates whenever we release a new blog post, we collect your name and email address.
2. Content Download – Supplyant produces various ebooks and whitepapers which in order to read, we ask for your details. We will collect your name and email address.
3. Contact Us Request – This is when you would like us to get in touch to talk about your needs related to our services. Here we collect your first & last names, company email address, company website, company telephone and we generally collect a message from you regarding your enquiry.
4. Contact Us Offline – for example by telephone, SMS, email, at a networking event/exhibition, or post.

We may also collect information from your devices (including mobile devices) and applications you or your users use to access any of our websites, applications, or services (for example, we may collect the device identification number and type, location information, and connection information such as statistics on your page views, traffic to and from the sites, referral URL, ad data, your IP address, your browsing history and your web log information); we will ask for your permission before we do so. We may do this using cookies.

How we store your data

We use a third party piece of software which allows us to manage all of our prospects’ data. The software also allows to automate marketing emails (where we have consent to do so). This piece of software is called SharpSpring – you can find more information about their service here [link to sharpspring.com].

SharpSpring as a platform is fully compliant with the latest data protection laws and gives us the ability to separate your data based on the specific consent you have given us – i.e. if you simply sign up to receive blog updates, you will not receive a call from a salesperson unless you take further action and request that action.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

How we use your data

SharpSpring allows us to take the data collected and match it; so for instance when we collect data about a visit to a page on our site through cookies, that data is anonymous, an IP address does not allow us to personally identify you. However, if you then fill in a contact form then SharpSpring matches your IP address with the data you have provided to show us all of the pages that you have viewed on our site. We have a legitimate interest in finding this information out as it allows our sales team to get an idea of what you are interested in through what content you have consumed. It also tells us the level of interest you may have for our services.

If you make a request to for us to get in touch with you, your data will also be entered into SharpSpring. Our sales team will contact you usually by phone but also by email to assess your needs and take you through our sales process. If at the end of the process, you decide not to become a Supplyant Client, we will ask for your consent to keep you up-to-date with news and content from Supplyant. This will be marketing material and you will be entered into what we call our “nurture programme”, where you will receive content and information based upon.

How we share your data

We do not share your information with any third parties, it is used purely for our own purposes. If you become a client of Supplyant then the following may apply:

• third parties where you have a relationship with that third party and you have consented to us sending information (for example social media sites or other third party application providers);
• law enforcement agencies so that they may detect or prevent crime or prosecute offenders;
• any third party in the context of actual or threatened legal proceedings, provided we can do so lawfully (for example in response to a court order);
• any third party in order to meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including statutory or regulatory reporting or the detection or prevention of unlawful acts.

We may share non-personally identifiable information about the use of our website, applications, products, or services publically or with third parties but this will not include information that can be used to identify you.
