Atom Logistics, which is part of UBT (EU) Limited (“UBT”) collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.

  • Contact us directly via our website, by email or by telephone to use our products or services;

We also obtain personal information from other sources as follows:

  • To notify you about changes to our service.
Who we share your personal information with

We routinely share the contact details of our customers and potential customers with our third party suppliers and affiliated UBT companies overseas. This data sharing enables them to supply you with the goods and services that you have ordered and/or to contact you about their goods and services that you might be interested in. We will only give your details to suppliers you have chosen and the information we have will be limited to the contact details you have provided in order that the supplier you have chosen can contact you about your order/enquiry. Our affiliated UBT companies and some of those third party recipients are based outside the European Economic Area — for further information including on how we safeguard your personal data when this occurs, see ‘Transfer of your information out of the EEA’.

We will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by applicable law.

We will not share your personal information with any other third party.

Whether information has to be provided by you, and if so why

The provision of your personal information e.g. name and contact details is required to enable us to provide you with the goods and services that you have ordered from us or that you are interested in receiving information about. We will inform you at the point of collecting information from you, whether you are required to provide the information to us.

How long your personal information will be kept
  • We will hold personal information about our customers for 6 years from when we last supply you with goods or services.
  • We will hold contact details about our previous customers or potential customers only for so long as we reasonably consider that the information about products and services that we might provide to you is relevant to and of interest to you and we will delete your contact details if you ask us not to continue to send such information to you or at any time if we have reason to think that the information is out of date, and in any case no later than 6 years after you last contacted us.
Reasons we can collect and use your personal information
  • If we supply goods and services to you we rely on the fact that it is necessary for us to have and to use your personal information for the performance of our contract with you as the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal data;
  • If you are a customer or a previous customer to whom we send information about goods and services provided by us or by others that we think is of interest to you, we rely on our legitimate business interests as the lawful basis on which we retain and use the personal data that you have given to us. Our legitimate interests are to keep you informed of those goods and services and other information about our business. This will be limited to information sent to the contact details that you have provided to us and with every communication you will be given a clear and straightforward option to opt out of further communications and to ask us to delete the personal information that we hold about you. We have considered the risk of harm to your privacy rights and to your data security and have concluded that the risk is minimal given (i) the type of data (your contact details) that we process for this purpose, (ii) the method, volume and content of the communications that we might send to you (emails, including daily offers (not every day but several a week) not more often than monthly, related to the goods and services that you have previously ordered from us or expressed an interest in), (iii) your right to opt out of further communications and to ask us to delete your information from our records at any time and (iv) the ability for you to select your preferences through the marketing preferences portal on our website.
  • Any contact by electronic communication will respect your e-privacy rights by being restricted to the use of e-contact details that you provided to us in the original supply process and limited to the same or similar goods and services.
Consequences of our use of your personal information

We do not believe that there are likely to be any serious consequences to you of our use of your personal information. The potential consequences that we have identified are:

  • Your data security:The risk of the personal information that we hold about you being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way.We have taken steps to protect against this (please see further information under the heading “Keeping your personal information secure” below).
  • Your privacy rights:You may, from time to time, receive communications from us or from our third party suppliers.However, we do not believe that the frequency, content or manner of these communications will risk any breach of your privacy rights and with every communication you will be given a clear and straightforward option to opt out of further communications and to ask us to delete the personal information that we and/or our third party suppliers hold about you.
Transfer of your information out of the EEA

We may transfer your personal information to the following which are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) as follows:

  • To our own centres of operation in Australia, Argentina, Caribbean, New Zealand, Canada and USA in order to process your order/s for goods and services or to send relevant communications covered by this Privacy Notice to you;
  • To our third party suppliers in Australia, Non-EU European countries, New Zealand, Canada and USA in order that they can process your order(s) for goods and services or to send relevant communications covered by this Privacy Notice to you.

Currently, the relevant recognised countries are Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay and the US (where the US Privacy Shield applies). Whilst the European Commission has not given a formal decision that other countries provide an adequate level of data protection similar to those which apply in the United Kingdom and EEA, any transfer of your personal information to such countries will be limited to transfers that are necessary for the performance or conclusion of our contract with you or at your request for the performance or conclusion of your contract with a third party or where we have assessed that the country or destination offers sufficient protection to the data protection rights that you have in the UK and having regard to:

  • the personal data being transferred;
  • where the personal data has originated from and where it is being sent to;
  • how the data will be used and how long it will be retained for; and
  • the security measures that will apply to the personal data in the country that it is being sent to.If you would like further information please contact our Data Protection Officer (see ‘How to contact us’ below).
