Whenever you provide personal information, we are legally obliged to use it in line with all applicable laws concerning its protection, including data privacy and security legislation. The Mazterpiece website contains hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third party websites have their own privacy policies and are also likely to use cookies so we urge you to review their policies separately. They will govern the use of personal information you submit when visiting those websites, which may also be collected by cookies. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of those third party websites and your use of them is at your own risk.

Who are we?

Mazterpiece Ltd is a New York based PR and communications agency offering a fully integrated service to our clients so they can deliver the most appropriate marketing information or other relevant communications to their end users.

What information will Mazterpiece collect about me?

When you participate in, access or sign up to any of Mazterpiece’s services, activities or online content we may receive personal information about you. This can consist of information such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone or mobile number, gender or date of birth.

How will Mazterpiece use the information it collects about me?

Mazterpiece will use your personal information for a number of purposes including:

to provide our services, activities or online content, to provide you with information about them and to deal with your requests and enquiries;
to analyse the information you supply as well as your activity on our (and other) services so that we can offer a more relevant, tailored service where we provide personalised services;
to use IP addresses and device identifiers so we can identify the location of users, block disruptive use, establish the number of visits from different countries and determine whether or not you are accessing the services from the US;
for analysis and research purposes so that we can improve the services offered by Mazterpiece. This can include using geo-demographic information from external sources where this helps us;
we may also use and disclose information in aggregate (so that no individuals are identified) for marketing and strategic development purposes.

Where Mazterpiece proposes using your personal information for any other use we will ensure that we notify you first. Please see section 18 for details.

Your Mazterpiece Contact Request

If you fill out one of our on-line contact forms your details will be added to our CRM system so we can effectively manage your enquiry. You will be contacted regarding your enquiry using the information you submit on the form.

If you choose you will be added as a subscriber to our newsletter emails. You can unsubscribe from these at any point using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of those emails.

When will Mazterpiece contact me?

Mazterpiece may contact you:

in relation to any correspondence we receive from you or any comment or complaint you make about Mazterpiece products or services;
in relation to any services you are using;
to update you on any material changes to Mazterpiece’s policies and practices;
and for marketing purposes, as set out in section 7.

Will I be contacted for marketing purposes?

Mazterpiece will only send you marketing communications where you have agreed to this. We offer occasional emails, to let you know about Mazterpiece initiatives and services. We may personalise the message content based on any information you have provided to us and on your use of Mazterpiece platforms.

We may use information we hold about you to show you relevant advertising on third party sites (e.g. Facebook, Google, Instagram ).

Will Mazterpiece share my personal information with anyone else?

We will keep your information within Mazterpiece except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies, including for child protection reasons) or as described in this section and section 9.

We may share your information across Mazterpiece and, where this is necessary to provide you with a service you have requested, other partner agencies.

We will use your information within Mazterpiece and will only share it outside the agency where you have requested it or given your consent. However, we may share with third party sites (e.g. Facebook, Google, MailChimp, credit reference suppliers, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter) some data, with appropriate security measures, to show you relevant advertising on third party sites, as set out in section 7

Sometimes Mazterpiece uses third parties to process your information on our behalf for example to provide services or analysis. Mazterpiece requires these third parties to comply strictly with our instructions and Mazterpiece requires that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes, unless you have explicitly consented to the use of your personal information in that way.

Offensive or inappropriate content on Mazterpiece websites

If you post or send content which we consider offensive, inappropriate or objectionable anywhere on or to Mazterpiece websites or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour Mazterpiece may remove that content and/or block access.

Where Mazterpiece considers that you may be in breach of any applicable laws, for example on hate speech, Mazterpiece may disclose your personal information to relevant third parties, including to law enforcement agencies or your internet provider. Mazterpiece would only do so in circumstances where such disclosure is permitted under applicable laws, including data protection regulations.

What if I am a user aged under 18?

If you are aged 18 or under, please get your parent/guardian’s permission before you provide any personal information to Mazterpiece.

How long will Mazterpiece keep my information?

We will hold your personal information for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with Mazterpiece.

Can I find out what personal information Mazterpiece holds about me?

Under the data protection regulations you have the right to request a copy of the personal information Mazterpiece holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. We will use reasonable efforts consistent with our legal duty to supply, correct or delete personal information about you in our files.

If we feel we need to establish your identity, we may ask for proof of such before providing any personal data.

Privacy Notice
What is the purpose of this document?

Mazterpiece is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information.

This privacy notice describes how we collect and use personal information about you during and after your working relationship with us, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

It applies to all employees, workers and contractors.

Mazterpiece is a “data controller”. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you. We are required under data protection legislation to notify you of the information contained in this privacy notice.

This notice applies to current and former employees, workers and contractors. This notice does not form part of any contract of employment or other contract to provide services. We may update this notice at any time.

It is important that you read this notice, together with any other privacy notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information.

The kind of information we hold about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

There are “special categories” of more sensitive personal data which require a higher level of protection.

We will collect, store, and use the following categories of personal information about you:

Personal contact details such as name, title, addresses, telephone numbers, and personal email addresses; date of birth; gender; marital status and dependants; next of kin and emergency contact information; national Insurance number; bank account details, payroll records and tax status information; current salary and history, annual leave, pension and benefits information; start date; location of employment or workplace; copy of driving licence; recruitment information (including copies of right to work documentation, references and other information included in a CV or cover letter or as part of the application process); employment records (including job titles, work history, working hours, training records and professional memberships); performance, disciplinary and grievance information; CCTV footage and office entry system information; photographs.

We may also collect, store and use the following “special categories” of more sensitive personal information:

Information about your race or ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation and political opinions; information about your health, including any medical condition, health and sickness records.

How is your personal information collected?

We collect personal information about employees, workers and contactors through the application and recruitment process, either directly from candidates or sometimes from an employment agency or background check provider. We may sometimes collect additional information from third parties including former employers.

We will collect additional personal information in the course of job-related activities throughout the period of you working for us.

How we will use information about you

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

Where we need to perform the contract we have entered into with you.
Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

We may also use your personal information in the following situations, which are likely to be rare:

Where we need to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests).
Where it is needed in the public interest.

Situations in which we will use your personal information

We need all the categories of information in the list above primarily to allow us to perform our contract with you and to enable us to comply with legal obligations. In some cases, we may use your personal information to pursue legitimate interests of our own or those of third parties, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. The situations in which we will process your personal information are listed below.

Making a decision about your recruitment or appointment; determining the terms on which you work for us; checking you are legally entitled to work in the US; paying you and, if you are an employee, deducting tax; providing benefits to you; administering the contract we have entered into with you; business management and planning, including accounting and auditing; conducting performance reviews, managing performance or capability and determining performance requirements; making decisions about salary reviews and compensation; gathering evidence for possible grievance or disciplinary hearings; making decisions about your continued employment or engagement; education, training and development requirements; dealing with legal disputes involving you, or other employees, workers and contractors, including accidents at work; managing sickness absence; complying with health and safety obligations; to prevent fraud; to monitor your use of our information and communication systems to ensure compliance with our IT policies; to conduct data analytics studies to review and better understand employee retention and attrition rates; equal opportunities monitoring.

If you fail to provide personal information

If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have entered into with you (such as paying you or providing a benefit), or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations (such as to ensure the health and safety of our workers).

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Do we need your consent?

We do not need your consent if we use special categories of your personal information in accordance with our written policy to carry out our legal obligations or exercise specific rights in the field of employment law. In limited circumstances, we may approach you for your written consent to allow us to process certain particularly sensitive data. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the information that we would like and the reason we need it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent. You should be aware that it is not a condition of your contract with us that you agree to any request for consent from us.

Automated decision-making

You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have notified you.

Data sharing

We may have to share your data with third parties, including third-party service providers and other entities in the group.

We require third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

We may transfer your personal information outside the EU. If we do, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal information.

Data security

We have put in place measures to protect the security of your information. Details of these measures are available upon request.

Third parties will only process your personal information on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. Once you are no longer an employee, worker or contractor of the company we will retain and securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Your duty to inform us of changes

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your working relationship with us.

Your rights in connection with personal information

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
Right to withdraw consent

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact your local data privacy representative. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

Changes to this privacy notice

We reserve the right to update this privacy notice at any time, and we will provide you with a new privacy notice when we make any substantial updates. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal information.
