The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) was the biggest shake-up of Data Protection and Privacy laws in the EU in decades. Now the CCPA in California, USA has come into force and both laws are forcing companies to change the way they process Personal Data. They are designed to ensure you have greater control over how your data is used in today’s technological world. Please take the time to read this statement to understand how we process personal data and why we process it. We may need to update this statement from time to time so do check back occasionally to stay up to date.

Some of the information we collect may be classified as “personal data” under European Union (EU) law as it is information relating to an individual (e.g. a sole trader, a partnership, a company director, a beneficial owner, a trustee, a professional contact etc.). This privacy notice provides the information we are required to give in relation to the processing of personal data under EU law.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) defines six lawful bases for the processing of Personal Data. Of these six we have concluded that the most appropriate lawful basis for processing personal data is our legitimate interests. This is because:
Owing to the nature of our business and the size of our database, it is impractical for us to contact every individual to obtain his/her consent.
The processing we do is unlikely to affect the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individuals whose data we collect and store and make available to our customers. We have concluded this because:
We only process information taken from the public domain that is specific to business (B2B) data (your work email for example), never personal (B2C) data (your personal email for example);
We provide Business Data to help our customers promote their offerings to other businesses;
It’s in the interest of individuals whose personal data we process for us to maintain healthy and accurate information so that businesses can better reach the most relevant business contacts – promoting the legitimate interests of the individual and our customers.
Should we rely on your consent in any circumstances to process your personal data you can easily withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at webmaster@b2b-ebooks.com. or by using any unsubscribe mechanism supplied (such as an unsubscribe link in an email).
