  Vincent Timber Limited Marketing and Sales Data
 
As an organisation that processes business related data, Vincent Timber Limited has assessed all six grounds for lawful processing of personal data and has selected 'Legitimate Interests' as the most suitable lawful ground for the processing of data for the purposes of Vincent Timber Limited marketing and sales.
 
Vincent Timber Limited collects, processes and stores data relating to businesses and decision makers. We believe that the individuals that we process the data of, are likely to have an interest in the Vincent Timber Limited product. Deemed as 'Legitimate Interest' this is based upon specific criteria including the business industry sector, size of organisation as well as the individual's job function within the organisation. Our typical segmentation includes those within marketing, sales, business development, MD and owner related job functions, although this list is not exhaustive and other variables may apply.
 
We will only ever collect, process and store the essential information required for making contact with the data subjects within a business environment. The personal data we collect is limited to first name, last name, email address, contact telephone numbers and social profiles. Other business related data may also be processed including business name, job function, turnover and business address, however we will never collect further personal data such as those classed under 'Sensitive Personal Data'.
 
The data collected will be used to communicate marketing and sales messages relating to Vincent Timber Limited products, based upon the job function held by the data subject. Vincent Timber Limited specifically only sends messages to those we believe are likely to be interested in Vincent Timber Limited products based upon the organisation they are employed by and based upon their job function within that organisation. Messages from Vincent Timber Limited could be delivered via email, social media, via telephone or any other business to business (B2B) marketing methods that may be relevant.

We will use the data you provide to process your request and may use it to inform you by email, telephone or mail about other Vincent Timber Limited products and services that we feel may be of interest to you, it is deemed that as you have visited the Vincent Timber Limited website and provided us with your contact information that you are legitimately interested in our products and services.
