Privacy Policy

Last updated February 2021

At ThirdWay Partners we are committed to protecting the privacy and processing of your personal information. In this policy, we set out how we collect and use your personally identifiable information and personal data, including information that you provide to us. When we refer to ‘we’ (or ‘our ’or ‘us’) that means ThirdWay Partners LLP and all its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our registered address is in the UK but we operate and have offices all over the world. For UK data protection purposes, when we act as a controller in relation to your personal data, ThirdWay Impact Advisors LTD, is our representative in the UK.

What is personal data?

Personal information is personal data as defined by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 as “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person”.

When we say ‘personal data’ we mean identifiable information about you, like your name, email, address, blog comments and so on. If you can’t be identified (for example, when personal data has been aggregated and anonymised) then this notice doesn’t apply. Check out our terms & conditions for more information on how we treat your other data.

What does this policy apply to?

This privacy policy only applies to personal information collected by ThirdWay Partners through the website where this policy is posted and does not apply to any other information collected by ThirdWay Partners through other means. If you have other agreements with ThirdWay Partners regarding ThirdWay Partners products and services, then the privacy policy of those agreements prevail.

What information do we collect about you?

Personal information is collected by ThirdWay Partners on our website, for example, when you sign up for our newsletter or fill in our contact form, giving us consent to use your data. Personal information collected by ThirdWay Partners is often limited to your name and email address, but we may include other information when needed to provide a service you have requested. We use a third-party provider, Mailchimp (owned and operated by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, a US limited liability corporation), to store your information and send our e-newsletters. We gather statistics around email opening rates and clicks using industry standard technologies. For more information, please see Mailchimp’s privacy policy.

We may also automatically collect and store certain anonymised information such as statistics about your activities on our website. We use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. That information may include your IP address, your operating system, your browser ID, your browsing activity, and other information about how you interact with our website. This information is only processed anonymously. We do not make any attempts to find out the identities of visitors to our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We may also have access to technical data collected through cookies, pixel tags and other similar technologies that uniquely identify your browser. For further information on cookies, please our Cookies policy below.

How will we use the information about you?

We may use the personal information we collect from you to:

Send you our e-newsletter. We collect information about you to send you our e-newsletter, storing your data until your request us to delete it. Consent will be obtained when you submit your data to us through the sign-up or updating your profile forms

ThirdWay Partners will not use personal information in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which it has been collected or subsequently authorised by you.

Who might we share your information with?

ThirdWay Partners will only share personal information to the extent needed to perform the uses listed above and will take steps to safeguard personal information. For example, our vendors and partners are required to keep such personal information confidential and not to use it other than for the purposes intended. ThirdWay Partners does not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

We may on occasion be required to share your information with the following categories of recipients (a) ThirdWay Partners’ group of companies for data processing activities;(b) service providers (partners/third parties) to enable the performance of our activities by adopting appropriate legal measures; (c) regulators, law enforcement bodies, government agencies, courts or other third parties where we think it’s necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulations.

How do we keep your data safe?

We will employ reasonable precautions to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Such measures may include the use of restricting access to personal information to those with a legitimate interest in receiving the information.

Employees who have access to personal information receive privacy training and are advised that they are responsible for fully complying with the privacy principles in this policy and instructed that violations of these principles shall result in appropriate discipline up to and including termination.

International data transfers

When we share data, it may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country you live in – such as to the United States, where our e-newsletter provider is located.

For individuals in the UK, this means that your data may be transferred outside of the UK. Where your personal data is transferred outside the UK, it will only be transferred to countries that have been identified as providing adequate protection for data (like the US), or to a third party where we have approved transfer mechanisms in place to protect your personal data – i.e., by entering into the Standard Contractual Clauses, or by ensuring the entity is Privacy Shield certified (for transfers to US-based third parties).

Your rights

It is your personal data and you have certain rights relating to it. When it comes to marketing communications, you can ask us not to send you these at any time – just follow the unsubscribe instructions contained in our e-newsletter or send us an e-mail to: media@thirdway.earth

You also have rights to:

– know what personal data we hold about you, and to make sure it’s correct and up to date
– access, correct, amend or delete that information
