Privacy Policy

Avita Group, trading as Avita Tech Ltd (“Avita/We/Us/Our”) is committed to preserving your privacy. We will only collect, process, and use your personal data in ways that are described here, and in a way that is consistent our obligations and your rights under EU and UK law. Personal data is defined by Article 4(1) of the GDPR. Your rights as a data subject are defined in Chapter III. Please see here for a the full GDPR text.

The personal data we collect
We may collect some or all of the following personal data (this may vary according to your relationship with us):

  • Name;
  • Postal address;
  • E-mail address;
  • Telephone number;
  • Business name;
  • Job title

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary to enter into, or for the performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use it, for example if you have purchased a similar product or service from us in the past.

Your personal data may be used for one of the following purposes:

  • Supplying our products and/or services to you. Your personal details are required in order for us to enter into or perform a contract with you;
  • Defence of a legal claim;
  • Communicating with you. This may include responding to emails, forms submitted on this website or any other website we control, calls from you, or updating you with service-specific information or notices;
  • Supplying you with information by e-mail and/or post that you have opted-in to (you may unsubscribe or opt-out at any time by using the Contact Us form on our website at https://www.avita.eu.com/contact-us/, or by e-mailing gdpr@avita.eu.com)

We will only store or transfer your personal data within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the GDPR or to equivalent standards by law.

The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:

  • Keeping our IT systems up to date with the latest manufacturer patches and firmware updates;
  • Employing a boundary firewall with intrusion prevention;
  • Unique individual user accounts, with passwords that meet industry-standard complexity requirements and are changed regularly;
  • Regular and frequent off-site backups of data;
  • Redundant hardware;
  • Physical access controls;
  • Penetration testing;
  • Transport layer security (TLS/SSL);
  • Whole device and file encryption

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to one important exception.
In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to gdpr@avita.eu.com or the postal addresses on the bottom of each page on our website (http://www.avita.eu.com/).
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.

Changes to this Privacy Notice
We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. This may be necessary, for example, if the law changes, or if we change our business in a way that affects personal data protection. Any changes will be made available in this privacy notice on our website. Please check it frequently for updates.
