“Gorilla Giveaways Ltd is very conscious of information security and we take the security of personal data very seriously to ensure our customers are protected.

In conjunction with GDPR compliance, Gorilla Giveaways have conducted comprehensive reviews of all activities across the business and how supporting data is processed. The company’s activities fall within three key areas:

* A data controller of its own employee data.

* A data controller or processor of third-party data such as activity relating to direct marketing.

* A data processor or controller of customer personal data.

* Following a full review and assessment of GDPR, Gorilla Giveaways has designed its company policies and procedures to ensure compliance with regulations.

* Gorilla Giveaways has created a detailed policy and ‘frequently asked questions’ document so that customers can clearly see Gorilla Giveaways’ activity in respect of GDPR.

Gorilla Giveaways only collect basic personal data which may include information about you personally for the purposes of verifying eligibility to use our services, and to enable us to deliver Prizes to Winners of our Competitions. This includes name, age, address, phone number, email address etc.

We need to know your basic personal data in order to check your eligibility to use our services and also to ensure that we can deliver any Prizes to you that you Win in any of our Competitions. We will not collect any personal data from you that we do not need in order to provide and oversee our services to you.

All the personal data we have is processed by our team in the UK, however for the purposes of IT hosting and maintenance, this information is located on our servers and no other parties have access to your personal data unless the law allows them to do so. From time to time we may need to share your data with other third-party service providers such as:

* Email service providers such as Mailchimp and Word Press

* Website/Online analytics such as Google Analytics

* Delivery and/or logistics companies

* Competition draw services such as Random Picker

* Social Media websites such as Facebook, Instagram & Tik-Tok in order to share content

We reasonably endeavour to ensure any third parties that we use have their own complaint policies and procedures in place for dealing with personal data.

What personal data do you process?

Any data which relates to an identifiable person (Customer). Name, Age, address, phone number, email, etc.

For what purpose do you process this personal data?  

Data is collected for specific, legitimate and explicit purposes of providing skill, judgement or knowledge based competition services in order to allow our customers to enter competitions on our Website whilst ensuring their eligibility to do so.

What are the risks to data subjects’ rights and freedoms if the personal data is destroyed, lost, altered, disclosed without authority, or accessed without authority?

Following a full review of our policies/procedures and also a full review of GDPR guidelines, we believe the risks are minimal as the information we obtain is contained solely in our database. It is not shared with any outside third parties, except for email service providers, website analytic services, delivery/logistics services, competition draw services and social media website, all of which have their own complaint policies and procedures for processing personal data. In the event data is lost, altered or disclosed without authority etc. the customer could report us to ICO which could mean fines of up 4% of our turnover. There could also potential compensation claims that can be made by the data subject. Non-financial risks include reputational damage as the ICO will name non-compliant organisations which would effect our reputation in the industry with our customers. The risks are high in relation to penalties, but this the same for all UK companies and we believe the risks are low. The worst case scenario is that the ICO could stop us processing personal data.

What provisions do you have in place to either delete or return the personal data once the service comes to an end?

When a data subject requests this, we will contact the data subject, discuss the deletion or return of records, and then remove accordingly. Otherwise it is our intention to keep the customers details on our system for 12 months from the last time they either replied to an email, accessed our website/app or commented on our social media, as this coincides with our “legitimate business interests”.

What provisions/training do you have in place to ensure that your employees process the personal data in accordance with Gorilla Giveaways ’ instructions?

We have provided training to our team members so that they understand GDPR and have also prepared a specific training session which fully explains GDPR and the responsibilities of Gorilla Giveaways. 

Do you understand the GDPR requirements in detail and are you satisfied that you are aware of the impact these will have on your business?

Yes, we are happy that we have a good understanding of GDPR requirements and the impact they have on our business.
