For example, we may present videos from a third party video hosting service by framing them within pages on this Website. In some cases, it will be clear that we have incorporated third party elements, whilst in others it may not.
These third party websites may use cookies or collect personal information about you when you access the content they host through this Site. For further information, please visit our Cookie Policy.

4. Disclosure of your personal information by us

We only disclose your personal information outside our business in limited circumstances. If we do, we will put in place a contract that requires recipients to protect your personal information, unless we are legally required to share that information. Any contractors or recipients that work for us will be obliged to follow our instructions. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

As the controller of your personal information, we decide why and how it is processed.
Our responsibility for that processing extends to processing by our service providers if they process your personal information based on our instructions. We also work with other, more independent, organisations in connection with some of the processing activities described in this statement, such as our group companies, social media platforms and certain suppliers.
Where that personal information is collected and sent to other organisations for a processing purpose that is in both our and their interests or where we make decisions together in relation to that particular processing, we will be “joint controllers” with the organisations involved. Where this applies, we and the other organisation will be jointly responsible to you under data protection laws for this processing. If we pass your personal information to an organisation that independently decides why and how to use your personal information then it will be separately responsible to you for that processing and use your personal information in the ways described in its privacy policy (and not ours).
We may disclose your information to our third party service providers, agents and subcontractors (Suppliers) for the purposes of providing services to us or directly to you on our behalf, including the operation and maintenance of our Website and social media pages. Our Suppliers can be categorised as below.
When we use Suppliers, we only disclose to them any personal information that is necessary for them to provide their services and only where we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information safe and secure.
We may disclose the personal information to other third parties as follows:
• to social media platforms with whom we work (see further Our use of social media);
• to any third party who is restructuring, selling or acquiring some or all of our business or assets or otherwise in the event of a merger, re-organisation or similar event; and
• if we are under a duty to disclose or share your information in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation or request, including by the police, courts, tribunals or regulators.

We process your personal information using social media platforms in a variety of ways, as follows:
Pages. We use your personal information when you post content or otherwise interact with us on our official pages on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and other social media platforms. We also use the Page Insights service for Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to view statistical information and reports regarding your interactions with the pages we administer on those platforms and their content. Where those interactions are recorded and form part of the information we access through the Page Insights services, we and the relevant platform are joint controllers of the processing necessary to provide that service to us.
Targeted advertising. We use social media platforms to deliver targeted advertising to you via those platforms, unless you object. You may receive advertising because you have previously interacted with us (such as by visiting one of our websites) or because of your profile on a social media platform on which you have an account. You can find our more by consulting the help pages of the relevant social media platform but in summary we use social media platforms to send targeted advertising using two methods:
•‘Custom audience’ targeting. You may receive advertising based on information about you that we have provided to the platform or allowed it to collect using cookies/pixels or code embedded in this Website (or a combination of the two). For example, we may target you if you have signed up to our mailing list and where cookies have detected that you have visited this Website in the last month. Please see the paragraph below regarding our use of cookies to send targeted advertising using social media.
• ‘Lookalike audience’ Targeting. You may also receive advertising because, at our request, the social media platform has identified you as falling within a group or ‘audience’ whose attributes we have selected, or a group that has similar attributes to you (or a combination of the two).
Cookies. We use cookies and similar technologies in this Site to collect and send information to Meta and LinkedIn about actions you take on this Site. In particular:
• Meta (who operates the Facebook and Instagram platforms) uses this information to provide services to us and also for further processing for its own business purposes. We and Meta are joint controllers of the processing involved in collecting and sending your personal information to Meta using cookies and similar technologies as each of us has a business interest in Meta receiving this information. You can find out more about these technologies by visiting our Cookie Policy. The services we receive from Meta that use this information are delivered to us through Meta’s Business Tools, which include Facebook Login (Facebook’s single sign-on service, see above), Facebook Pixel and Website Custom Audiences (which includes ‘lookalike audience’ targeting). The data from these tools allows us to target advertising to you within Meta’s social media platforms by creating audiences based on your actions on our website and applications. They also allow Meta to improve and optimise the targeting and delivery of our advertising campaigns for us. Please see the paragraph above for further information.
• We use LinkedIn Insight Tag, a small piece of code that we embed in this Website that allows us to perform in-depth campaign reporting and unlock insights about users that may visit this Website via our LinkedIn campaigns (e.g. by allowing us to discover business demographics by layering LinkedIn data on data about our Website’s visitors). LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of metadata such as IP addresses, timestamps, and events such as page views. You can find out more about these technologies by visiting our Cookie Policy.
Our relationship with Meta and LinkedIn. As we are joint controllers with these platforms for certain processing, we and each platform have:
• entered into agreements in which we have agreed each of our data protection responsibilities for the processing of your personal information described above;
• agreed that we are responsible for providing to you the information in this privacy statement about our relationship with each platform; and
• agreed that each platform is responsible for responding to you when you exercise your rights under data protection law in relation to that platform’s processing of your personal information as a joint controller.
Meta and LinkedIn also process, as our processors, personal information that we submit for the purposes of matching, online targeting, measurement, reporting and analytics purposes. These services include the processing these platforms carry out when they display our advertisements to you in your news feed at our request after matching contact details for you that we have uploaded to them. These advertisements may include forms through which we collect contact information you give to us.

SCP Holdings Ltd is a company based in Bermuda and there are some instances where your data may be accessed from Bermuda.Whenever your data is accessed outside of Europe we take measures to protect your personal information.

Some of the information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA) (including Bermuda, the USA and India). These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK and EEA. Countries outside these locations to which we transfer your personal information are listed in the table under Disclosure of your personal information by us.
Where we transfer your information outside of the UK and EEA in this way, we take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected in the ways required by data protection law as outlined in this policy. These steps include imposing contractual obligations on the recipient of your personal information using standard clauses issued by the UK Secretary of State and relying on decisions they issue declaring that a country is adequately protective of personal information to a degree that allows us to safely transfer your personal information to that country. Please contact us using the details at the end of this policy for more information about the protections that we put in place and to obtain a copy or access to the relevant documents.
If you use our services whilst you are outside the UK and EEA, your information may be transferred outside the UK and EEA in order to provide you with those services.

7. Security and links to other websites

We take the security of your personal information seriously and use a variety of measures based on good industry practice to keep it secure. Nonetheless, transmissions over the internet and to our Website may not be completely secure, so please exercise caution. When accessing links to other websites, their privacy policies, not ours, will apply to your personal information.

We employ security measures to protect the personal information you provide to us, to prevent access by unauthorised persons and unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. When we have provided (or you have chosen) a password allowing you access to certain parts of the Website you are responsible for safeguarding it and keeping it confidential and you promise not to allow it to be used by third parties. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

You accept the inherent security implications of using the internet and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security unless we are at fault.
Our Website and social media pages may contain links to other websites run by other organisations which we do not control. This policy does not apply to those other websites‚ so we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
