How we contacted you, and your data
If you received an email from Fair Payment offering a story or free data on how fast companies pay their suppliers, this is the notice that goes with it, required under Article 14 of the UK GDPR because we did not get your address from you directly.
Who we are
Fair Payment is published by Domain Farm Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, company number 13544286, which is the data controller for this contact. You can reach us by replying to the email or at editor@fairpaymentcampaign.co.uk.
If you are a journalist we emailed by name
We took your name, the outlet you write for, your job title and your work email address from Vuelio, a commercial media database that lists journalists' professional contact details so that organisations can send them relevant news. We hold only those details and a record of what we sent and when. We use them only to send you payment practices data and stories, no more than one every 14 days, and never to sell anything or pass them on.
If you work on a newsdesk
We may instead have emailed your newsroom at the news or press address your publication publishes. We hold only your publication's name and that address, and replying stop removes it.
If you run an organisation or website we wrote to about a link
We may have emailed the general address your organisation publishes on its own website (for example an info, enquiries, communications or web address) to suggest a free page of ours, such as a calculator or a guide, for a page of yours that covers late payment, cash flow or construction payment. We hold only your organisation's name, that published address, the page we wrote about and a record of what we sent and when. We write once, and at most once more after 14 days; replying stop removes the address for good.
Why we used it
To offer, free, a local story built from official figures (the payment practices reports large companies must file with the government), or a free resource for a page of yours. There is nothing to buy.
Our lawful basis
Legitimate interests: offering a relevant, free public-interest story to a journalist or newsroom whose work it fits, or a relevant free resource to an organisation whose published page covers the same ground. We have weighed that against your interests, which is why we write rarely, to a professional address, and stop as soon as you ask.
How long we keep it
If you tell us to stop, we keep only enough to make sure we do not email you again. Otherwise we keep your details for no more than 12 months after our last email, unless a conversation is under way.
Your rights, and how to stop this
Reply stop and we will not contact you again. You can also ask us what we hold, to correct it or to delete it, by replying or writing to editor@fairpaymentcampaign.co.uk. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
