For the purposes of the other processing activities set out in this notice, the controller will be the relevant Signature entity with which you contract as a customer or supplier, as explained below, or with whom you communicate.

We collect different types of personal data about you when you visit our Website, communicate with us or otherwise engage with us. We also obtain personal data from other sources and create some personal data ourselves.

Signature Aviation cannot identify you personally as a user of its Website unless you are logged in to any account with us and save for dealing with any cyber security incident investigation, will not try to identify you from any online identifiers like your IP address.

The relationship we have with you will dictate what, if any, personal data we collect about you and why we use it. This Policy explains use of your personal data by or on behalf of Signature Aviation when acting as the responsible Controller as explained above. We will sometimes obtain personal data from other sources, such as from other third parties or publicly available online sources or official records such as Companies House in the UK.

Your information might also be provided to us or to Link by third parties, for example by an agent through which you trade in Signature Aviation shares.

Uses of your personal information

We process your personal data for many different purposes when you visit our Website or otherwise communicate or engage with us.

We are required by law to always have a permitted reason or justification (called a “lawful basis”) for processing your personal data. You can read more about what we process your data for, and the lawful bases on which we rely for such processing, in the table below.

For some processing activities, we consider that more than one lawful basis may be relevant depending on the circumstances. Use on the basis of “contract” means to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract with you. Use on the basis of “legal obligation” means to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject. Use on the basis of our legitimate interests means we have a fair, proportionate and overriding lawful business reason to use your details. This will primarily be where by using the information, we learn about you or develop our relationship, so we can work together more closely and better, or make sound business decisions involving or affecting you.

We may convert your personal data into statistical or aggregated form, or de-identify it, to better protect your privacy, or so that you are not identified or identifiable from it. Anonymised data cannot be linked back to you. We may use it to conduct research and analysis, including to produce statistical research and reports.

Your personal data will not be sold or licensed outside the Signature Aviation Group for marketing purposes.

Your Rights

If Signature Aviation uses your personal data as a Controller and UK or European Union law applies to that use:

You have certain legal rights, which are summarised in the table below, in relation to any personal data held by Signature Aviation about you. Your ability to exercise these rights will naturally be limited where we incidentally use limited business-related personal data in business records and business communications which we need to retain.

Where our processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you do decide to withdraw your consent we will stop processing your personal data for that purpose, unless there is another lawful basis we can rely on – in which case, we will let you know. Your withdrawal of your consent won’t impact any of our processing up to that point.

Where our processing of your personal data is necessary for our legitimate interests, you can object to this processing at any time. If you do this, we will need to show either a compelling reason why our processing should continue, which overrides your interests, rights and freedoms or that the processing is necessary for us to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us at dataprivacy@signatureaviation.com.

Your right	What does it mean?	Limitations and conditions of your right
Right of access	Subject to certain conditions, you are entitled to have access to your personal data (this is more commonly known as submitting a “data subject access request”).	If possible, you should specify the type of information you would like to see to ensure that our disclosure is meeting your expectations. We must be able to verify your identity. Your request may not impact the rights and freedoms of other people, e.g. privacy and confidentiality rights of other individuals. Other exemptions may apply dependent on the information and context.
Right to data portability	Subject to certain conditions, you are entitled to receive the personal data which you have provided to us and which is processed by us by automated means, in a structured, commonly-used machine readable format.	If you exercise this right, you should specify the type of information you would like to receive (and where we should send it) where possible to ensure that our disclosure is meeting your expectations. This right only applies if the processing is based on your consent or on our contract with you and when the processing is carried out by automated means (i.e. not for paper records). It covers only the personal data that has been provided to us by you.
Rights in relation to inaccurate personal or incomplete data	You may challenge the accuracy or completeness of your personal data and have it corrected or completed, as applicable. You have a responsibility to help us to keep your personal information accurate and up to date. We encourage you to notify us of any changes regarding your personal data as soon as they occur, including changes to your contact details.	This right only applies to your own personal data. When exercising this right, please be as specific as possible.
Right to object to or restrict our data processing	Subject to certain conditions, you have the right to object to or ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data.	As stated above, this right applies where our processing of your personal data is necessary for our legitimate interests. You can also object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Right to erasure	Subject to certain conditions, you are entitled to have your personal data erased (also known as the “right to be forgotten”), e.g. where your personal data is no longer needed for the purposes it was collected for, or where the relevant processing is unlawful.	We may not be in a position to erase your personal data, if for example, we need it to (i) comply with a legal obligation, or (ii) exercise or defend legal claims.
Right to withdrawal of consent	As stated above, where our processing of your personal data is based on your consent you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.	If you withdraw your consent, this will only take effect for future processing.

If any of the personal information you give us changes, or something is incorrect (e.g. your contact details) please inform us without delay by contacting your local customer service representative or at dataprivacy@signatureaviation.com.

If you have any concerns about how we process your personal data, please send an email with the details of your concerns to dataprivacy@signatureaviation.com so we can try to resolve it.
