Update Notice: We updated the TapIn Media Ltd Privacy Policy effective July 9, 2024. For new contacts, these updates will apply immediately. For existing TapIn Media Ltd contacts, these updates will apply beginning July 10 2024. Your continued use of our services automatically constitutes your acceptance of this updated Policy. This updated Privacy Policy completely replaces all previous versions.
1.1. Our websites and services are operated by Tap In Media Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 11044802, assigned VAT registration number 357 6177 66, whose registered office is at Peter House, Oxford Street, Manchester, England, M1 5AN (the “Company”, “we“, “us” or “our“). The Company respects your privacy and is committed to treating any information that we obtain about you with as much care as possible and in a manner that is compliant with all applicable data protection legislation including the retained EU law version of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“UK GDPR“), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (collectively, “Data Protection Legislation“).
1.2. Please read this data protection, privacy and cookie policy (the “policy“) carefully. It is important that you read this policy together with any other privacy notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. Personal data, or personal information, means any information about a living individual from which that person can be identified (directly or indirectly). It covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). This privacy notice supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them. If you are using our websites, your acceptance of this policy is deemed to occur upon your first use of the sites. This policy applies where we are acting as a data controller with respect to your personal data; in other words, where we determine the purposes and means of the processing of that personal data.

1.2.1.3.and any other interaction between you and us through any other channels related or ancillary to the foregoing, (collectively, the “Channels“);
1.2.2.how we collect, store, disclose, transfer, protect and otherwise process that personal data (and for what purposes); and
1.2.3. other important information, such as the lawful bases by which we process your personal data, how long we might retain your personal data, and the rights you have in relation to personal data we hold about you.
1.3. This policy supplements (and its terms apply in addition to) any other terms of use or other terms and conditions agreed between you and the Company from time to time.
1.4. In this policy, terms defined in the UK GDPR, including “data subject”, “personal data“, and “processing“, have the same meaning when used in this policy. The words “include”, “including”, “such as” and similar words and phrases shall be construed to mean “including without limitations”.
1.5. This policy is intended to be communicated to you in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible manner, but we appreciate that you may have queries or want to seek clarification as to its terms. If so, please email hello@wearetapin.com or write to Data
Protection Enquiries, Tap In Media Ltd, Peter House, Oxford Street, Manchester, England, M1 5AN and we will endeavour to respond as soon as possible.
1.6. The Company reserves the right to make changes to this policy in order to reflect any changes in Data Protection Legislation and best practice from time to time. After the release of the latest version of the privacy policy on July 9 2024, the Company will endeavour to notify you of any changes via email and each time you interact with us through the Channels and you may be required to read and accept the changes to continue your use of the Channels or the services via a short-form privacy policy pop-up on our sites www.wearetapin.com and https://www.thisisblackgenz.com

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us (see paragraph 12 below). If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
4.1. Your consent
By accepting the terms of this policy, you give the Company your express, freely given consent to process any of your personal data in accordance with the terms of this policy. We will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you. You may withdraw your consent given under this paragraph (in whole or in part) at any time by contacting hello@wearetapin.com. You can also unsubscribe from different types of emails by following the unsubscribe link displayed at the bottom of each email. The withdrawal of your consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal or the lawfulness of processing based on other lawful grounds as set out below.
4.2. Other lawful grounds
Without prejudice to the consent given by you under paragraph 4.1 above, the Company may process your personal data in any circumstances where such processing is necessary:
4.2.1. in order to perform any agreement between us (including pursuant to our any terms of use governing our website or any other arrangement between us including but not limited to research participant agreements, speaker engagement agreements, sponsor agreements, client agreements or ad hoc project agreements);
4.2.2. to comply with any applicable law or regulation including but not limited to recruitment and human resources;
4.2.3. where it is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by us or third parties and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Legitimate Interests means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us (see paragraph 12 below). These legitimate interests include the purposes identified above in paragraph 3.1 but also include other commercial interests and our internal administrative purposes; or
4.2.4. where processing data is necessary to facilitate projects and tasks that are considered of public interest, including but not limited to gaining insights about talent attraction, recruitment, employee retention, barriers to entry into the workplace, challenges in the workplace and workplace culture.
4.3 Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in this policy.
5.1. Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of an agreement we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested (or fail to consent to the processing of that data, if necessary), we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with products or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
5.2. Whilst we may be able to provide you with certain products and services notwithstanding your refusal to submit personal data, this may limit your ability to participate in some activities or features or your use of certain online services or functionality.
6.1. We will not share any of your personal data with third parties except as set out in this paragraph 6 or otherwise notified to you or agreed between you and us from time to time.
6.2. We may share personal data with our group companies and partnered companies (together, “Affiliates“) in order to provide our services to you and for the other purposes outlined in this policy. We may also share personal data with third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this policy.
6.3. From time to time, we will also need to share personal data with the following types of third party service providers who we engage to provide services which facilitate our business activities and who may need to process your personal data to the extent necessary to provide those services:
6.3.1. our cloud storage providers including; Dropbox Sign and Google Drive

sites which you link to your account (if and when we offer that feature) or share content via or third parties who sponsor, or administer on our behalf, any competitions, prize draws, promotions or surveys which you voluntarily partake in; and
6.3.6. any similar or replacement third parties from time to time.
6.4. We seek to ensure that any third party engaged by us who processes your personal data in connection with such engagement has policies and procedures in place to ensure compliance with the Data Protection Legislation.
6.5. For any third parties that are based, or process data, overseas, we only engage such third parties in accordance with paragraph 7.
6.6. Unless otherwise disclosed to you from time to time, we will remain the data controller in respect of your personal data notwithstanding that third parties may be engaged as data processors.
6.7. We may also share your personal information with third parties where we are required to do so by law or regulation (for example, in connection with an investigation of fraud or other legal enquiry) or in connection with other legal proceedings (including where we believe that your actions violate applicable laws, any terms of use governing our website or any other arrangement between us, or any usage guidelines for specific products or services, or threaten the rights, property, or safety of our Company, our users, or others).
7.1. From time to time it may be necessary for us to transfer your information internationally. In particular your information may be transferred to and/or stored on the servers of our Affiliates or other third parties identified in paragraph 6 which are based outside of the EEA. Transfers to external parties based outside the UK are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK. We will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and will be fully protected under the Data Protection Legislation and/or to equivalent standards by law. Transfers of personal data to the EEA from the UK are permitted without additional safeguards.
7.2. However, we will not transfer your personal data outside of the EEA unless:
7.2.1. such transfer is to a country or jurisdiction which the EU Commission has approved as having an adequate level of protection. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries;
7.2.2.appropriate safeguards are in place as set out in Article 46 UK GDPR or equivalent provisions of subsequent Data Protection Legislation; or
7.2.3.the transfer is otherwise allowed by applicable Data Protection Legislation (such as in the form of a derogation under Article 49 UK GDPR or by using specific approved contracts which ensure the same levels of personal data protection that apply under the Data Protection Legislation. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries).
By giving us your personal data, you agree to these arrangements. Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data internationally.
8.1. Subject to any conditions or requirements set out in the relevant Data Protection Legislation, you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you:
8.1.1.the right to request a copy of your personal data held by us (commonly known as a “data subject access request”) and to check that we are lawfully processing it;
8.1.2.the right to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by us. You can deactivate your account, or amend any personal data which cannot be modified online, by emailing us at hello@wearetapin.com.
8.1.3.the right to request that we erase the personal data we hold about you. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request;
8.1.4.the right to request that we restrict the processing of your data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it;
8.1.5.the right to have your personal data transferred to you or to another organisation. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you;
8.1.6.the right to object to certain types of processing of your personal data by us where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms; and
8.1.7.the right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
8.2. Please note however that these rights are not absolute in all situations and may be subject to conditions and provisos set out in relevant Data Protection Legislation. The Company cannot therefore guarantee that any request from you in connection with the rights set out above will be agreed to. For further information, or to see if you can exercise any particular right, please contact us at hello@wearetapin.com.
8.3 You also have the right to ask us not to continue to process your personal data for marketing purposes. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
8.4 We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
8.5 We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. In the case of subject access requests, normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within one month. 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.
8.6 If you require any information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in paragraph 12. Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
9.1. We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. Data is retained for a minimum of 6 years for tax purposes and a maximum of 10 years. Data is monitored annually and any subject data that is deemed no longer fit for purpose ie. services are targeted for specific ages only. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. As a minimum, we need to store your data for as long as is necessary to enable us to provide you with the services that you have requested from us (or to support your other uses of our Channels, such as maintaining your account on our website). However, we will retain certain of your personal data for longer if we think it is reasonably necessary to do so in the circumstances, taking into consideration factors such as:
9.1.1.our need to perform any agreements between you and us (including order fulfilment); 9.1.2.our need to answer any queries or resolve any problems you may have;
9.1.3.your continued consent to receive marketing and other emails and communications from us;
9.1.4.our continued provision of our services to you; and
9.1.5.our need to comply with legal requirements (e.g. relating to record keeping).
9.2. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see ‘your rights as a data subject’ above for further information. If you tell us that you would like to delete your account, we will take steps to delete all the personal data we hold about you once it is no longer necessary for us to hold it (e.g. to fulfil any outstanding orders, resolve disputes, or as is permitted by applicable law or regulation).
9.3. For as long as we do store your data, the Company follows generally accepted industry standards and maintains reasonable safeguards to attempt to ensure the security, integrity, and privacy of the information you have provided. The Company has security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control, as well as limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Personal data collected by the Company in connection with this policy is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. The Company maintains information at secure data centers, where information is encrypted end-to-end when being transferred or stored. Other measures used include; two-factor authentication; in-house access controls; password protection; secure deletion, contractual obligations and data handling processes for TapIn Media Ltd employees and outsourced third parties.
9.4. Notwithstanding our efforts to keep your personal data secure, no system can be 100% reliable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide through the Channels. In addition, you are responsible for maintaining the strength and confidentiality of your login credentials (if any).
9.5. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you (and any applicable regulator where we are legally required to do so) as soon as reasonably practicable if we have reason to believe that there has been a personal data breach by us which could adversely affect your rights and freedoms.
10.1. Our Channels may link or redirect to other websites that are beyond our control. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. Such links or redirections are not endorsements of such websites or representation of our affiliation with them in any way and such third party websites are outside the scope of this policy.
10.2. If you access such third party websites, please ensure that you are satisfied with their respective privacy policies before you provide them with any personal data. We cannot be held responsible for the activities, privacy policies or levels of privacy compliance of any website operated by any third party.
