WHO ARE WE
We are InstaCare Systems Limited a registered company (no. 08728552). The registered address is Lloyds Bank Chambers, High Street, Crediton, England, EX17 3AH.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
If you purchase services from us, communicate with us, or do business with us, this will result in us collecting personal data about you (for example, we collect the name, address, email, fax and telephone number of business contacts).
We also collect information provided if you fill in a form, complete a survey, etc., which may include contact information that we decide to use for marketing purposes. We do not normally collect sensitive personal data. In the event you provide us with any sensitive personal data, we will take extra care to ensure your rights are protected.
We obtain information about you when you use our website, for example, when you contact us about our services via our form on our contact page.
Third party sources. We sometimes collect additional information about actual or prospective customers from third-party sources. Most of the time this won’t be personal data, though on occasion we may receive personal data (such as a person’s work email or telephone number, or details of their role within a business).
WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION IS COLLECTED FROM YOU ON OUR WEBSITE?
The personal information we collect might include your name, email address, IP address, your company name and your phone number. We also collect information regarding what pages are accessed and when, but we are unable to link this to you personally.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We only use your personal data with your consent, or to the extent necessary to:
- Enter into, or perform, a contract with you;
- Comply with a legal duty;
- Remember your preferences e.g. if you ask not to receive marketing material, we will keep a record of this, or
- For our own (or a third party’s) lawful interests (such as marketing, internal record keeping, market research or to improve our products) provided your rights don’t override these.
We will only use your information for the purpose it was collected (or for similar/related purposes). For our clients, this includes using personal data to the extent necessary to perform our contractual obligations (such as administering their accounts and providing them with services).
We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.
No personal information is stored in our website log. All communications are sent directly from the site to us via traditional email and only authorised staff have access to these. If you sign up for our newsletters, the information you provide will be stored on the site of a third party which only we have access to.
The only data stored in our website log are IP addresses but that piece of information does not directly identify a person as we collected no other data alongside it. Plus we have no legal means of obtaining sufficient additional data to make such a link – therefore an IP address on its own is not classed as personal data and thus is not covered by GDPR.
MARKETING
We use personal information (such as email addresses) to market and promote our services to other businesses.
You have a choice about whether or not you wish to receive information from us. If you have opted into receiving communications from us and would like to opt-out; for emails please use the link at the foot of the last email sent to you to update your preferences. Or you can change your communications preferences at any time by contacting us by emailing us at info@instacaresystems.co.uk or telephone on 01392 877267.

SECURITY PRECAUTIONS IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE LOSS, MISUSE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR INFORMATION
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear in your web browser, meaning the connection between you and the server is secure.
Non-sensitive details (sent via email forms) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
