We may share your personal data to vendors who support our business, such as engineers that support our technical services infrastructure, to provide a more in-depth customer experience. We will also provide information to vendors to facilitate payments.   From time to time we will contact you to request feedback on our service or make a request for a testimonial. This may be carried out via an external marketing organisation.  We will share your information with law enforcement agencies or with a legal entity upon an official legal request.  We will not sell your personal data to any third party companies.

4.Communicating with you

We will use the information we hold to send you marketing communications, communicate with you about products and services and to keep you up to date on policies, company information, arrears payments and changes to our terms.  We will use your information to respond to you when you make contact with us. We may communicate with your or share information via any of our social media platforms.

All Intuity Communications employees undergo regularly training and understand the importance of proctecting the data we hold.  Employees have signed our own internal policy documentation to confirm they adhere to these standards and they are all aware of the escalation process that must come into effect if a breech occurs.  We carry out essential checks on our staff  prior to them joining Intuity Communications and request to see a form of photo indentification.  When an employee leaves the company, Intuity Communications will immediately change all necessary passwords.

7.Compalints

A formal complaint must be put in writing and submitted to a Intuity Communications employee, via letter or email.  We will acknowledge receipt of your communication and provide you with an adequate response within one month.  Should we need an additional month to collate any information, we will inform you before the end of the initial response time.
