We may use some of your personal information for statistical purposes when we evaluate our range of services and product offerings.
In the event that we buy or sell any business and/or assets which involve you as a business contact, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer or seller of the business and/or assets.
We may carry out a credit check when we engage a new supplier or on-board a new customer, which may be repeated from time to time. This may involve processing personal data, such as information relating to company directors or shareholders. We will inform you before carrying out a credit check. Further information can be found below. The above actions are done on the basis that these matters are in the legitimate interest of Tensar and its business.
Consent
We may ask for your consent to process your personal data, for example, to provide you with information about our products, services and events by email.

Legal Obligation
We may use and disclose your personal data to the extent that we are required to do so for compliance purposes, by law or regulation, by or to a law enforcement or taxation agency or for crime prevention purposes.

If you are a proposed new business associate or a member of senior management of a proposed new business associate, we may ask for your full name, date of birth and city/country of residence to facilitate compliance due diligence checks in accordance with our Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Compliance Policy, a copy of which is available on request.

If you are an agent or a distributor, or in some higher risk territories, a customer, and may therefore be considered an ‘associated person’ for the purposes of anti-bribery legislation or a trade sanctions risk, we may carry out compliance screening against your ultimate beneficial owner.

We may share your email address with Google and/or Facebook (acting as data processors) for them to use on our behalf in connection with the creation of marketing and promotion for us.
They may use this to serve targeted advertising/content to you via their platform. You can control what advertisements you receive via the privacy settings on the relevant platform. Google and Facebook may also use socio-demographic information about you to identify other people like you, with similar business interests to present our marketing to. This socio-demographic information is not used for any other purpose nor shared with any other party. No information about other individuals identified from these networks is shared with us at any time.

We will only transfer your information overseas (including outside the UK or the European Economic Area), where we are satisfied that this is lawful and that adequate levels of protection are in place to protect the integrity and security of any information being processed and in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
If we transfer your personal data to service providers and group companies outside the UK or European Economic Area (including the USA) then we will always use a lawful method to do so, such as entering into an agreement in a form approved by the European Commission or the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK, as applicable to your data.
