GD Connector Privacy
You have a legal right to be informed about how our app uses any personal information that we hold about you. To comply with this, we provide a 'privacy notice' to you where we are processing your personal data.
This privacy notice explains how we collect, store and use personal data about you.
We, Carter Computing, are the 'data controller' for the purposes of data protection law.
If you have any queries about this privacy statement please contact our Data Protection Officer:

Our legal basis for using this data
We will only collect and use your information when the law allows us to. Most often, we will use your information where:

Sometimes, we may also use your personal information where:
- You have given us permission to use it in a certain way

- Where we have got permission to use your data, you may withdraw this at any time. We will make this clear when we ask for permission, and explain how to go about withdrawing consent.
Collecting this information
While in most cases you can provide the personal information we need to collect, there are some occasions when you can choose whether or not to provide the data.
We will always tell you if it's optional. If you must provide the data, we will explain what might happen if you don't.
How we store this data
We will keep personal information about you while you are a user of our app. We may also keep it after you have stopped using the app, where we are required to by law.
We have a record retention schedule which sets out how long we must keep information about our users.
Data sharing
We do not share personal information about you with anyone outside of our app developers without permission from you, unless the law and our policies allow us to do so.
Where it is legally required, or necessary for another reason allowed under data protection law, we may share personal information about you with:

Your rights
How to access personal information we hold about you
You can find out if we hold any personal information about you, and how we use it, by making a 'subject access request', as long as we judge that you can properly understand your rights and what they mean.
If we do hold information about you, we will:
- Give you a description of it
- Tell you why we are holding and using it, and how long we will keep it for
- Explain where we got it from, if not from you
- Tell you who it has been, or will be, shared with
- Let you know if we are using your data to make any automated decisions (decisions being taken by a computer or machine, rather than by a person)
- Give you a copy of the information
You may also ask us to send your personal information to another organisation electronically in certain circumstances.
If you want to make a request please contact our data protection officer.

- Have it corrected, deleted or destroyed if it is wrong, or restrict our use of it
