Data Protection

What data do we collect and how?

We collect personally identifiable information that is voluntarily provided by visitors to this Site (“User Data”) (i.e. through enquiry forms, survey forms and emails) and through the collection of cookies (see below).

The User Data that i-Transport LLP receives from Site visitors includes name, title, address, email address, screen name, telephone and fax numbers, and any other information provided to us by visitors in email messages or attachments which may include banking details.

i-Transport does not use automated decision-making, including profiling.

Why do we collect data?

User Data is collected in order to provide travel information services and meet requests for travel incentives which are being offered under the approved Travel Plans for the CALA development sites covered by the Site.

Examples of such services include :

  • responding to your request if you contact us with a question
  • registering you for a Travel Plan event at a development site
  • facilitating your request for any applicable travel vouchers
  • accepting your entry to a prize draw or competition
  • recording your (voluntary) participation in travel plan monitoring to enable i-Transport and CALA to report to the local authorities on the implementation of the Travel Plans
  • providing you with information about Travel Plan events, travel information and travel plan performance monitoring

It is i-Transport LLP’s policy to limit the information collected to only the minimum information required to complete a Site visitor’s request. Where practical we will use anonymised data to carry out any travel plan monitoring and reporting.

Collection of Sensitive Information

i-Transport LLP’s intention is not to seek any sensitive information through our Site. Sensitive information includes a number of types of data relating to race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or other similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health, sexual life, or criminal record.

Use of User Data

User Data obtained by the Site is used only for the internal business purposes of i-Transport LLP and CALA for the purposes described in this privacy policy.

User data is not shared with others for unrelated purposes unless stated in this Privacy Policy or otherwise communicated to the Site visitor.

To use your personal data for the purposes described in this privacy policy we will rely on a condition known as “legitimate interests”. It is in our legitimate interests to collect your personal data as it provides us with the information that we need to provide our services (namely to provide you with information on the Travel Plan that you have enquired about) to you more effectively, or to report on the success of the Travel Plan in accordance with CALA’s legal obligations for its development sites.

i-Transport LLP makes every practical effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant collection of data. We will always obtain the minimum data needed to achieve this legitimate interest.  If a visitor believes the Site has collected excessive information, we encourage the visitor to contact us at enquiries@i-transport.co.uk to raise any concerns.

Except for instances where visitors explicitly choose to receive specific i-Transport LLP marketing or other informational materials, i-Transport LLP will not use personal data collected from the Site to distribute marketing or informational materials.

Data Retention

If you submit data to us in connection with the services offered on the Site, we will store this data securely on our internal servers, and retain this data for the minimum period required. This will include:

  • For travel vouchers, personal data including name, address, email address and bank details will be deleted 3 months after information has been provided by the visitor. We will maintain a record of the plot number that has received the travel voucher for a period of 12 years.
  • For any data collected via online questionnaires (e.g. Survey Monkey), personal data will be removed (or anonymised) 12 months after the deadline of any questionnaire.

Third Parties

It is i-Transport LLP’s policy only to disclose User Data to third parties under the following circumstances:

  • when explicitly requested by the visitor;
  • when required in order to provide a sustainable travel voucher (e.g. bus travel voucher)

Third parties could include bus companies (e.g. Stagecoach or Thames Valley), walking and cycling shops, bicycle user groups and other sustainable travel groups, individuals, companies which have been identified to help encourage sustainable travel to and from each of the developments.

Categories of third parties that i-Transport may share personally identifiable information with include state, and local government entities. This Site does not collect or compile personally identifying information for dissemination or sale to outside parties for consumer marketing purposes, or host mailings on behalf of third parties.

Use of Cookies

A cookie is a tiny element of data that a website can send to a visitor’s computer’s browser so that this computer will be recognised by the site on their return. Cookies allow our web server to recognise a computer on connection to the Site, which in turn allows the server to make downloading of pages faster than on first viewing. In addition, cookies may also be used by us to establish statistics about the use of the Site by Internet users by gathering and analysing data such as: most visited pages, time spent by users on each page, site performance, etc. By collecting and using such data, we hope to improve the quality of the Site.

The data collected by our servers and/or through cookies that may be placed on your computer will not be kept for longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes mentioned above.

Navigation data about site viewers is automatically collected by our servers. If you do not wish to have this navigation data collected, we recommend that you do not use the Site. A visitor can also set their browser to block the recording of cookies on their hard drive to minimise the amount of data that may be collected about your navigating on the Site. The browser on a computer can be set to notify the

user when a cookie is being recorded on their computer’s hard drive. Most browsers can also be set to keep cookies from being recorded on their computer. However, for optimal use of the Site, we recommend that visitors do not block the recording of cookies on their computer.

All i-Transport LLP servers and computer systems are protected from outside intrusions. As a result, all data that may be collected about Site viewers through the use of cookies will be protected from unauthorised access.

Cookies used on the Site are only active for the duration of the visit. Cookies used on this site are not stored on visitor’s computer once you have closed your web browser. Information generated by the use of cookies may be compiled into an aggregate form so that no individual can be identified.

We may at some stage use cookies to identify users when they visit the Site to use personalised services. In such circumstances these cookies may be kept on the hard drive of their computer following closure of the web browser. Cookies used in connection with such services enable us to build up a profile of our users and to develop personalised versions of the Site.

Transfer of User Data outside the User Jurisdiction

The Internet is a global environment, therefore to provide the Site we may need to transfer User Data to locations outside the jurisdiction in which a visitor is viewing the Site (the User Jurisdiction) and process User Data outside the User Jurisdiction. If the User Jurisdiction is within the European Economic Area (the EEA) please note that such transfers and processing of personal data may be in locations outside the EEA. Any data sent or uploaded by users may be accessible in jurisdictions outside the User Jurisdiction (including outside the EEA). The level of data protection offered in such jurisdictions may be less than that offered within the User Jurisdiction or (as the case may be) within the EEA.

User Data may be controlled and processed by any of i-Transport LLP’s offices. The location of our offices may change from time to time and i-Transport LLP may acquire offices in any number of countries or territories at any time, any one or more of which may act as controllers of and/or process personal information of visitors. By continuing to use the Site and by providing any personal data

(including sensitive personal data) to us via the Site or email addresses provided on the Site, visitors are consenting to such transfers, provided that they are in accordance with our legal obligations under relevant data protection legislation in force at the time and the purposes set out above and elsewhere in any Legal Notice and this Privacy Policy. Please do not send us any personal data if you do not consent to the transfer of this information to locations outside the User Jurisdiction (including, if applicable, outside the EEA).
