Email list hosting service & mailing list manager
This Privacy Policy will help you understand what information we collect from you and process using this website, how we obtain it, and what choices and rights you have about your personal data. When we refer to “Simplelists” within this Privacy Policy, we are referring to Simplelists.com of 27 Old Gloucester Street, London, WC1N 3AX, the company which provides the email list hosting services, the associated websites, and any associated services or features which may be made available to you from this website.
Simplelists is based within the United Kingdom, and as such is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as a Data Controller under the UK Data Protection Act of 1998 (Z9414171). We have also aligned this Privacy Policy with the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) which came into effect on 25th May 2018, under the supervision of the ICO within the UK.
You may decide to send us your personal information via this website if you are seeking more information, requesting a demonstration or trial of one of our services, or for other similar business administration or support purposes. Your decision to disclose your personal data is entirely voluntary, and by doing so, you are providing us with specific consent to use your personal data only in relation to the specific purposes for which you have disclosed it to us. Simplelists may access and use your Customer Data only for the purposes for which you have submitted it to us to (a) provide information to you, (b) contact you, (c) provide services to you, or (d) maintain the operations and security of the website and services we provide to you. We will not use your personal information for any other purposes, for example the communication of marketing material, unless we have your specific consent to do so. We will always handle and store your personal data in accordance with industry best practice aligned with ISO27001, the international standard for information security. This includes the activities and procedures undertaken by our own personnel and any third parties (see "Declaration of Sub-Processing" section below), and the technical controls which we have implemented to prevent the unauthorised access, compromise or theft of information from our applications, supporting computer systems and premises.
We do not sell, loan, lease, give away, share or in any other way make your personal information or your Simplelists list address, or your list members details and email addresses, available to parties other than Simplelists.com, except to comply with law or legal processes. The people who have permission to send messages to your list is controlled entirely by you, in accordance with your list settings.
We will not monitor or disclose the contents of your email list, except when required to by law, or when required to do so in the course of system maintenance, or when requested by the Customer. We do store email messages coming through our servers, but only for the purpose of displaying the messages in the Archives feature, or for debugging in the event of a problem. Access to messages that have been stored is only available to system administrators in the course of their duty, or through Archives pages (should they be enabled for your list). If you wish your messages to never be recorded, please contact Support, although in any case we will keep a message should there be a problem with the forwarding address, and attempt delivery for a maximum of 5 days, after which time the message will be returned to the list owner.
