Third-Party Data Processing

In the digital age, the utilisation of third-party service providers has become a pivotal aspect of enhancing operational efficiency and delivering superior user experiences.

At Economics By Design, we engage with a selected group of third-party service providers for various purposes, including but not limited to, data analytics, email marketing, web hosting, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems.

These entities are meticulously chosen based on their adherence to stringent data protection standards that align with our privacy values and compliance requirements.

We ensure each third-party processor is bound by contractual agreements that enforce the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the personal data they process on our behalf. These agreements stipulate strict data handling and security measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your personal information.

Additionally, we regularly audit our third-party processors to verify their compliance with our data protection policies and the relevant data protection legislation.

This rigorous approach ensures your personal data remains secure and is used solely for the purposes it was originally collected for, in alignment with this privacy policy. We continuously monitor our third-party processors and will promptly address any non-compliance issues that may arise.

We value your trust and strive to maintain the highest level of data protection standards for your peace of mind. If you have any questions or concerns about our third-party data processing, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for choosing Economics By Design.
