Legal Basis for using Personal Data:
Proweb will only process Personal Data where we have a legal basis to do so. The legal basis will depend upon the reason we collected and the needs to use the Personal Data. Under UK and EU data protection legislation in almost all cases the legal basis will be because:
Processing of the Personal Data is necessary to perform the contract to fulfil your request for services;

It is in Proweb’s legitimate interests as a provider of cloud services to process the Personal Data to operate and improve the Proweb Cloud Market and associated services;
Proweb processes the Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation;
You have consented to Proweb using the Personal Data for a particular purpose
If processing of your Personal Data is subject to any other laws then the basis of processing your data may be different to that set out above and may in those circumstances be based on your consent in all cases.
The Personal Information We Collect:
Proweb may collect personally identifiable information from members in a variety of ways, including online and offline subscription and order forms, paper or telephone submissions, and other instances where members are invited to volunteer such information. Additionally, contact information may be collected during any correspondence relating to member support, as well as in connection with products and services offered on Proweb sites. We collect your name, business name and type, address, phone number, email address and billing information.

Under no circumstances will we use this information for anything else not described in this privacy notice.
How long will we keep Personal Data:
Proweb will keep your Personal Data only for a long as we need it for the purpose it is being processed for.

We will also keep Personal Data as required to comply with any legal obligation.
We will actively review the Personal Data we hold and delete it securely, or in some cases anonymise it, when there is no legal, business or customer need to retain it.

Whenever members apply for services or sign up for any other product or service through Proweb, we require financial information such as a billing details before we will process that application.
