Website Privacy Policy
Data protection
This privacy policy relates to your use of our website only. HIGH5 is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and to acting in compliance with GDPR regulations. Our lawful basis for processing the data is consent.
Simply visiting HIGH5 website does not require you to reveal personal data. But if you ask us for information, order products or services, register with us, use our services or report a problem, we collect any personal data you submit to us, and details of the transactions between you and us. In addition, we store information you may give us about your interests, or we may learn about these from your use of our goods and services.
This policy will explain how we collect, use and process the data that you give us.
We adopt a layered approach to privacy and data protection of which this privacy policy is one aspect. We also have fair collection notices at various points on our website and other operational systems where data is collected. These fair collection notices appear as pop-ups or as forms for completion at the relevant points where data is collected.
Whenever you give us personal data via our website, you are consenting to its collection and use in accordance with this privacy policy and any fair collection notice which is notified to you at the time of giving us such data.
We do not collect any sensitive or special category data (such as gender, racial or ethnic origins) from our users. If you are invited to participate in the scientific research experiments that would ask you to provide sensitive data, you will always be asked to provide additional consent for it.
Our services
We hold the data necessary to offer services provided on our website. We do not ask for or use more data than necessary to provide you with a proper service. This means we process and hold data related to free resource requests, purchases, subsequent support related to those purchases and completion and use of our products. This is in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Any processing of your data is only done to provide or perform the services or products you have requested and purchased.

Marketing
We will use your personal data to send you updates (by email, text message, telephone or post) about our services.
We have a legitimate interest in using your personal data for marketing purposes (see above ‘How and why we use your personal data’). This means we do not need your consent to send you marketing information. If we change our marketing approach in the future so that consent is needed, we will ask for this separately and clearly.
You have the right to opt-out of receiving marketing communications at any time by using the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails.
We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you ask us to provide further services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.
We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect and never sell it with other organisations outside the group for marketing purposes.
We may send emails to existing customers or prospective customers who have enquired or registered with us, regarding products or services directly provided by us.
We never sell, rent or exchange mailing lists.
Who we share your personal data with
We routinely share personal data with:
- Third parties we use to help deliver our services to you, e.g. payment service providers;
- Other third parties we use to help us run our business, e.g. marketing agencies or website hosts and website analytics providers;
- Our bank.
We only allow those organisations to handle your personal data if they are GDPR compliant and if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal data.
We or the third parties mentioned above occasionally also share personal data with:
- Our and their professional advisors (such as lawyers and other advisors), in which case the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations;
- Law enforcement agencies, courts, tribunals and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
- Other parties that have or may acquire control or ownership of our business (and our or their professional advisers) in connection with a significant corporate transaction or restructuring, including a merger, acquisition, asset sale, initial public offering or in the event of our insolvency—usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible. The recipient of any of your personal data will be bound by confidentiality obligations.
How long your personal data will be kept
We will not keep your personal data for longer than we need it for the purpose for which it is used or until you delete your account from our system.

We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine need to access it. We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
Sourcing B2B prospect data
We acquire business contact information from our third-party partners for the purposes of sending marketing communications to individuals who we believe may be interested in our products or services. These third-party partners provide information on buyer intent, which is collected from publicly available data sources. We rely on Legitimate Interests as our legal basis for processing this data.
