What is this privacy policy for?


This privacy policy is for www.bowmanpower.com and served by Bowman Power Group Ltd. It governs the privacy of any users who choose to use the website.
The policy sets out the different areas where user privacy is concerned and outlines the obligations and requirements of the users, the website and website owners. Furthermore, the way this website processes, stores and protects user data and information are also detailed within this policy.


GDPR Compliance


Bowman Power Group Ltd (Bowman) is fully compliant with EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and is committed to EU data protection requirements (applicable to us as a data processor). We recognise the need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information (personal information) you share with us. Meaning, we don’t collect and process users’ personal information beyond what is legally required for the functioning of our products and services.
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address, an email address or other contact information; whether at work or at home. This also includes CV data submitted in relation to job applications.
In general, you can visit our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.
All of our employees have undergone data protection training and signed documentation to confirm they have read and understand our company GDPR guidelines. This includes the following data protection principles:

  • Process personal data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
  • Collect personal data only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes
  • Process personal data only where it is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes of processing
  • Keep accurate personal data and take all reasonable steps to ensure that inaccurate personal data is rectified or deleted without delay
  • Keep personal data only for the period necessary for processing
  • Adopt appropriate measures to make sure that personal data is secure, and protected against unauthorised or unlawful processing, and accidental loss, destruction or damage.

We strive to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, we intend to adhere to the principles set forth in this online privacy policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your personal information from your country to countries that may not require an ‘adequate’ level of protection for your personal information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your personal Information no matter where that personal information is collected, transferred or retained.
We will retain your personal information only for as long as we need it, given the purposes for which it was collected, or as required to do so by law.


Data Subject Rights


GDPR compliance requires data subjects be granted certain rights. What follows is not an exhaustive list, but those rights that are relevant to the collection, processing, and storage of personal data on www.bowmanpower.com.


Security of Personal Information


We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction.
– Only authorised persons are provided access to personally identifiable information we have collected, and such individuals have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of this information.
– Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your personal data, the transmission of data over the internet (including by e-mail) is never completely secure.
– We endeavour to protect personal data, but we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to or by us.


Right to Access


Data subjects reserve the right to request and obtain confirmation that data is or is not being collected on them and if so, exactly what data is being collected, how, where, and for what purposes. This data can be manually requested via webenquiries@bowmanpower.co.uk and provided in an electronic format free of charge.


Right to Be Forgotten


Should data subjects at anytime wish to withdraw their consent and no longer allow Bowman to store their personal data, this request can be manually made via webenquiries@bowmanpower.co.uk. Please be sure to include the full name (including any prefixes) and email address of whom the data is in reference too, so that all data relating to the data subject in question can be accurately removed.


Data Portability


Similar to the Right to Access, Data Portability requires that data subjects are able to request, obtain, and/or transfer possession of collected data at any time. As mentioned above, this data can be manually requested via webenquiries@bowmanpower.co.uk, and provided in an electronic format free of charge. Should the data subject wish to transfer the possession of the data stored by Bowman, please be sure to also include the full name (including any prefixes) and the relevant contact information relating to the individual or organisation whom you wish the data to be transferred to.


Breach Notification


Should Bowman encounter a breach/unauthorised access of personal data that is likely to “result in a risk for the rights and freedoms of individuals”, Bowman will ensure that a notification is made within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.
