The legal basis we rely on to process personal information
In order to comply with data protection legislati0on, we need to keep a register of the full range of personal information that we hold and on this register we also must state the legal basis which allows us to hold this information. The law on information protection sets out a number of different bases on which an organisation may collect and process your personal information, including:

The processing is necessary to meet contractual obligations into which you have entered as a customer, supplier or worker.
Legal Obligation
If the law require us to, we may need to collect and process your information. We also need to pass your information onto a third party if required by law.
Legitimate interest
In specific situations, we require your information to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and delivering our services.

Within MMK Express Limited, access is only available to those who need this information in order to provide a service to you or to fulfil the contract that we have with you. Access may be required by departments such as IT and Finance, as well as those involved in the direct delivery of services to you.
Third Party Providers/Partners that we work in association with
We work closely with various third party providers Creditsafe, Sage. This is necessary to ensure that we have a range of quality and reliable services designed to meet the needs of our customers. The relevant third party provider will use your details to provide MMK Express Limited with information and carry out both our and their obligations to you when using our services.

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf
We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purpose of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf. However when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond MMK Express Limited, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

We will only keep your information for as long as we need to or as long as we are legally required to. We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations.
