Privacy policy

This privacy policy notice sets out how, why and when Mixd uses, stores, protects and manages any information you provide to us. As part of our commitment to protecting your Personal Information, we have an appointed Data Protection Officer (DPO) who’s responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy policy. If you do have any queries or would like to make a request to exercise your legal rights, please contact the Data Protection Officer via the contact details provided below.

If you’re an employee, you’ll be given access to an employee privacy policy relating to you and your employment – this policy doesn’t relate to you.


Who we are:

“Mixd” or “We” or “Us” or “Our” is a reference to the business operating as a partnership between Philip Shackleton and Michael Danford whose principal office address is: Platform, New Station Street, Leeds LS1 4JB United Kingdom, and whose VAT registration number is GB847265011.

We make sure you cannot be directly identified by Google Analytics data. We do this by using Google Analytics’ IP address anonymisation feature and by removing any other personal data from the titles or URLs of the pages you visit. We will not combine analytics information with other data sets in a way that would directly identify who you are.

Why we need your data:

We collect your personal data in order to:

We use the information we collect through Google Analytics to see how you use Mixd.co.uk and to see how well the site performs on your device.

We do this to help:

Legal basis for processing data:

The legal basis for processing data collected with Google Analytics on Mixd.co.uk is your consent.

The legal basis for processing data collected if you apply for a job at Mixd is your consent.

The legal basis for processing all other personal data is that it’s necessary:

What we do with your data:

The data we collect may be shared with our technology suppliers, for example our hosting provider. We will share your data if we are required to do so by law – for example, by court order, or to prevent fraud or other crime. The data we collect with Google Analytics cookies is transferred and stored with Google where we analyse it with Google Analytics software (Universal Analytics). We do not allow Google to use or share this data for their own purposes.

We will not:

How long we keep your data:

We store personal data for as long as we find it necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the personal data was collected, while also considering our need to answer your queries or resolve possible problems, to comply with legal requirements under applicable laws, to attend to any legal claims/complaints, and for safeguarding purposes. This means that we may retain your personal data for a reasonable period of time after your last interaction with us. When the personal data that we have collected is no longer required, we will delete it in a secure manner. We may process data for statistical purposes, but in such cases, data will be anonymised.

Children’s privacy protection:

Our services are not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children 13 years of age or younger. We do not intentionally collect or maintain data about anyone under the age of 13.

Where your data is processed:

We design, build and run our systems to make sure that your data is as safe as possible at all stages, both while it’s processed and when it’s stored. Many of our external third parties are based outside the UK or EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK or EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK or EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

For example, we use a hosting provider called WPEngine Inc who are based in the United States. We have agreed Data Processing Agreement contract with WPEngine Inc, which we have negotiated to make sure it reflects the needs of our customers, you can view their DPA on their website or you can request extracts from our contract with them where you are legally entitled if that applies to your personal data.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK or EEA.

How we protect your data:

We are committed to doing all that we can to keep your data secure. We have set up systems and processes to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure of your data – for example, we protect your data using varying levels of encryption. We also make sure that any third parties that we deal with keep all personal data they process on our behalf secure.

We are ISO27001 certified and have robust and secure procedures for the handling of personal information. Our certification means we have achieved the international standard for managing risks to the security of information we hold. This includes data we process for clients, marketing material to support our objectives, and personal information fulfil our contractual obligations. Our ISO27001 certification demonstrates Mixd’s commitment to information security (including the transfer of data), and to the responsible use of data and data retention.
