What Information Abzehk Collects And How It Is Used
Abzehk collects information about users either when users provide it themselves, when users have an open account with Abzehk or when Abzehk feels there is a legitimate business interest between the two companies. The information is used to enable Abzehk to run its business and manage the relationship between the user and Abzehk as effectively as possible.
Account Information
Client contact information is used to send transactional communication via email. This includes confirming purchases made, arranging delivery of orders placed, providing customer support, responding to quote requests and product queries. Provided phone numbers are used for this purpose as well.
Abzehk retains account information for as long as the business relationship is active. After a reasonable period of inactivity, Abzehk will delete all personal identifiable information on the account. If not possible, for example in the event of details of an account relating to that of a sole-trader which could reveal personal information, Abzehk would instead anonymise the data.
Website Analytics
Abzehk collects information about the user’s computer, phone, tablet, or other devices used to access Abzehk’s platform. Abzehk also collect information through the user’s device about the operating system, browser type, IP address, URLs of referring/exit pages and other device identifiers. Abzehk uses this data to analyse how people are using the platform and to offer a better service dependant on the device that is being used.
Security & Functionality
Abzehk uses cookies on its platform. Cookies are used for functionality purposes only and, unless stated otherwise, are not used for targeting purposes. It is possible to opt-out of cookies by instructing the web browser to do so (please note, however, that some website features on the platform may not be available or functioning properly). When logging into Abzehk the user’s IP address is monitored to avoid suspicious activity.
Marketing
Abzehk uses provided contact information to market products which it believes may be of interest to its customers. Abzehk will retain the information regarding user preferences for a period of two years. If Abzehk does not hear from the user over a period of 2 years, the user’s related data will be removed from Abzehk’s marketing lists. In the meantime, users can control whether they want to stop receiving these communications by clicking the unsubscribe button at the bottom of any of these emails or simply by emailing unsubscribe@Abzehk.com.
Supplementary Data
Abzehk may obtain supplementary data from other publicly available data sources. Examples include linking a LinkedIn profile against the user account, obtaining company information from Chambers of Commerce and/or undertaking a credit check for due diligence. Abzehk uses this information to enrich its own data, to analyze the accuracy of its own data and to ensure Abzehk is offering relevant products to its customers.
Careers And Job Applications
Abzehk will use the data from provided CV’s, cover letters and other data sources to make decisions regarding job applications.
How Abzehk Shares Collected Information
Abzehk does not sell user data to other providers. However, Abzehk does utilise various cloud-based systems which means the storage of user data is not always hosted at Abzehk’s main office. Third party checks are in place to ensure data is stored in a GDPR compliant way.
How Abzehk Stores Collected Information
Abzehk uses data hosting providers in the EEA to host the information it collects. All third-party providers are carefully considered and assurances provided that user data remains secure, including verification of widely accepted standards and regulations (for example, ISO27001).
Abzehk enforces strict internal security measures to ensure only the required individuals have access to user data. Combining this with strict password, dual factor authentication and geo-restricted access policies ensures Abzehk keeps user data as secure as possible.
How Users Can Control Their Information
The user data Abzehk collects is the user’s own property. Users have a number of rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and The Data Protection Act (DPA). Users have the right to request Abzehk for access to and rectification or erasure of their personal data and the right to restrict processing or object to processing of their data.
Request Abzehk To Stop Using Information
In some cases, users may ask Abzehk to stop accessing, storing, using and otherwise processing their information where the users believes Abzehk does not have the appropriate rights to do so. For example, if the user believes Abzehk has gained personal information about the user which the user has not given consent towards, that user can request Abzehk deletes this information.
Opt-Out Of Communications
Users may opt out of receiving marketing material from Abzehk by using the unsubscribe link within each email or by contacting us at unsubscribe@Abzehk.com. Once the user does this, they will no-longer receive any product offers from Abzehk. Even after opting out of marketing emails, the user will still receive transactional emails related to any orders they may have placed.

It is possible to opt-out of cookies by instructing the web browser to do so (please note, however, that some website features on the platform may not be available or functioning properly).
