To ensure this protection, UnionPPC Agency LLP. commits to only collect, process, and share information that can identify an individual when the individual has consented, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be necessary.
The purpose of this Policy is to inform users of the reasons and how UnionPPC Agency LLP., or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is designed to be in plain language to ensure informed consent from users.
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means any information about an identifiable person or that can identify a person. Whenever possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize, and/or aggregate this information so that it no longer identifies a person.

- Means of Obtaining Consent
We are committed to obtaining consent before collecting an individual’s personal information. Consent may be explicit or implied and can be provided directly by the individual or by their authorized representative.
We prefer to obtain explicit consent, whether verbally, electronically, or in writing. However, implied consent may be reasonably inferred from a person’s action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication or providing a name and phone number to get a response to a question is considered implied consent to the collection of information containing personal information. To determine the appropriate type of consent, we take into account the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is being collected, and the reasonable expectations of a person in a similar situation.
If we want to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and seek consent again.
It is not always possible, especially in the case of a government request, to obtain a person’s consent to collect, use, or disclose their personal information. We commit to never disclosing this type of information except as required or allowed by law and in accordance with this Policy.

However, it is important to note that absolute safeguarding of this information is impossible due to the inherent security limitations associated with transmission over the Internet. Therefore, any information transmitted to us is ultimately at the user’s own risk.
- Access and Control of Personal Information Terms
UnionPPC Agency LLP. ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current, and complete as necessary for the purposes for which it is used.
You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification and to request correction if it is inaccurate. If you believe your personal information is inaccurate or if you wish to access your personal information, you can make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.
To the best of our ability, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security purposes, we may need to verify your identity.
Furthermore, there may be circumstances where we cannot provide you with access to your personal information. This may include situations where access could lead to the disclosure of another person’s personal information, and that person refuses to consent to the disclosure, or where legal restrictions apply. If such a situation arises, we will inform you of the reason why we cannot provide you with access to your personal information.
If your request pertains to data appearing on third-party websites or platforms, please contact those third parties directly.
- Sharing and Reasons for Sharing Personal Information with Third Parties
We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of UnionPPC Agency LLP., except for our authorized suppliers and partners who need access to the information for the purposes listed in this policy and within its limits, as well as in the following cases:
● With your consent.
● For storage in cloud servers, in which case personal information may transit through third-party jurisdictions. Note that we only engage with reputable companies with privacy policies.
● For external processing needs: We may transmit personal information to other trusted companies or individuals who process it on our behalf, following our instructions, in accordance with this privacy policy, with a level of data security at least equivalent to ours, and in compliance with any other appropriate security and confidentiality measures.
In particular, we use third-party providers to pool, clean, and analyze data in the digital marketing sector so that they can leverage this data and develop tools. To do so, these providers process the information provided as follows:
The data is first prepared and categorized for use.
From the prepared data, the provider creates aggregate statistics that contain general and non-personal information, sometimes combined with data from similar sources. These aggregated data are then used to generate overall statistics such as origin analysis (mainly via postal codes), seasonality analysis, or pricing analysis (e.g., shopping cart type).
These data are then enriched using two different processes. The first is enrichment through the use of openly available third-party data, such as socio-demographic data provided by the Census Bureau via postal codes. The second process is called inference-based enrichment.
● For legal reasons: We may disclose personal information outside of our company if access to it is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
UnionPPC Agency LLP. is committed to not selling or renting your personal information to a third party.
