The above table does not apply to special category personal information.

 

We would never ask you to provide any special category personal information. However, as part of the function of the Mooqi app, users will be encouraged to enter their current moods against a pre-defined set of values which do not contain special category personal information but users will be able to add notes to these submissions, which may or may not contain information pertaining to the special category personal information. Anonymous reports of these mood factors will be viewable by team managers and administrators of the Mooqi app. No user will have access to view individual’s moods.

 

We will only process special category personal information with your explicit consent

 

Promotional communications

 

Vibrant Talent Development will not issue direct marketing to users of the app save for regular announcements displayed on the announcement panel on the Mooqi app.

 

There may be maintenance updates about the status of the Mooqi app, insights we think you might be interested in or feedback we would like to request from you about your experience of using the service and what we could do to make it better for you. Communication such as this may be sent by way of notification, or displayed on the announcement panel on the Mooqi app.

 

We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal information for promotional purposes (see above ‘How and why we use your personal information’). This means we do not usually need your consent to send you promotional communications. However, where consent is needed, we will ask for this consent separately and clearly.

 

We will always treat your personal information with the utmost respect and never share it with other organisations for marketing purposes.

 

You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time by contacting us at info@vibranttalent.co.uk.

 

We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you instruct us to provide further products and/or services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.
