Privacy Policy Notice for Website Users

This is the privacy notice for users of the ThirdSpace website and anybody in receipt of ThirdSpace marketing communications.

It describes how ThirdSpace collects and uses personal data in carrying out marketing activities. This is collected primarily from users of the ThirdSpace website (thirdspace.net) and associated services.

ThirdSpace is a provider of business-to-business services, and has a legitimate interest in collecting, holding and processing information in support of its marketing activity. It does not transact with consumers and does not collect personal data about individuals in their private capacity. The personal data it does collect and process is to facilitate conversations between businesses for their mutual benefit and is not used to contact individuals or otherwise processed except insofar as it is relevant and necessary for that purpose.

Information we collect

ThirdSpace collects data to operate effectively and provide the best experiences possible. Some of this is obtained directly (e.g. form submission), whilst other information is recorded by how you interact with our website, using technologies like cookies.

We also obtain information via third-party sources, which vary over time, but include:

Data brokers
Social networks
Partners

You have choices about the data we collect. You have the option to decline. But in doing so, it may not be possible for us to provide you with a service or feature.

The data we collect depends on the context of your interactions and the choices you make, including your privacy settings.

Personal information

You are under no obligation to provide us with any personal data.

You may give ThirdSpace personal information about yourself by filling in forms on the website or via third-party websites (e.g. LinkedIn lead generation forms), or by contacting us / an employee of ThirdSpace by e-mail, telephone or social media. As a provider of business-to-business services, we anticipate that the personal information you provide is about yourself as an employee of another business, and not about you in your private capacity.

It may include:

Your first name
Your last name
Your company name
Telephone number(s)
Physical address(es)
Email address(es)
Employment details (e.g. job role)
Company details (e.g. industry)

Clear GIFs, Pixel Tags and Other Technologies

Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which are embedded invisibly on web pages. We or our service providers may use clear GIFs, in connection with our site to track your activities and compile statistics about usage of our site (e.g. web or social media analytics).

For example, we use Pardot, to deliver our email communications. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies including clear gifs to help us monitor and improve performance.

For profiling, segmentation and targeting

The information you provide may also be used for profiling, segmentation and targeting purposes via our CRM and/or marketing automation platform.

This enables us to personalise your experience and improve business performance – for example, by helping to determine which content you may find most relevant, so that we can direct you to more of this and to less of the information that you find less useful.

Typical uses include dividing our database into sub-groups based on shared characteristics, lead nurturing and triggered communications.

Pardot: including email performance metrics.

To comply with the law

In the event that we need to comply with applicable legal obligations.

How long we keep your information
