Privacy Policy

Who are we?

We are the PlanetK2 Group, comprising of the following brands:  PlanetK2, The Performance Room (TPR) and BelievePerform.

The ICO Registration Number for K2 Performance Systems is ZB411760, and BelievePerform is ZB411763.

Our Data Protection Lead can be reached by emailing gdpr@planetK2.com

PlanetK2 Group plays a dual role when it comes to processing.  In some situations, we act as Controller, in others, we are the Processor.  In circumstances where we are just a Processor of personal data, we are doing so purely on the instruction of another company, our client, who is likely to be your employer or your educational establishment. If you have questions about the way we process your data in these circumstances, you should contact them directly.

We are a Controller of the data for potential and existing employees, clients, suppliers, and website users.

Being a Controller means that we are trusted to look after and deal with your personal information in accordance with data protection laws.  We determine the ways and means of processing your data and must therefore be accountable for it.

This privacy notice refers to the data we process as Controller only.

Technical and operational security

All data is password protected, access controlled, backed up securely and encrypted when appropriate.

All employees are trained in data protection and are aware of their obligations to ensure the privacy of all data subjects.

Data Privacy by Design and Default is an integral part of our development processes.

Your rights

As a data subject, you have a number of rights over your personal data under the Data Protection Laws.  If you wish to exercise any of your rights, please contact us at gdpr@planetK2.com.

  • Right of access: You can request access to a copy of the personal data which we hold about you as well as details about why and how we use;
  • Right to rectification: You can ask us to change or complete any personal data we hold about you which is inaccurate or incomplete;
  • Right to be forgotten/erasure: You have a right, under certain circumstances, to ask us to delete any personal data we hold on you.  Please note that there may be situations where we must retain your personal data after a request for erasure where we have a lawful basis for doing so.
  • Right of restriction: You can ask us to restrict (ie: prevent) the processing of your personal data where you have objected to our use of it and we have no lawful basis to continue processing your personal data.
  • Right to data portability: In certain circumstances, you can ask us to transfer the data we hold about you to another.  This would be sent in a structured, commonly used, electronic form;
  • Right to object: You can object to us using your personal data for particular purposes; and
  • Automated decision making: You have a right not to be subjected to automated decision making and profiling in certain circumstances.

If you want to exercise any of these rights, please just contact us at gdpr@planetK2.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing with a supervisory authority – in the UK that is the ICO whose details are here https://ico.org.uk

Automated decision making

We do not use your personal data in any automated processes to make decisions about you.

‍Data sharing and transfers

Like most companies, we use a number of other companies as part of our data processing, for example, cloud services and technology services. We have Data Processing Agreements in place with these providers. Where data is transferred outside of the UK and EEA, we ensure that appropriate protection and mechanisms are in place, for example, Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK’s International Data Transfer Addendum. We do not sell your data to anybody, and we do not share it with anyone other than our contracted processors.

What happens if PlanetK2 Group changes hands?

We may, from time to time, expand or reduce our business and this may involve the sale and/or transfer of control of all or part of our business.  Any personal data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, depending on the lawful basis, be permitted to use that data only for the same purposes for which it was originally collected by us.

In the event any of your data is to be transferred in such a manner, you will be contacted in advance and informed of the changes.

Potential Corporate Client Privacy Notice

Data that we hold and how we use it

As a potential corporate client of PlanetK2 we hold your name, job title and corporate contact details so we can build a relationship with you. This data will have been sourced directly.

If your data was not sourced directly from you, then we contact you once we have the data to let you know that we have your data and give you the chance to opt-out. Our legitimate interest balancing test indicates that this is a legitimate purpose: you would not be surprised to hear from us based on the nature of your job role, and our processing does not cause any harm or risk to you as a data subject.
