About this policy

First Copy is committed to protecting your privacy.

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those concerned with how their data is being collected and stored. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your information in accordance with our website. 

Who is the Data Controller?

What data do we collect?

We may collect your name, business address, business telephone number, business email address, purchase history (including financial details) and communication records. 

First Copy does not market to children under 18 years of age, and nor do we structure any part of our website to attract anybody under that age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.

How do we collect data?

We collect data in the following ways:

• During face-to-face meetings and telephone/video conversations, including on receipt of a business card.

• When you sign a contract with us. This includes machine purchase, service, and finance contracts.

• When you fill in a website form (e.g., subscribing to a newsletter, responding to a survey, filling out a form, adding a comment or using live chat) or otherwise voluntarily enter information on our site.
• When you interact with our marketing channels, e.g. email newsletters, social feeds such as LinkedIn etc.

• Cookies – see below.

Why do we collect data?

We collect data to service your contract with us and update you about new products and services that may interest you.

How do we use your information? 

We may use the information we collect from you in the following ways:

• To record interactions with Current, Prospective and Past Customers and Suppliers.

• To personalise your experience and allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings you are most interested in.

• To keep you up to date with news about First Copy or about our products and services. If you download a gated asset or are in regular contact with us about a product or service, we may add you to our newsletter list under legitimate interest. If you speak to one of our consultants and verbally agree to receive marketing, we may also add you to our newsletter list. You can unsubscribe at any time. Simply submitting an enquiry via a web form does not add you to our email newsletter list unless you check the box asking us to add you. Again, you can unsubscribe at any time.

• To provide the services you have purchased.

• To improve our website to serve you better.

• To ask for ratings and reviews of services or products.

Who do we share data with?

• As a partner of Xerox, we share data to fulfil our contract with you. We may also share data with other trusted partners for the same purpose.

• We share limited amounts of data with bChannels, who work on behalf of Xerox. They may use our data to ensure you are not contacted during external marketing campaigns if you are already a customer.

• Data is shared internally with Management, Employees and Temporary Staff of First Copy.

• If you consent to relevant cookies, your use of the website will be tracked by Google Analytics. This allows us to see which content is of most interest to our website users. We do not use Google Analytics to identify you, only to learn about usage trends.

• If you consent to relevant advertising cookies, you may see advertisements for First Copy elsewhere on the web due to our remarketing activity with Google Ads. We only receive anonymised data from Google about interactions with these advertisements.

• If you consent to relevant advertising cookies and your IP address is recognised as a business, then the name of your business may be available to us through our partnership with HubSpot, who provide us with our CRM. If we feel that our products may be of interest to an organisation identified in this way, then your business may receive a call from us to see whether we could help you.

• If you consent to relevant third-party cookies, then YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn may track your usage of videos and embedded content on the site to optimise and personalise your interaction with their content elsewhere around the web.

This may include (but is not limited to) Xerox, Duplo, vPress, XMPie, Morgana, Selectec, Postworks, Antalis, PaperCut. We would tell you in advance that we planned to do this.

What lawful basis do we use for collecting data?

Data collected about current customers is on a contractual basis.

Data collected about past and prospective customers is on the basis of legitimate interest or consent (sometimes both).

The legitimate interest is the necessary recording of data to enable First Copy to contact you with information about our services. All data is collected in relation to a Business-to-Business interest in document management or production equipment and solutions.  A Legitimate Interest Assessment has been carried out.

The right to object

According to Data Protection Law, you have rights to object to the processing of your personal data:  

• You have a right to access any personal data we hold. Identification checks will be carried out. We will respond to your request within one calendar month.

If for any reason you believe your personal data has been mishandled, you have the right to inform the Information Commissioners Office, with whom we are registered.

Data retention/destruction policy

We only keep personal data as long as is necessary; the timescales vary based on the purpose of the data.  This is regularly reviewed and updated.

How do we protect your information?

• Our website is mainly for providing articles and information. We never ask for credit card numbers.

• Your personal information, where voluntarily supplied, is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and who are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, the information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

• We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

• Databases where personal data is stored are password-protected, allowing access only to authorised personnel.

• All signed contracts, including finance, are kept in secure cabinets.

Cookie consent

Our website uses cookies that help the website function. It also uses cookies that help us understand how visitors navigate our site and which content they are most interested in. Additional third-party cookies are used for lead generation and advertising. However, we will not use non-essential cookies unless consent is given by clicking the ‘Accept’ button on the pop-up banner that appears when you access our website. 

If you are unhappy with any of our cookies, you are free to turn off the cookie types that you don’t want us to use during your visit. Click ‘Accept’ after making your choices and continue your visit without them. You can change your mind about accepting some or all cookies at any time by clicking ‘Manage Consent’ at the bottom of the screen. This recalls the cookie banner and allows you to adjust your settings. When you click ‘Accept’, the page will refresh, and the new settings will apply from that point on.

Cookie notice

Only strictly necessary cookies will load until you click ‘Accept’ on our cookie preferences banner. The necessary cookies are almost exclusively those that remember your cookie preferences – we split our cookies into additional categories, including advertisement, analytics, functional, and performance cookies, all of which can be switched on and off. 

If you accept all cookies (or the relevant categories), a number of additional cookies will load, and a small number of scripts will be triggered that place further cookies on your browser. All the known cookies on our website are listed within our banner, which acts as our cookie notice and consent settings in one. Depending on your browser and wider privacy settings, some cookies will already be blocked regardless of your cookie banner choices.

If functional cookies are not accepted, your browsing experience may be affected. For example, some functional cookies enable the smooth running of videos or prevent constant loops where redirects are in place.

Access our full cookie notice and settings by clicking the ‘Manage Consent’ link above the footer on any page of our website.
