How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

How We Protect Your Data

At Benmac Enterprise Limited, our interaction with personal data is minimal, primarily limited to client communications managed by our CEO. We ensure any personal information received via email is handled with the utmost confidentiality and security. Our approach to data protection involves strict internal protocols to safeguard any personal information from unauthorized access or use. As a measure of ensuring data privacy, our staff typically does not directly interact with personal data, and any necessary data handling is conducted under stringent privacy guidelines.

GDPR and JDPA Compliance

Our privacy practices are aligned with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Jamaica Data Protection Act (JDPA). We are committed to safeguarding your personal data with utmost care and in accordance with all applicable laws. You have the right to access, correct, transfer, and delete your data, as well as the right to restrict and object to certain processing of your data. This includes not being subject to automated decision-making, including profiling, which has legal or other significant effects on you. For any concerns or requests related to your data rights, please contact us directly through our provided contact channels.

What Data Breach Procedures We Have in Place

Although Benmac Enterprise Limited has limited exposure to personal data, we maintain a commitment to data security. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have a response plan that includes immediate investigation, assessment of the breach's impact, and taking appropriate steps to mitigate any potential harm. We will also notify affected parties and relevant authorities if necessary, in compliance with legal obligations and industry best practices.

Benmac Enterprise Limited does not routinely receive personal data from third parties due to the nature of our services. In instances where third-party data interaction is necessary, it would be limited to essential business operations and conducted in full compliance with applicable data protection laws. We ensure that any data received in this manner is treated with the same level of security and confidentiality as data collected directly.

What Automated Decision Making and/or Profiling We Do with User Data

Benmac Enterprise Limited does not engage in automated decision-making processes or profiling activities using user data. Our interactions with client data are manual and purpose-driven, primarily focused on providing our services and responding to client requests. Any decisions involving personal data are made with human oversight, ensuring that all client interactions are personal, thoughtful, and tailored to individual needs and preferences.
