BUSINESS CONTACTS

Collection of personal data

The Döhle Group processes personal data about contacts (potential and existing clients, professional advisors, service providers and intermediaries) using a customer relationship management system (“Döhle CRM”).

The personal data collected about contacts by us will include name, employer name, contact title, phone, email and other business contact details.

Use of personal data

We may process personal data in order to run our business, including:

  • managing our relationship with contacts;
  • developing our businesses and services (such as identifying client needs and improvements in service delivery and learning more about a client, relationship opportunity we have an interest in); and
  • analysing and evaluating the strength of interactions between us and a contact.  The Döhle CRM uses an algorithm to help with this analysis and the ranking is primarily based on interaction frequency, duration and response times.
