Our Policy
What We Do
Exceptional Thinking works on its own behalf and on behalf of various clients, contacting existing and prospective customers using the phone and other channels. As this involves the processing of personally identifiable data, we comply with the GDPR, which came into force on 25th May 2018. We are committed to the secure and compliant handling of all data held and processed by the company.
GDPR Legal Basis for Processing
We use data to carry out direct B2B and B2C marketing and sales and research. The lawful basis we use for this processing is “Legitimate Interest” in accordance with recital 47 of the GDPR.
The ICO recommend that companies using this basis conduct a “Legitimate Interests Assessment” (LIA) and we have done this. Exceptional Thinking complies in full with the TPS and CTPS to prevent unwanted sales and marketing calls and maintains its own company “Do not Call list” in line with Ofcom regulations.

- To further fraud protection and reduce the risk of fraud.
All data is securely stored and processed within the EU.
