Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy sets out the data-processing practices carried out through the use of the Internet and any other electronic communications networks by Oak Technology Ltd. If you have any requests concerning your personal information or any queries with regard to these practices, please contact us using the details at the bottom of this policy (Section 10 – Contacting Us). Please note that all data thus captured will be used and held in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018 and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Section 1 – Information Collected
Oak Technology Ltd respects the privacy of its customers and visitors. If you have any questions about the operation of this web based application (Evolution FMS), please write to support@oaktechnology.co.uk.
Evolution FMS does not collect any personal information about you but does contain personal information within the account and user accounts which are essential for the software to function. This data is not shared, traded, or sold to third parties. Evolution FMS collects non-personal data through the use of server-based “session variables,” which we use to achieve important site functionality, including the recognition of logged-in users.
In order to identify users Evolution FMS also uses a single “cookie” (a small file stored by your browser on your hard drive); thus, require a browser that accepts “cookies.”. Evolution FMS servers will record IP addresses from all visitors to our site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our site, to analyse trends, to track user movement, and to gather broad demographic information—all for the purpose of continually improving our website and delivering personalized, custom content. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information, and their collection is standard procedure in most web-server environments.
Evolution FMS contains links to other websites. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are entering another website, for which Oak Technology is not responsible. By using this web application, you signify your agreement to our privacy policy as stated above. Note that this policy may be revised periodically without notice. Please re-read this policy prior to submitting any personal information if you have concerns about how your information is being collected and used.

Section 4 – Google User Data – Cloud Storage Integration (Google Drive) and Calendar Integration (Google Calendar)
Oak Technology Ltd complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Evolution FMS may access Google user data only after obtaining explicit user consent during the integration of Google Calendar and Google Drive services. The data retrieved via Google APIs is used solely to provide and improve Evolution FMS functionality, and is not transferred, sold, or used for advertising purposes.
Data Security and Protection Mechanisms:
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Google user data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include but are not limited to:
Data Retention and Deletion Policy:
We retain Google user data only for as long as it is necessary to provide the integrated functionality of Evolution FMS or as required by applicable law. If a user revokes permissions, disconnects their Google account, or deletes their Evolution FMS account, all Google user data and tokens associated with that user are permanently deleted from our servers within 30 days.
Users may also request immediate deletion of their data by contacting us using the details provided in Section 11 – Contacting Us.

If you access other sites using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you that will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy, which may differ from ours.
Section 7 – Subject Access Requests
You have the right to see what personal data we hold about you. To obtain a copy of the personal information we hold about you, please write to The Data Controller, Oak Technology Ltd, Oak House, 6 Wakefield Road, Fitzwilliam, Pontefract, WF9 5AP. We are entitled to charge a fee for dealing with a subject access request – at present the maximum fee is £10.00.
Section 8 – Internet-Based Transfers
Given that the Internet is a global environment, using it to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. This means, for instance, that data you pass to us may be processed outside the European Economic Area, although the data will always be held securely and in line with the requirements of UK data protection legislation. By communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to our processing of personal data in this way.
