6.    Disclosures to Third Parties

 

At times it may be necessary to share your personal data with contractors or suppliers who provide us with services.

We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We will not share your details with any other third parties unless we have your explicit consent.

 

7.    International Transfers

 

At times we may work with third parties outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and collecting and using your personal information may involve the transfer of this information internationally. By using our products and services you acknowledge and agree to your personal information being transferred in this way, including to jurisdictions outside the EEA.

 

We will take all reasonable steps to implement and maintain strict policies to ensure that all personal data remains protected and secure in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

 

8.    Security

 

We have in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data in accordance with instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

​

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

 

9.    Retention

 

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

 

In some circumstances you can ask us to erase your data: see below for further information.

 

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

 

10.    Your Legal Rights

 

You can find detailed information about your legal rights at https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/

 

In general you have the right in certain circumstances to:

 

●    Request access to your personal data (a “data subject access request”)

●    Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you

●    Request erasure of your personal data

●    Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.

●    Request restriction of processing of your personal data

●    Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.

 

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).

 

If you do seek to exercise your rights we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

 

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
