International transfers
Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA)
so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the
EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar
degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following
safeguards is implemented:
We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide
an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For
further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data
in non-EU countries.
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the
European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of
personal data to third countries.
Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part
of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal
data shared between the Europe and the US. For further details, see European
Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by
us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from
being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.
In addition, 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 on our 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.
Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
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.
Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in
our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting us. In some
circumstances you can ask us to delete your data.
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.

Your legal rights
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a data subject access
request ). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you
and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to
have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may
need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove
personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also
have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have
successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may
have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your
personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be
able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be
notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
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. You also have the right to object
where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some
cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process
your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to
suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you
want us to establish the datas accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but
you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no
longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you
have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding
legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to
you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly
used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated
information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the
information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your
personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried
out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be
able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the
case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the
other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly
unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your
request in these circumstances.
