affiliated to us. - External Third Partiesmeans:

Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business,
then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
We do not allow our third party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them
to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
International transfers
To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to transfer your personal data outside the UK or the
European Economic Area (EEA) e.g.:
- With your and our service providers located outside the UK or the EEA;
- If you are based outside the UK or the EEA;
- If one of our External Third Partiesis based
outside the UK or the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the
UK or the EEA; - If one of our members of staff needs to access it remotely while they are travelling outside the UK
or the EEA.
These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law. Whenever we transfer your
personal data out of the UK or EEA we will do so on the basis that one of the following conditions applies:
- the country to which we transfer your data has been deemed to provide an adequate level of
protection for personal data by the European Commission or the UK; - the transfer is necessary for the performance of the contract between us (or one of the other
exceptions set out in the UK or EU General Data Protection Regulations); - a similar degree of protection is afforded to it which may include using specific data protection
clauses which have been approved by the European Commission or the ICO; or - you have provided Explicit Consent (meaning consent which requires a very clear and specific
statement (that is, not just action)) to the proposed transfer.
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.
Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for,
including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain
your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of
litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction
Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see your legal
rights below for further information.
In some circumstances we will 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 rights under UK and EU data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
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 in certain
circumstances. 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) as the legal basis for that particular use of your
data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we
have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.
Direct marketing. You also have the absolute right to object any time to the
processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (see OPTING OUT OF
MARKETING ABOVE).
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:
- If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
- Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
- 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. - 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 could refuse to
comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
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.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could 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.
Third-party links
Our website may include links to third party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling
those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third party
websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the
privacy notice/policy of every website you visit.
Changes to the Privacy Notice and your duty to inform us of changes
We keep our privacy notice under regular review.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your
personal data changes during your relationship with us, for example a new address or email address.
Complaints
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for
data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). The EU General Data Protection Regulation also gives you the right to lodge a
complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the European Union (or EEA) State where you work, normally live
or where the alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred.
We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO or other supervisory
authority so please contact us in the first instance.
