DATA SHARING

We share your data with third parties, including affiliates and third-party service providers, in or outside the EU to comply with our legal or contractual requirements or to pursue our legitimate interests in connection with business relationship. If such a recipient is located outside of the European Union and the European Economic Area (“EEA”) in a country that is not recognised by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate level of data protection, we will implement appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information remains protected and secure when it is transferred outside of your home country, in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. These measures include data transfer agreements implementing European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (a form of data transfer agreement pre-approved by the European Commission as providing adequate safeguards for personal information).

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, as more fully set out in our Data retention policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Broadly, most of your information is kept for the duration of our working relationship with you. In certain circumstances we anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we will use such information without further notice to you.

RIGHTS OF ACCESS, CORRECTION, ERASURE, AND RESTRICTION

[Your duty to inform us of changes]

  • Request the object to that processing (especially if we use your information for direct marketing, you can “opt out” at any time)
