Transferring personal data outside the EEA We do not intend to transfer any personal data we hold about you to a country outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). If we do transfer any of your personal data outside the EEA, we will ensure that at least one of the following safeguards is implemented: • the personal data is transferred only to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission; • we have put in place with the transferee specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or • where the transferee is based in the US, the transferee is registered with the Privacy Shield (which requires the transferee to provide similar protection to that required for personal data in Europe). Retention of Data We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for. 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. Your right to access your personal information and your other rights Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data as follows: • to request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”); • to request correction of the personal data that we hold about you; • to 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. 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; • to 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.; • to request restriction of processing your personal data.; • to request transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. 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; or • to 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 by using the contact details set out under ‘Contact Us’ below. 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. If you wish to exercise any of those rights we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. 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.
