There may be occasions when we transfer your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), for example, when we communicate with you using a cloud based service provider that operates outside the EEA such as Survey Monkey. Such transfers will only take place if one of the following applies: • the country receiving the data is considered by the EU to provide an adequate level of data protection; • the organisation receiving the data is covered by an arrangement recognised by the EU as providing an adequate standard of data protection e.g. transfers to companies that are certified under the EU US Privacy Shield; • the transfer is governed by approved contractual clauses; • the transfer has your consent; • the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps requested by you prior to entering into that contract; or • the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract with another person, which is in your interests.

Retaining your data We will only retain your data for as long as we need it to fulfil our purposes, including any relating to legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. L. Your rights Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to: • Request access to your data (commonly known as a “subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of your data and to check that we are lawfully processing it. • Request correction of your data. This enables you to ask us to correct any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you. • Request erasure of your data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove your 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 data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). • Object to processing of your data where we are relying on our legitimate interests (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. You also have the right to object where we are processing your data for direct marketing purposes. • Request the restriction of processing of your data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your data, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it. • Request the transfer of your data to another party. Depending on the circumstances and the nature of your request it may not be possible for us to do what you have asked, for example, where there is a statutory or contractual requirement for us to process your data and it would not be possible to fulfil our legal obligations if we were to stop. However, where you have consented to the processing for example, where you have asked us to contact you for marketing purposes you can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us at venueenquiries@admin.ox.ac.uk or 01865 276905. In this event, we will stop the processing as soon as we can. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your withdrawal of consent and you may no longer be able to use the site in the same way as you did before.
