We will also share your personal data if we are required to so by law.
Data Security
We take appropriate physical, electronic and managerial measures to ensure that we keep your personal data secure, accurate and up to date. 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 procedures in place 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.
Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your personal data, the transmission of information over the internet is never completely secure. We do our best to protect personal data, but we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to our website, so any transmission is at the user’s own risk.
How long do we hold your personal data?
We 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.
Your data protection rights
You have the right to ensure that your personal data is being processed lawfully (“Subject Access Right”). If you do not wish us to use your personal data for the purposes outlined above, you can refuse to opt-in on the relevant box on the online form on which we collect your data. You have a right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, which we will provide within the statutory time frames. To enable us to trace any of your personal data that we may be holding, we may need to request further information from you. In some cases we may make a small charge for processing this request. You can make a complaint or raise a concern about how we process your personal data. In some circumstances, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data or to stop us from continuing to make active use of personal data that we retain in our records. If you have cause for complaint about how we have used your information, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
