How Do We Use Your Personal Data?

Under the UK GDPR we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data.

How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Data?

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary, in accordance for which it was first collected. Your personal data will therefore be kept for the following periods:

How And Where Do We Store or Transfer Your Data?

We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries outside the UK. These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the UK GDPR, by transferring it only to countries covered by UK adequacy regulations, or by entering into the ICO’s International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), or the International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, with the entity the data is transferred to.

How Do We Secure Your Data?

The security of your personal data is paramount to us. Where information is stored and/or processed electronically we ensure data is encrypted when stored and whilst in transit. For example we ensure all of our websites used to collect data implement SSL technology, our email system also supports TLS encryption. Access controls are implemented to ensure only those who require the data have access, both on a physical level and electronic level.

Where your personal data is stored by other means, such as paper based information we ensure physical access to the information is restricted.

Please be aware that we can’t be held liable for the loss or interception of personal data provided to us using unencrypted means that is beyond our control.

Do We Share Your Personal Data with Third-Parties?

We may share your personal data with Third-Party companies where required to fulfill our requirements under contract, for example, we may provide Contact details to a third-party contractor working on our behalf to provide a product or service, or to perform an administrative action our behalf such as payment processing.

The data provided will be the minimal required to complete the action required and in accordance with the original intended purpose, we will take steps to ensure your personal data is handled safely, securely and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law.

In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or under the instructions of a government authority.

How To Access Your Personal Data

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it. This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in the How Do You Contact Us? section.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (e.g. if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within 30 days. Normally we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, for example if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request.
