7.Sharing your personal data in other countries

Your personal data may be transferred, stored and accessed within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or transferred to, stored in, and accessed from countries outside the EEA in order to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. For transfers to countries outside the EEA, the data protection regime may be different than in the country in which you are located and will therefore be based on a legally adequate transfer method. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is given to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented.

Where the country has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.
We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
Where service providers are based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield. In this regard, we use the services of Mailchimp, located in the United States, which is currently certified under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.

8.The length of time we retain your personal data

We retain your personal data for as long as is required to provide the services requested by you and any subsequent legal or accounting requirements. If you cease receiving a service we will retain your personal data for a total of 12 months for legal and accounting reasons. After this period we will either automatically delete the personal data completely or anonymise your personal data so it no longer personally identifies you.

It is sometimes necessary for us to keep your personal data for longer periods of time, for example:

If there is a statutory requirement to retain it.
If we require the information for legal reasons or there is a legitimate business need for us to retain it.

To ensure we do not contact you if you have asked us not to.

9. Data security

We are committed to maintaining the security of your personal data which we process. We maintain appropriate physical, procedural, organisational and technical security measures intended to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, or modification of personal data under our control. However, you recognise that no entity can keep personal data 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that any of your personal data is no longer secure, please notify us immediately using the contact information supplied below.

10. Third party websites

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for the terms of use, privacy, content or other practices of any third-party website, including any third party website to which a link is provided on our website. The inclusion of such a link on our website does not imply any endorsement of the linked website by us.

11. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, by law you may have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate personal data we hold about you corrected.
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. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your personal data unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. 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.

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. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your personal data which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the personal data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the personal data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your personal data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. This enables you to ask us to provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the personal data to perform a contract with you.
Right to withdraw consent: In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the processing of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us in writing using the details set out in the Contact Us section 15 below. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your personal data for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

12. Exercising your rights

To exercise one or more of your rights in respect of your personal data, please contact us in writing using the contact details below. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other personal data legal rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

13. Contacting the data protection supervisory authority

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the relevant data protection supervisory authority. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you contact the relevant supervisory authority so please contact us in the first instance.

14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

Where a change is made to this Privacy Policy it will be set out on our website(s) which link to this policy to ensure that you are aware of what personal data we collect and how we will use it. If we plan to use your personal data in a way that is inconsistent from that stated in this Privacy Policy we will inform you by email in advance, and it will be your decision as to whether or not you are happy that we continue store and process your personal data. This version of the Privacy Policy was last updated on 13^th January 2022.
