Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

5. Disclosures of Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with the following parties:

•       Service providers acting as processors who provide IT and system administration services.

•       Third-party analytics providers who help us understand how our website is used.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6. International Transfers

Some of our external third-party service providers are based outside of your country, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside your jurisdiction.

Whenever we transfer your personal data internationally, we take steps to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it, consistent with applicable data protection laws.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanisms used by us when transferring your personal data internationally.

7. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those persons who have a business need to know.

We have put in place procedures 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.

8. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, 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, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see "Your Legal Rights" below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymize your personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

9. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:

•       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 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.

•       Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.

•       Request restriction of processing of your personal data in certain scenarios, such as where you want us to establish the data's accuracy or where our use of the data is unlawful.

•       Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

•       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.

No Fee Usually Required

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.

Time Limit to Respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
