4. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION


We will only process your personal information where we have a legal basis to do so. The legal basis will depend on the purposes for which we have collected and use your personal information. In almost every case the legal basis will be one of the following: 


  • Consent: Where you have given us consent to process your personal information. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Our legitimate business interests: Where it is necessary for us to understand our customers, promote our services and operate effectively, provided in each case that this is done in a legitimate way which does not unduly affect your privacy and other rights. 
  • Compliance with law: Where we are subject to a legal obligation and need to use your personal information in order to comply with that obligation.


5. WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION


The personal information that we collect may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA or the UK, including countries, which have less strict, or no data protection laws, when compared to those in the EEA or the UK. 


Whenever we transfer your information as described in the paragraph above, we will take steps which are reasonably necessary to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information and to make sure it is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy notice. In these cases, we rely on approved data transfer mechanisms (such as standard contractual clauses) to ensure your information is subject to adequate safeguards in the recipient country. If you are located in the UK or the EEA, you may contact us for a copy of the safeguards which we have put in place to protect your personal information and privacy rights in these circumstances. 


6. HOW WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION


We take steps to ensure that the personal information that you provide is retained for only as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. After this period it will be deleted or in some cases anonymised. We may also keep a record of correspondence with you (for example if you have made a complaint) for as long as is necessary to protect us from a legal claim. 


Where we have collected the personal information based on your consent and we have no other lawful basis to continue with that processing, if you subsequently withdraw your consent then we will delete your personal information.


7. CHILDREN


Our website is not intended for, and should not be used by, children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18.


8. SECURITY 


Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted during your use of our website.


9. DISCLOSING YOUR INFORMATION


We may share your personal information with our suppliers, business partners and service providers, where they are helping us to provide our services. 


We may disclose your personal information to other third parties in the following cases:

  • for the purposes of research, evaluation, and analysis;
  • in the event that we sell any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal information to the prospective buyer of such business or assets
  • if we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal information held by us about our customers and visitors to our websites will be one of the transferred assets;
  • if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation or request; or
  • to protect the rights, property or safety of us or our users, or others, and in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions (this includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction).

You have certain rights in relation to your personal information. These include: the right to object to the processing of your information for certain purposes, the right to access your personal information, and the ability to erase, restrict or receive a machine-readable copy of your personal information.

You may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority if you think we have processed your personal information in a manner which is unlawful or breaches your rights.
