How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests.

• Where the processing of your personal data is necessary to comply with a legalĀ obligation to which we are subject.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

International transfers

We do not transfer your personal data outside the UK.

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,Ā we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other thirdĀ parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on ourĀ instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and willĀ notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil theĀ purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory,Ā tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longerĀ period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigationĀ in respect to our relationship with you.

Unless required by law or as set out above, we will generally delete your personal data 12 months after your last interaction with us.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer beĀ associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use thisĀ information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your legal rights

You have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These rightsĀ are set our below. If you wish to exercise any of these rights set out above please contact us.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the otherĀ rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded,Ā repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in theseĀ circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity andĀ ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). ThisĀ is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has noĀ right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation toĀ your request to speed up our response.

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

Your Rights

You have the following rights:

• Request access to your personal data (a “data subject access request”). This enables you toĀ receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to haveĀ any incomplete or inaccurate data corrected. We may need to verify the accuracy of anyĀ new data you provide to us.

• 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 haveĀ the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfullyĀ exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed yourĀ information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply withĀ local law. In some circumstances we may not be able to comply with an erasure request forĀ specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

• Object to processing of your personal data. You have a right to object where we are relyingĀ on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about yourĀ particular situation which you believe causes such processing to adversely impact on yourĀ fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processingĀ your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us toĀ suspend the processing of your personal data in certain scenarios, for example if you wantĀ us to establish the data’s accuracy or where our use of the data is unlawful but you do notĀ want us to erase it.

• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide yourĀ personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. This right onlyĀ applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or whereĀ we used the information to perform a contract with you.

• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personalĀ data. The lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent willĀ not be affected. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certainĀ products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time.
