•           We may share your personal data if we are required to respond to law enforcement, officials, regulatory agencies and other lawful requests or legal processes, or to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

Legitimate Interests/Consent

To the extent we rely on our legitimate interests as a legal basis for processing of your personal data, we have considered the balance between our own interests (among other things, the lawful and efficient operation of our business and our services) and your interests and we believe that (a) you would reasonably expect us to carry out the kind of processing referenced above and (b) such processing will not cause you any harm and/or will not seriously impact your rights and freedoms with regard to data privacy. As stated below, you have the right to withdraw any consent given to us for the processing of your personal data.

Your Choices & Rights

You have a number of rights under applicable data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right under certain circumstances to:

1.     Have access to your personal data by making a “subject access request”;

2.     Have your personal data corrected if it is wrong or, in certain circumstances, to have it deleted;

3.     Have the processing of your personal data restricted (while we verify or investigate your concerns with the information, for example);

4.     Object to the further processing in certain circumstances of your personal data including the right to object to marketing;

5.     Request the Company moves your personal data elsewhere (data portability request);

6.     Withdraw any consent that you have given us if we are processing your personal data only because you have given us consent; and

7.     Not have your personal data automatically processed.

To exercise one of the above rights, please contact us using the details provided above.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month 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.

Automated Decision-Making

We do not engage in any activities involving the automated processing of personal data, including profiling (broadly, the evaluation of aspects of an individual in order to categorize them or to assess or predict their capabilities, interests or future behaviors) or Automated Decision-Making (broadly, a decision based solely on automated processing which significantly affects an individual), and nor are there any plans for us to do so.

Security of your Personal Data

We take your privacy very seriously and work hard to protect your data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent this from happening. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, volunteers, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent your data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

Third party links

This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications, for example on our news page. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

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. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

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 of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Cross-Border Transfers

We may transfer your personal data to a third party that is located outside of the United Kingdom, including to countries that have not been deemed to have an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects. If we do transfer your personal data outside the United Kingdom, we will do so following due diligence and provided that the data recipient is the subject of contractual arrangements imposing, among other things, obligations on it to ensure that appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented by it at all times to prevent the unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data, and/or the accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, consistent with our obligations under applicable data protection laws.
