International Transfers
Some of our External Third Parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. We strive to ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to such data as has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.


Third Party Links
Our website may contain links to other online or mobile sites. We are not responsible and accept no liability for the privacy practices or content of such sites.


Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected such data, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. By law we have to keep basic information (including contact, identity and transaction data) for a minimum of six years after the end of the tax year in which an invoice was raised, a payment made or a contract terminated, unless there is a statutory or business requirement to retain this data for a longer period.


Your Legal Rights 
Under certain circumstances, you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:

1 - Right of Access - you may request a copy of the personal data that we hold on you.
2 - Right of Rectification – you may request to have corrected any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you.
3 - Right to Erasure - you may request us to delete or remove your personal data. However, 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.
4  - Right to Restriction - you may request us to stop using your data in certain ways, for example to stop processing your information for marketing purposes.
5 - Right to Portability - you may request us to provide you, or a third party that you have chosen, with a copy of your personal data. Please note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
6 - Right to Object - you may object to your personal data being used where you believe that it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.
7 - Right not to be Subject to Automated Decision Making - we do not engage in such activities and so as such this right is not relevant.
8 - Right to Withdraw Consent - this applies where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. This right does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products, content or services to you.

We may require you to prove your identity to 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 that has no right to receive such data. We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.
