How we protect and store your information
Security
We have implemented and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures, policies and procedures designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorised disclosure or access to such information appropriate to the nature of the information concerned. Measures we take include placing confidentiality requirements on our staff members and service providers; limiting access to personal information and destroying personal information which is no longer required.
Storing your personal information
We will store your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as explained in this privacy policy. In some circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting requirements.
In specific circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your personal information or dealings.
Your Rights
Subject to certain exemptions, and in some cases dependent upon our lawful basis (see “Use of the information we collect and its lawful basis” above), you have certain rights in relation to your personal information:
- To access personal information, together with an explanation about how and why we use your personal information
- To rectify / erase personal information
- To restrict the processing of your personal information
- To object to the processing of personal information (where the lawful basis is “legitimate interests”)
- To object to how we use your personal information for direct marketing purposes
- To obtain a portable copy of your personal information or have it transmitted to another organisation (where the lawful basis is “consent” or “performance of a contract”)
- To obtain a copy of personal information safeguards used for transfers outside your jurisdiction
- To lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office).
We may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes, before disclosing the personal information requested to you. We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Please note that it may be technically impossible to completely delete your information because of back-ups and records of deletions. However, any remaining traces of your personal information will be stored securely and will not be subject to routine access.
We will only perform the activities outlined above to the extent that such activities will not compromise privacy, security or any other legal interests.
