Data retention
We hold your personal data for as long as necessary in line with any legislative, regulatory or business need.
You have the right to request we erase your data, where we do not have any overriding legal, regulatory or contractual obligations.
How do we protect your data?
We aim to ensure that your personal data is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration, we have put in place appropriate physical, technical and organisational measures to safeguard and secure the personal data we collect. Our service providers are required to do the same. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality and oversight.
In addition, we limit access to your personal data on a least privilege, need to know basis. We also carry out regular security testing to ensure that your personal data is protected.
Any personal data sent to us, either in writing or email, may be insecure in transit and we cannot guarantee its delivery.
International data transfers
Personal data that we collect is only stored in countries, which have adequate security controls in place, notably the UK.
Your legal rights
You may instruct us to provide you with any personal data we hold about you as part of a Subject Access Request. The provision of such information will be subject to evidencing your identity.
In certain instances, where exemptions exist, we may withhold personal data that you request, and which are permissible by law.
You have the right to rectification and may wish to contact us if the personal data that we hold about you needs to be corrected or updated.
You have the right to object to us processing your data, and the right to request we restrict the processing of your data.
You may instruct us at any time not to process your personal data for marketing and communications purposes by means of ‘opting-out’.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable admin fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex. In such instances, we will notify you and keep you updated.
