Which countries we might transfer your personal data to

In order for us to provide our services, offer our products or conduct and organize our businesses efficiently, we may need to transfer your personal data to locations outside the country or jurisdiction in which you have provided us with your personal data or where you are visiting our website(s) for the purposes as set out in this Policy.
We would like to inform you that such transfer of your personal data may include a transfer of your personal data from a location inside the European Economic Area to a location outside the European Economic Area, or – alternatively – from a location outside the European Economic Area to a location inside the European Economic Area.

As the case may be, the level of protection that is applicable in relation to your personal data in countries or locations that are located outside the European Economic Area, may be less that the level of protection offered within the European Economic Area.

However, whenever we transfer your personal data out of the European Economic Area, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;
where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which gives personal data the same protection it has within the European Economic Area; and
where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer personal data to them if they are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires certified providers to have in place and maintain a similar level of protection to the personal data as if it was processed within the European Economic Area.

How we protect your personal data

Taking into account the state of technology, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing of personal data by us, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in order to ensure a level of security which is considered appropriate to the risk of processing.

We ensure that those who have permanent or regular access to your personal data, or that involved in the processing of personal data, are trained properly and informed of their rights and responsibilities when processing personal data.

We would like to encourage you to make sure that your personal data as processed by us is accurate, so please do not hesitate to contact us in the event certain elements in relation to such personal data would have changed.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. It is our policy to respect your rights and we will act promptly and in accordance with any applicable law, rule or regulation relating to the processing of your personal data.

Details of your rights are set out below:

right to have personal data erased in certain circumstances – you have a right to request that certain personal data held by us is erased. This is also known as the right to be forgotten. This is not a blanket right to require all personal data to be deleted. We will consider each request carefully in accordance with the requirements of any laws relating to the processing of your personal data;
right to restrict processing of personal data in certain circumstances – you have a right to block the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This right arises if you are disputing the accuracy of personal data, if you have raised an objection to processing, if processing of personal data is unlawful and you oppose erasure and request restriction instead or if the personal data is no longer required by us but you require the personal data to be retained to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim;
right to data portability – in certain circumstances you can request to receive a copy of your personal data in a commonly used electronic format. This right only applies to personal data that you have provided to us (for example by completing a form or providing information through a website). Information about you which has been gathered by monitoring your behaviour will also be subject to the right to data portability. The right to data portability only applies if the processing is based on your consent or if the personal data must be processed for the performance of a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means (i.e. electronically);
right to object to processing of personal data in certain circumstances, including where personal data is used for marketing purposes – you have a right to object to processing being carried out by us if (a) we are processing personal data based on legitimate interests or for the performance of a task in the public interest (including profiling), (b) if we are using personal data for direct marketing purposes, or (c) if information is being processed for scientific or historical research or statistical purposes. You will be informed that you have a right to object at the point of data collection and the right to object will be explicitly brought to your attention and be presented clearly and separately from any other information; and

You may exercise any of your rights at any using the contact details set below in this Policy. 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 fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

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 calendar month. Occasionally it may take us longer than one calendar 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.
