In almost all cases, our lawful basis for processing your personal data will be one of the following:

Legitimate interest - this means the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party. Some examples of this type of processing include:

How long we keep your personal data

We’ll only keep your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. The retention periods we apply and take account of include:

  • legal and regulatory requirements and guidance,
  • limitation periods that apply in respect of taking legal action,
  • our ability to defend ourselves against legal claims, and deal with complaints, good practice, and the operational requirements of our business.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely.

Sharing your personal data

We may share your personal data with:

  • Other companies within our group,
  • Any third parties we’ve appointed to provide services for us (for example, providers of IT or marketing services, our professional advisers, or a delivery company),
  • Any law enforcement agency, court, regulator, government authority or other organisation if we believe we need to in order to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of anyone else, and
  • Any organisation that buys, or to which we transfer all, or substantially all, of our assets and business.

Wherever we use a third party to process your personal data on our behalf, they’ll only process it in accordance with our instructions and we’ll take steps to ensure they handle your personal data in the right way.

Storing your personal data

We’ll store your personal data in our offices and on secure servers provided or supported by third parties acting under our instructions. Where your personal data is transferred or stored outside the UK or EEA, we’ll ensure appropriate measures are put in place to protect it. For example, we’ll only transfer your personal data outside the UK or EEA where a UK Government or European Commission approved method of validating the transfer has been put in place.

Your rights

You have a number of legal rights when it comes to your personal data. You can read about your legal rights (including the exceptions that apply) at the ICO’s website: click here.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure that your 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.

If you choose to exercise one of these rights or withdraw any consent you've previously given us (see Consent below for details), it may mean we cannot provide the services or products you've requested. We'll let you know if that's the case. In certain circumstances, even if you withdraw your consent we may still be able to process your personal information if required or permitted by law or for the purpose of exercising or defending our legal rights or meeting our legal and regulatory obligations.

Consent

We’ll only ask for and rely on your consent to process your personal data where you’re informed and your consent can be freely given. This means that, before you give your consent, we’ll provide you with full details of the information that we require and the reason we need it.

If you choose to provide your consent, you can withdraw it any time by contacting us through the ‘contact us’ section of our website.
