You can also request that we send marketing material to a non-personal email address instead of one which identifies you as an individual.

How long will we keep your personal information?
We will not keep your personal information for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Additionally, we will retain personal data for any statutory or limitation period that is relevant to us. For instance, we typically retain contractual information for at least 6 years after the end of the contract.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your personal information (see the ‘What are you rights?’ section below).
In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

How and where is your personal information stored?

We may store some or all of your personal information in countries outside of the UK and  European Economic Area (“EEA“). We may transfer your personal information outside of the EEA or UK to:

  • store it;
  • enable us to provide our products or services to you;
  • where we are legally required to do so; and
  • facilitate the operation of our group of businesses, where it is in our legitimate interests, and we have concluded these are not overridden by your rights.

We will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal information is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK / EEA. We do this by implementing certain standard contractual clauses with the recipients of your personal information.
Please contact us for further information about the particular data protection safeguards used by us when transferring your personal information outside of the UK / EEA.

How do we keep your personal information secure?

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our Site. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access, including:

  • limiting access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to access it; and
  • implementing procedures for dealing with data security breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal information) including notifying you and/or the Information Commissioner’s Office where we are legally required to do so.

Our Site may, from time to time, contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such sites.

We may share your personal information with:

  • our group companies, who may also process your personal information for the purposes set out in this policy;
  • organisations who process your personal information on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. This includes supporting our services, in particular data hosting services, fulfilment services, communications providers, advertising services, marketing services, facilitating feedback on our Site and providing IT support services from time to time. These organisations (which may include third party suppliers, agents, sub-contractors and/or other companies in our group) will only use your personal information to the extent necessary to perform their support functions;
  • analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our Site or services and advertising; and
  • other third parties such as professional advisors, including banks, accountants, and lawyers.

We will also disclose your personal information to third parties in the event that:

  • we sell our business or assets, in which case we will disclose your personal information to the prospective buyer of such business or assets subject to the terms of this privacy policy;
  • such disclosure is required in order: to comply with legal requests, where required or legally permitted to establish, exercise or defend legal rights; in order to enforce or apply our terms of supply and other agreements with you; or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our customers, or others. This includes exchanging personal information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection, credit risk reduction and to prevent cybercrime.
