To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

We will also retain data in an anonymous form for statistical and analytical purposes after this date, without further notice to you.

8 – Your rights in relation to your personal data

The right to be informed

The right to be informed requires us to provide you with information about the purpose of us collecting and processing your personal data, how long we keep the information for, and who we will share this information with. This document has been created in order to provide you with this information. If you have any further queries about anything contained within this document, please contact our Compliance Officer whose details can be found at the bottom of this page.

The right of access

This right enables you to ask us to confirm whether or not we process personal data about you, and if we do, certain information about the processing, including what the information is, why we’re holding it and the ways in which we use it. You also have a right to request a copy of this information. You can exercise this right by contacting our Compliance Officer whose details can be found at the bottom of this page.

The right to rectification

This right allows you to request any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold on you is rectified. Should anything be inaccurate or incomplete, please contact us and we will make any corrections necessary, although note that we may need to verify the accuracy of any new data you provide to us.

The right to erasure

This right allows you to ask us to erase or delete information where you consider there is no longer any justification for us continuing to process it, either because:

  • The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which we collected it
  • We processed your personal data based on your consent, which you have now withdrawn and where there is no other lawful basis for us to process your data
  • You have previously objected to a way in which we use information
  • We have been using the information unlawfully
  • There is a legal obligation on us to erase the information

Please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

The right to restrict processing

This right allows you to request a restriction on the way your personal data is processed by us where:

  • You have challenged the accuracy of the personal data we hold and we are in the process of verifying this
  • You have objected to our use of your personal data but we are considering whether our legitimate interests override your objection
  • We have been processing your information unlawfully but you want us to restrict the use of your personal data rather than erase it
  • We no longer need the information for the purposes of processing but you have asked us to hold it because of legal claims you’re involved in

The right to data portability

This right allows you to request a copy of the personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly-used, machine-readable format. You have the right to receive this information yourself, or transfer to a third party. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use, or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

The right to object

This right allows you to object to the way in which your data is processed. This right is only applicable where we have confirmed that the lawful basis used in order to process your data is based on our  ‘legitimate interests’ or those of a third party and in some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

Withdraw consent

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to processing your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

What we may need from you and time limits

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 month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a 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.

9 – Your requirement to provide information

Where you do not provide the personal information we need in order to provide the service you are asking for, or under the terms of a contract we have with you or in order to fulfil a legal requirement, and you fail to provide that information where requested to do so, we will be unable to provide the service you have requested, or may be unable to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you.

We will tell you why we need the information when we ask for it, and notify you if this is the case at the time.
