The security of your data is extremely important to us. Access to your personal information is only provided to our staff and certain third parties, including:

In the course of providing such services, these service providers may have access to your personal information.  However, we will only provide our service providers with the information that is necessary for them to perform the services, and we ask them not to use your information for any other purpose.  We will always use our best efforts to ensure that all the service providers we work with will keep your personal information secure.

• our strategic partners, subject to your consent. Our selected partner organisations may use your personal information, but only with your consent.  Such sharing of personal information is for the purposes of improving and providing our products and services to you.
• third parties permitted by law, where we may be required to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (for example, we may be required to disclose personal information to the police, regulators, government agencies or to judicial or administrative authorities). We may also disclose your personal information to third parties where disclosure is both legally permitted and necessary to protect or defend our rights, matters of national security, law enforcement, to enforce our Terms and Conditions or protect your rights or those of the public.

Our website may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partners, or affiliates.  If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy notices and that we have no control over how they may use your personal information.  You should check the privacy notices of third party websites before you submit any personal information to them.

Data Retention

Your personal information will only be stored for as long as necessary for the purposes for which they were collected and only to the extent permitted by applicable laws. When we no longer need to use your information, we will remove it from our systems and records and / or take steps to promptly anonymise it so that you can no longer be identified from it (unless we need to keep your information to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which we are subject).

International Data Transfers

The personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).  It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA and who work for us or for one of our service providers.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable data protection laws, including, where relevant, entering into EU standard contractual clauses (or equivalent measures) with the party outside the EEA receiving the personal information.

How We Protect Personal Information

We have implemented technical and organisational security measures in an effort to safeguard personal information in our custody and control. These measures include limiting access to personal information only to employees and authorised service providers who need to know such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, as well as other technical, administrative and physical safeguards.

While we endeavour to always protect our systems and information against unauthorised access, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle (and other risk factors), we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.

Your Personal Information Rights

You have various rights in connection with our processing of your personal information:

• Access. You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we are processing about you, which we will provide back to you in electronic form.
• Rectification. You have the right to have incomplete or inaccurate personal information that we process about you rectified.
• Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete personal information that we process about you, except we are not obligated to do so if we need to retain such data in order to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• Restriction. You have the right to restrict our processing of your personal information where you believe such data to be inaccurate, our processing is unlawful or that we no longer need to process such data for a particular purpose, but where we are not able to delete the data due to a legal or other obligation or because you do not wish for us to delete it. In such case, we would mark stored personal information with the aim of limiting particular processing for particular purposes in accordance with your request, or otherwise restrict its processing.
• Objection. Where the legal justification for our processing of your personal information is our legitimate interest, you have the right to object to such processing on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will abide by your request unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests and rights, or if we need to continue to process the data for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.
• Withdrawing Consent. Where we process certain personal information on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent.

In some situations, we may refuse to act or may impose limitations on your rights, as permitted by law. Before we can provide you with any information or correct any inaccuracies, we may ask you to verify your identity and/or provide other details to help us respond to your request. For the exercise of your rights, please contact us using the contact information provided below in the “How to Contact Us” section.

In all cases, you have a right to file a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe that we have not complied with applicable data protection laws.
