protection legislation, on which this data is processed.

2. How we use your data
We will only use your data in a manner that is appropriate considering the basis on which that
data was collected, as set out in section 1 of this policy.
3. When we share your data
We will only pass your data to third parties in the following circumstances:
● you have provided your explicit consent for us to pass data to a named third party (for example
a supplier working on our behalf);
● we are using a third party purely for the purposes of processing data on our behalf and we have
in place a data processing agreement with that third party that fulfils our legal obligations in
relation to the use of third party data processors; or
● we are required by law to share your data.
In addition, we will only pass data to third parties outside of the EU where appropriate safeguards
are in place as defined by Article 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
4. How long we keep your data
We take the principles of data minimisation and removal seriously we will only ever ask for the
minimum amount of data for the associated purpose and delete that data promptly once it is no
longer required.
Where data is collected on the basis of consent, we will seek renewal of consent at least every
three years.
5. Rights you have over your data
You have a range of rights over your data, which include the following:
● Where data processing is based on consent, you may revoke this consent at any time and we
will make it as easy as possible for you to do this (for example by putting ‘unsubscribe’ links at
the bottom of all our marketing emails).
● You have the right to ask for rectification and/or deletion of your information.
● You have the right of access to your information.
● You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner if you feel your
rights have been infringed.
A full summary of your legal rights over your data can be found on the Information
Commissioner’s website here: https://ico.org.uk/
If you would like to access the rights listed above, or any other legal rights you have over your
data under current legislation, please get in touch with us.
Please note that relying on some of these rights, such as the right to deleting your data, will make
it impossible for us to continue to deliver some services to you. However, where possible we will
always try to allow the maximum access to your rights while continuing to deliver as many
services to you as possible.
