International Data Transfers and personal information held internationally
We may transfer your personal information internationally to other companies within our corporate group and to our third-party service providers, for the purposes of carrying out or facilitating these services and in compliance with the applicable laws.

When we transfer your personal information internationally, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy rights. We will only transfer personal information to countries which are recognised as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where we can be satisfied those alternative arrangements are in place to protect your privacy rights. We will also make sure that any requests for information we receive from law enforcement or regulators will be carefully validated before personal information is disclosed, where permitted by the applicable law.
Information Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to any of our affiliated websites. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.
How long we keep your personal information
We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations that we may have. We will only keep personal data for longer where there is a legal requirement for us to do so.
To determine how long we should keep your information for, we will consider the amount, type, and sensitivity of the personal information involved as well as the potential risk of harm if it is lost or used or disclosed without authorisation. We will also consider the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means without the need to keep your data.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data (see section on "Your rights" below for more information).
In some circumstances, we may also anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, for example for statistical purposes. Where we do this, we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Your rights
Your legal rights in relation to your personal information may vary depending on the country you are located in. These rights may include:
Access to your information: The right to request a copy of the personal information about you that we hold.
Correcting your information: We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate, complete, and up to date, and you may ask us to correct any personal information about you that you believe does not meet these standards.
Deleting your information: The right to ask us to delete personal information about you where:
You consider that we no longer require the information for the purposes for which it was obtained.
We are using that information with your consent, and you have withdrawn your consent – see Withdrawing consent to using your information below.

Our use of your personal information is contrary to law or our other legal obligations.
Objecting to how we may use your information: You have the right at any time to require us to stop using your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Restricting how we may use your information: In some cases, you may ask us to restrict how we use your personal information. This right might apply, for example, where we are checking the accuracy of personal information about you that we hold or assessing the validity of any objection you have made to our use of your information. The right might also apply where this is no longer a basis for using your personal information, but you don't want us to delete the data. Where this right is validly exercised, we may only use the relevant personal information with your consent, for legal claims or where there are other public interest grounds to do so.
Portability: If we process personal information that you provide to us on the basis of consent or because it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party, and in either case that processing is carried out by automated means, then you have the right to have that personal information transmitted to you in a machine-readable format. Where technically feasible, you also have the right to have that personal information transmitted directly to another controller.
Automated processing: If we use your personal information on an automated basis to make decisions which significantly affect you, you have the right to ask that the decision be reviewed by an individual to whom you may make representations and contest the decision. This right only applies where we use your information with your consent or as part of a contractual relationship with you.

C. To erase/anonymise personal information
You can ask us to erase, anonymise or block your information if you think we no longer need to use it for the purpose for which we collected it from you, or if such data is excessive or is processed in violation of applicable law. You can also ask us to erase your information if you have withdrawn your consent to us using your information (if we originally asked for your consent to use your information). We may not always be able to comply with your request, for example where we need to keep using your information to comply with our legal obligations or where we need to use your information to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
D. To object to how we use your information
You can object to any use of your information that we have justified on any legal bases other than consent, only in case of infringement of the applicable law. If you raise an objection, we may continue to use your information if we can demonstrate that we have a legal basis to continue to use the information.

You may request a review of decisions taken solely on the basis of automated personal data processing that affects your interests, including decisions intended to define your personal, professional, consumer and or aspects of your personality.
We may ask you for proof of identity when making a request to exercise any of these rights. We do this to make sure that we only disclose information where we know we are dealing with the right individual.
We may not always be able to do what you have asked, for example if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are otherwise legally entitled to deal with the request in a different way.
