Processing personal information outside the United Kingdom

The personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the United Kingdom. The personal information may also be processed by staff operating outside the United Kingdom who work for one of our suppliers. In these circumstances, your personal information will only be transferred on one of the following bases: (i) the country has been assessed by the United Kingdom as providing adequate levels of protection; or (ii) contractual protection is in place that safeguards the personal information; or (iii) the transfer is permitted under applicable data protection legislation.

Retention of personal information

We retain your personal information for a number of purposes to allow us to carry out our business. Any retention of personal information will be done in compliance with relevant legal and regulatory obligations and with industry standards.

Your rights

You have legal rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal information, including as follows:

  • ask us how we use your personal data;
  • access your personal data;
  • ask us to correct any information about you that is out of date, incorrect or incomplete;
  • tell us that you do not want us to use your personal data in a certain way;
  • tell us to delete personal data we have on file;
  • ask us to give your data to a third party;
  • ask us to temporarily pause processing your data;
  • not hold you to a decision that was made solely in an automated way;
  • ask us to review automated decisions we make about you;
  • to request a copy of, or reference to, the safeguards we have put in place when your personal information is transferred outside of the EEA; and
  • to withdraw consent where we have asked for your consent to use your personal information.

Please note that these rights may be limited by data protection legislation, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply, 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.

We may ask you for proof of identity when making a request to exercise any of these rights. We do this to ensure we only disclose information where we know we are dealing with the right individual. We will not ask for a fee, unless we think your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Where a fee is necessary, we will inform you before proceeding with your request.

We aim to respond to all valid requests within one month. It may, however, take us longer if the request is particularly complicated or you have made several requests.

Complaints to Information Commissioner’s Officer

If you are not satisfied with how we are processing your personal information, you can make a complaint to the Information Commissioner. You can find out more about your rights under data protection legislation from the Information Commissioner's Office website at www.ico.org.uk.
