or in respect of third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message.

5. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in
the table in section 4 above.
Specific External third parties such as;
MailChimp (The Rocket Science Group, LLC.)
MailChimp provides an email address management service, automation and marketing
platform (message sending) and related services, and is a trade name of The Rocket Science
Group, LLC.
We use these services to manage our contacts database which includes Contact and
Marketing and Communications Data for example.
Processing may take place in the US or in other countries outside of the EU. MailChimp
states that it uses its affiliates and various third party sub-processors to assist it in providing
these services and that such sub-processors (whose corporate locations are in the US)
provide cloud hosting and storage services; content delivery and review services; assist in
providing customer support; and in incident tracking, response, diagnosis and resolution
services.
.
[Processing may take place in the U.S. or in other countries outside of the EU.]
6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing
of your personal data will, in limited circumstances, involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is
afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an
adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details,
see – European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries
at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacyprotection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the
European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For
further details, see:
European Commission: Model Contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries at https://
ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contractstransfer-personal-data-third-countries_en
• Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the
Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared
between the Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy
Shield at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/eu-usprivacy-shield_en
Google has recently updated its general approach to privacy and has stated (amongst other things)
that it complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, regarding the collection, use, and
retention of personal information from data subjects in the EEA and with the Swiss-U.S. Privacy
Shield Framework regarding the collection, use and retention of personal information from data
subjects in Switzerland.
Mailchimp has stated (amongst other things) that it complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield
Framework, regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from data subjects in
the EEA and with the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework regarding the collection, use and
retention of personal information from data subjects in Switzerland.[PRH6]
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when
transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
7. DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being
accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit
access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who
have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data 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.
8. DATA RETENTION
HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?
We will only retain 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 requirements.
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 requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial
and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see section 9 below in respect of
requesting erasure for further information.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated
with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely
without further notice to you.
9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal
data. These rights include the following types if “request”:
• Request access to your personal data.
• Request correction of your personal data.
• Request erasure of your personal data.
• Object to processing of your personal data.
• Request restriction of processing your personal data.
• Request transfer of your personal data.
• Right to withdraw consent.
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This
enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are
lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any
incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the
accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal
data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to
delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to
processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are
required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always
be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you,
if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of
a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to
processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also
have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In
some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your
information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the
processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s
accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you
need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend
legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have
overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third
party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
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.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process 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.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
NO FEE USUALLY REQUIRED
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).
However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or
excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU
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.
TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may 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.
