Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your personal data may involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. We ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to your data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- Transferring data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
- Using specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
- Using providers based in the US that are part of the Privacy Shield framework.
7. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know.
We have procedures in place 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
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill 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.
