Where Personal Data is processed because it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, we will be unable to provide our services without the required information.

There may be instances where we need to process Special Category Personal Data, such as health, race or ethnicity information. We will ensure the relevant special conditions are met and documented where required by law.

 

Children’s Data

 

Our services are not designed for children or those under the age of 18. If we do become aware of anyone using our services who may be under 18, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure we do not process their data any further and will communicate this to them directly.

 

Please note, Personal Data will not be used for any automated decision-making processes, including profiling, with legal or similarly significant effects on Data Subjects.

 

Data Sharing

 

We may need to share your Personal Data with other departments and members of our organisation, such as IT / technical support (including any help and assistance with our AI service offering).

 

There may also be instances where we may need to share your Personal Data with any competent law enforcement body, regulatory organisation, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation or (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights.

 

International Data Transfers

 

There may be instances where we need to transfer your Personal Data outside the UK or the European Economic Area (the EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein – “EEA”). This is because the organisations we use to provide our service to you are based outside the UK or EEA. 

 

We have taken appropriate steps to ensure that when your Personal Data is processed in a country outside the UK or EEA, it does not have a materially lower level of protection than that guaranteed in the UK or EEA. We do this by ensuring that:

 

  • Your Personal Data is only processed in a country which the Secretary of State or the European Commission has confirmed has an adequate level of protection (an adequacy regulation), or
  • We enter into appropriate transfer safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the UK Addendum, or other approved transfer mechanisms, where required.
  • When transferring your Personal Data to the USA, we may alternatively rely on the UK-US Extension of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, where the recipient of the data is appropriately certified.

These measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this notice.

 

Processors

 

We may at times use processors to help us fulfil our contractual duties and obligations. We have put in place agreements with them and ensured the correct data protection language, obligations and responsibilities are incorporated in these agreements. A list of sub-processors is available upon request by contacting us using the details below.

 

Cookies

 

We use cookies on our websites. More information to how we use cookies can be found in our Cookie Notice available here.

Automated Decision-Making

 

We do not make any decisions about you based solely on automated decisions.

 

Data Retention

 

We regularly review our data retention practices ensuring we only retain Personal Data for as long as necessary, in line with our data processing activities. We have created a Personal Data Retention Policy to help document relevant retention periods.

 

As a Controller we will retain Personal Data for as long as is necessary for the purposes of the processing and a reasonable time afterwards. As a Processor we will retain Personal Data as determined by our client Controllers. When Personal Data is to be deleted we will either delete it manually or anonymise it if deletion is not possible. 

 

What Happens If Our Business Changes Hands?

 

We may, from time to time, expand or reduce our business and this may involve the sale and/or the transfer of control of all or part of our business. Any Personal Data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will be permitted to use that data only for the purposes for which it was originally collected by us.

 

Data Security

 

We are ISO 27001 certified and copies of our certification are available upon request. We have also 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 are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We may need to request specific information from you to confirm your identity before we can process your request. Once in receipt of this, we will process your request without undue delay and within one month. In some cases, such as with complex requests, it may take us longer than this and, if so, we will keep you updated. 

 

Concerns and Complaints

 

You have the right to complain if you consider that we have not complied with the data protection law when handling your Personal Data. We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 30 days, investigate the matter without undue delay, and keep you informed of the progress and outcome.
