Analytical/Performance Cookies: Allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around our Site.
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Record your visit to our Site, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We may share this information with third parties for advertising purposes.

7. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties for the purposes set out in Section 5:

Service providers acting as processors who provide IT, system administration, payment processing, marketing, and other services.
Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance, and accounting services.
Regulators and other authorities who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Some of our external third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your personal data may 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 implementing at least one of the following safeguards:

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission.
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission (Standard Contractual Clauses) which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

9. 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.

10. DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data (see Section 11 below). We may also 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.

11. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:

The right to access your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request").
The right to rectification of inaccurate personal data.
The right to erasure of your personal data (the "right to be forgotten").
The right to restrict processing of your personal data.
The right to data portability (to receive a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller).
The right to object to processing of your personal data, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
The right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of an alleged infringement) if you consider that our processing of your personal data infringes data protection laws.
