– for prevention of fraud and other criminal activities;

– to review facts, assess and improve our service to customers through recordings of any calls with our offices;
– for the management of any queries, complaints, or claims you bring; and

Others who may receive or have access to your personal information
Group companies
We may share your information with other Group companies. They may use your personal information in the ways set out in the section How we use your personal information above, in connection with the certain specific ancillary or complementary products and/or services, for example products and services which only they can provide for regulatory reasons, or products and services which are similar to those We offer but may be under name of a different brand
Please see the start of this policy for a description of what we mean by Group companies with whom we may share your personal information in this way.
Our suppliers and service providers
We may disclose your information to certain selected third-party partners, service providers, agents, subcontractors and other organisations where necessary for the purposes of them providing services to us or directly to you on our behalf. Such third parties may include cloud service providers (such as hosting and software service providers), digital and marketing agencies and administrative services providers.
When we use third party service providers in this way, we only disclose to them any personal information that is necessary for them to provide their service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it other than in accordance with our specific instructions for the purposes intended and set out in this Policy.
Credit/debit card payment processors
When you purchase certain products or services via our websites, over the phone or at one of our premises, a credit or debit card payment may be processed with your instruction by a third party payment processor who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please ask us at the time of making the payment or contact us using the details at the end of this policy.
We do not store or keep a record of your credit card details on our own websites or within our own systems.
Other ways we may share your personal information
We may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation. We may also transfer your personal information if we’re under a duty to disclose or share it in order to comply with any legal obligation, for example to detect or report a crime, to enforce or apply the terms of our contracts or to protect the rights, property or safety of other data subjects. If/when we do so, we will always take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected and your rights are upheld.
Where we transfer your personal information
Information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the EEA, for example where any of our Group companies which need access to that information are incorporated in a country outside of the EEA, or if any of our servers or those of our third party service providers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EEA. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK.
If we transfer your information outside of the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this policy. This is because some countries outside the EEA do not have the same adequate data protection laws equivalent to those within the EEA. These steps may include, for example imposing contractual obligations on the recipient of your personal information or ensuring that the recipients subscribe to other relevant regulatory regimes or best practice that aim to ensure adequate protection. Please contact us using the details at the end of this policy for more information about the protections that we put in place in these circumstances.
If you use our services, access our systems or view any of our content whilst you are outside the EEA, your information may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with those services.
How long we keep your personal information for
When we collect your personal information, the length of time we retain it is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which we use that information and our obligations under other laws. We do not retain personal information in an identifiable format for longer than we consider necessary.
The length of time we retain your personal data may also vary depending on the legal basis we are using.
When you contact our offices by telephone calls may be recorded. Such call recordings are retained for no longer than 90 days.
Where your personal data is required to complete or comply with a Contract
We may need your personal information to comply with our own legal and accounting responsibilities, and/or to establish, bring or defend legal claims. For this purpose, we will always retain your personal information for 7 years after the date it is no longer needed by us for any of the purposes listed under How we use your personal information above. Where we are only required to retain some of your information for these purposes, we will use our reasonable endeavours to ‘minimise’ that data and not to retain any information which we do not need to hold for 7 years.
The only exceptions to this are where:
the law requires us to hold your personal information for a longer period, or to delete it sooner; you exercise your right to have the information erased (where applicable) and we do not need to hold it in connection with any of the reasons permitted or required under the law (see further Erasing your personal information or restricting its processing below); or in limited cases, the law permits us to keep your personal information for longer, provided we put certain protections in place.
If you are a citizen of any EEA country, we will not retain your personal data for longer than 4 years after a Legitimate Interest Assessment has been made, unless either;
We identify circumstances which in our reasonable and professional judgement indicate there is an ongoing Legitimate Interest; or
Where the Legitimate Interest we have relied on has expired, we have first (or since) obtained your consent (see below)
If you are not a citizen of the any EEA country, we may retain your personal details for longer than 4 years where we consider it worthwhile and justifiable, subject at all times to upholding your rights as a data subject.
We will retain your personal data for as long as we consider it worthwhile and justifiable, subject at all times to upholding your rights as a data subject (including the right for you to withdraw your consent and the right to have your personal data erased).
Even where you have given and not withdrawn your consent, we may at any point make the decision not to retain your personal data where we consider it to be no longer worthwhile and justifiable.
Data security and links to or from other organisations
We are committed to ensuring that your information is held securely in systems that can be controlled and protected in accordance with data security best practice. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect from you. Where possible we only store information in structured systems (databases) which can only be accessed with secure passwords.
Occasionally it may be necessary to store or transfer some of your personal data in unstructured ways, such as on paper or in document formats that are necessary to enable us to collect and process that information in accordance with the purpose. In these cases, we will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that procedures and controls are in place to maintain the security of and access to that information.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is never completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to or from our website at all times and any transmission is therefore at your own risk. Once we have received your personal information, we put in place reasonable and appropriate controls to ensure that it remains secure against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorised access.
Our websites may contain links to other websites run by other organisations. Similarly, we may refer you from time to time to other organisations who are not Group companies and to whom you may also provide personal data. This policy does not apply to those other organisations where this happens, therefore we encourage you to read their separate privacy statements. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites or third parties, even if you access those websites or otherwise make contact with those organisations using links or contact details that we provide.
In addition, if you linked to our website, a contact details form, or any other material we have published electronically from a third party website or an email sent to you by a third party, we are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of those third parties and recommend that you check their privacy statements as well.
Where we collect and process any particularly sensitive personal information, for example your bank details, we will apply additional security controls to protect that data.
Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain information we hold in any of our systems, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone and to tell us as soon as possible if you think your password may have been stolen, exposed or compromised in any way.
