4. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The law requires us to have a legal basis for collecting and using your Personal Data. We rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Performance of a contract with you: Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights (both positive and negative) before we process your Personal Data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

  • Legal obligation: We may use your Personal Data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to. We will identify the relevant legal obligation when we rely on this legal basis.

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.

9. DATA RETENTION

 

How long will you use my personal data for?

 

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. We may retain your Personal Data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

 

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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other 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.

 

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Paragraph 10 below for further information.

 

As mentioned above, in some circumstances we will de-identify or anonymise your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may retain and use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

10. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

 

You have a number of rights under data protection laws such as the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 in relation to your Personal Data.

 

You have the right to:

  • Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a "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 in certain circumstances. 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.

  • You also have the absolute right to object any time to the Processing of your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, where applicable (see OPTING OUT OF MARKETING in paragraph 5 for details of how to object to receiving direct marketing communications).

  • 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 (see the table in paragraph 5 for details of when we rely on your consent as the legal basis for using your 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.

  • Request restriction of Processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the Processing of your Personal Data in one of the following scenarios:

  • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy;

  • Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;

  • 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

  • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

    • In addition, you have the right to object to Processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.

  If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us (see contact details set out in Paragraph 12).

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 could 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 could 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.
