You can block cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies.

WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH

Depending on the circumstances, we may share your personal data with:

Companies within our group of companies which are based in the US and Israel;
External service providers e.g. website hosting provider, email service provider, PR and marketing service provider, IT providers, document management providers, banks, payment card providers, health and safety consultant and service providers who provide website hosting, email hosting, PR and marketing, financial, health and safety and carrier or postal services;

We may also need to share some personal data with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a re-structuring. Usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible.

TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

Some of organisations with whom we share your personal data are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) (which comprises the countries in the European Union and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer outside of the EEA. For example, we may share your personal data with our US parent company and group companies in the US and Israel and their third party technical advisors for the purposes of obtaining technical support, enhancing sales and considering operational issues and financial reporting.

These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law.

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to your data by ensuring one of the following (or one of the other grounds set out in data protection law) applies:

your data is transferred to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;
the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us;
the transfer is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
the transfer is necessary for our business management and is under our legitimate interests
there are adequate safeguards in place between us and the organisation receiving it (e.g. by the use of European Commission approved contractual terms); or
you have provided explicit consent to the proposed transfer after being informed of any potential risks.

Please contact us (see below: “How can you contact us”) if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data outside of the EEA

WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Data protection law gives you certain rights, which you can exercise free of charge. Your rights will differ depending on our lawful basis for processing your data:

Access	The right to be provided with a copy of your personal data
Rectification	The right to require us to correct any mistakes in your personal data
To be forgotten	In certain situations, the right to require us to delete your personal data
Restriction of processing	In certain situations, the right to require us to restrict processing of your personal data e.g. if you contest the accuracy of the data
Data portability	In certain situations, the right to ask us to transfer any personal data you provided to us to another organisation
To object	The right to object at any time to your personal data being processed for direct marketing and in certain other situations to our continued processing of your personal data e.g. where processing is carried out for the purpose of our legitimate interests

For further information on each of those rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, please contact us or see the Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on individuals’ rights under the General Data Protection Regulation https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email or write to us (see below: “How can you contact us”) and let us have enough information to identify you e.g. your full name and address and e.g. account reference or other identifier as well as what right you want to exercise and the personal data to which your request relates.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including;

to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;
to show that we treated you fairly; and
to keep records required by law to comply with our legal obligations.

We will not retain your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this notice. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal data.

KEEPING YOUR PERSONAL DATA SECURE

We have put in place reasonable and appropriate security measures to endeavour to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed unlawfully. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk.

Our Website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy policies. When you leave our Website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

HOW TO COMPLAIN

We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you may raise about our use of your personal data. If you want to complain about how we have used your personal data, please email or write to us (see below: “How can you contact us”). However, if we are not able to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you can complain to the UK’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Further information about how to make a complaint to the ICO can be found on the ICO website www.ico.org.uk.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation also gives you right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the European Union state where you work, normally live or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred.
