We have a Retention Schedule that outlines the individual retention periods for the different data we collect, for example, financial information will be retained for 6 years after the current financial year to comply with financial and tax regulations (this means we have a legal obligation to retain this information).

Storing and keeping Customer’s information
Keeping His information safe and secure is important to us. We have policies, procedures, and technical security to do this, and our staff and associates all understand data protection and confidentiality.
Wherever possible we will store Customer’s information in the UK, however, some service providers that we have contracts with may use storage facilities elsewhere including the EU, USA and countries outside the EU/EEA.
We will ensure that contracts and licences are in place for any service providers used, and that we have undertaken checks on contract clauses. This includes ensuring that any other countries have adequate levels of protection in place for personal data, the country has a UK agreement in place known as an 'adequacy decision', or that any provisions are equivalent to the protection that UK legislation provides.
- The Site may contain content from and links to various websites. This Privacy Policy will not apply to any personal information that is collected by such websites. Customer must consult the terms and conditions and privacy policy of such websites to find out how they collect and use His personal information and to establish for what purposes they may use His personal information.
- In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose Customer’s information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
- However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for Customer’s purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that Customer read their privacy policies so He can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
- In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either Customer or us. So if He select to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then Customer’s information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
- Once Customer leave our Site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, He is no longer governed by this.
Customer has certain rights in respect of the information that we hold about Him. These are:
- The right to be informed about the processing of His personal information (that is why we provide this privacy policy);
- The right to request access to the information that we hold about Customer;
- The right to ask us to rectify any incorrect information that we hold about Customer;
- The right to ask us to erase Customer’s personal data (also called the right to be forgotten);
- The right to restrict processing in some circumstances;
- The right to data portability where He gave provided Him information with consent and we process this automatically;
- The right to object to processing and in particular, the right to object to using your personal information for marketing purposes;
- The right to not be subject to automated decision-making and profiling;
- We have already mentioned this, but where Customer provides His information with consent, He can withdraw this at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
Customer may exercise His rights above by contacting us using the details set out in this Privacy Statement, or in the case of objecting to our marketing activities, by checking certain boxes on forms that we use to collect His data to tell us that He does not want to be involved in marketing.
When He exercise His rights including access to His information, generally we do not charge a fee. We will only consider charging a fee if He asks for a second copy of data we have already provided to Him, or His request is repeated and a reasonable time has not elapsed between requests, or we consider His request to be unfounded (for example, there is no real reason behind it) or it is excessive. If a fee is to be made, we are allowed to charge a reasonable fee and we will tell Customer about this before we continue with His request. We may also refuse His request if it is unfounded, repeated, or excessive but we will explain our reasons if this applies.
Customer can find out more about these rights and more on the Information Commissioner's Office website at www.ico.org.uk or by contacting us using the details set out in this Privacy Statement.
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes to our Website or notify Customer of any material changes by e-mail. Any changes will come into effect the next time He engages with us after the changes have been notified.
Subject to the paragraph below, no one other than a party to this Privacy Policy shall have any right to enforce any of its terms.
Notwithstanding any other term of this Privacy Policy, if at any time we wish to appoint any other person (the New Licensee Entity) in our place for the purposes of this Privacy Policy:
- We shall serve written notice on Customer informing Him of that fact and the date (the New Entity Date) on which the appointment of the New Licensee Entity is to take effect;
- We shall procure that the New Licensee Entity shall on or prior to the New Entity Date provide written confirmation to Customer that the New Licensee Entity shall assume our obligations and liabilities under this Privacy Policy with effect from the New Entity Date;

- With effect from the New Entity Date, we shall be unconditionally and irrevocably discharged from any obligations and liabilities under this Privacy Policy arising on or after the New Entity Date.
