If you are under investigation or we have identified possible fraud, money-laundering, criminal activity we may retain your personal data for longer. 

If there is a legal dispute, we will retain your personal data for the duration of the dispute and for six years thereafter. 

9. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

The data that we collect from you is stored in the UK but it may be processed by staff operating outside the EEA (European Economic Area) who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. 

By submitting your personal data, you agree to the processing of this data outside of the EEA. 

We take all steps necessary to ensure that your data, regardless of where it is processed, is treated securely and in accordance with this data protection policy and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) which includes where possible that the hosts have a certification to ISO27001 standard. 

We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area. These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the EEA. 

We may share your data within the group of companies of which we may be part. Where this involves the transfer of personal data outside the EEA, we apply “binding corporate rules”. More information on binding corporate rules is available from the European Commission. 

Where we may transfer your data to a third party based in the US or other countries, and in all such cases we will ensure that standard contractual clauses or an Adequacy Decision is in place to protect your personal data. This requires that third party to provide data protection to standards similar to those in Europe. More information is available from the European Commission. 

Please contact us using the details below in Part 15 for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data to a third country. 

The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:

• limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality; 
• procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data).  

10. Do You Share My Personal Data?

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to the following exceptions. 

If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Any new owner of our business may continue to use your personal data in the same way(s) that we have used it, as specified in this Data protection policy. 

In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority. 

11. Security

We will take appropriate security, technical and organizational measures to ensure that your personal data is kept secure and to prevent the theft, loss or unauthorized access to your personal data. It is important to understand however that security can never be guaranteed and you will not hold us liable save where the security of your personal data is compromised due to our negligence. 

12. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”. 

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email. 

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding. 

We will respond to your subject access request within the period established by law and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request.
