We will comply with Our obligations and safeguard your rights under the GDPR at all times.<\/p>\n Our use of your personal data will always have a lawful basis, either because it is necessary for Our performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to Our use of your personal data (e.g. by subscribing to emails), or because it is in Our legitimate interests. Specifically, We may use your data for the following purposes:<\/p>\n With your permission and\/or where permitted by law, We may also use your data for marketing purposes which may include contacting you by email or telephone with information, news and offers on Our services. We will not, however, send you any unsolicited marketing or spam and will take all reasonable steps to ensure that We fully protect your rights and comply with Our obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out. We will always obtain your express opt-in consent before sharing your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes and you will be able to opt-out at any time.<\/p>\n We will only use your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected unless We reasonably believe that another purpose is compatible with that or those original purpose(s) and need to use your personal data for that purpose. If We do use your personal data in this way and you wish Us to explain how the new purpose is compatible with the original, please contact Us.<\/p>\n If We need to use your personal data for a purpose that is unrelated to, or incompatible with, the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, We will explain the legal basis which allows Us to do so.<\/p>\n In some circumstances, where permitted or required by law, We may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent. This will only be done within the bounds of the Data Protection Legislation and your legal rights.<\/p>\n Third parties whose content appears on Our Site may use third party Cookies, as detailed below. Please refer to that section for more information on controlling Cookies. Please note that We do not control the activities of such third parties, nor the data they collect and use and advise you to check the privacy policies of any such third parties.<\/p>\n You have the right to withdraw your consent to Us using your personal data at any time, and to request that We delete it.<\/p>\n We do not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected.<\/p>\n How and Where We Store Your Data<\/strong><\/p>\n We only keep your personal data for as long as We need to in order to use it as described above, and\/or for as long as We have your permission to keep it.<\/p>\n Some or all of your data may be stored outside of the European Economic Area (\u201cthe EEA\u201d) (The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). You are deemed to accept and agree to this by using Our Site and submitting information to Us. If We do store data outside the EEA, We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR.<\/p>\n 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:<\/p>\n When and How We Share Your Data<\/strong><\/p>\n We may share your data with other companies in Our group for analysis and to improve the performance of our services to you. This includes Our subsidiaries.<\/p>\n We may sometimes contract with third parties to supply services to you on Our behalf. These may include payment processing, search engine facilities, advertising, and marketing. In some cases, the third parties may require access to some or all of your data. Where any of your data is required for such a purpose, We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data will be handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, Our obligations, and the obligations of the third party under the law.<\/p>\n We may compile statistics about the use of Our Site including data on traffic, usage patterns, user numbers, sales, and other information. All such data will be anonymised and will not include any personally identifying data, or any anonymised data that can be combined with other data and used to identify you. We may from time to time share such data with third parties such as prospective investors, affiliates, partners, and advertisers. Data will only be shared and used within the bounds of the law.<\/p>\n We may sometimes use third party data processors that are located outside of the EEA.\u00a0 Where We transfer any personal data outside the EEA, We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR.<\/p>\n In certain circumstances, We may be legally required to share certain data held by Us, which may include your personal data, for example, where We are involved in legal proceedings, where We are complying with legal requirements, a court order, or a governmental authority.<\/p>\n What Happens If Our Business Changes Hands<\/strong><\/p>\n We may, from time to time, expand or reduce Our business and this may involve the sale and\/or the transfer of control of all or part of Our business. Any personal data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of Our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Policy, be permitted to use that data only for the same purposes for which it was originally collected by Us.<\/p>\n In the event that any of your data is to be transferred in such a manner, you will be contacted in advance and informed of the changes. When contacted you will be given the choice to have your data deleted or withheld from the new owner or controller.<\/p>\n How You Can Control Your Data<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition to your rights under the GDPR, set out above, when you submit personal data via Our Site, you may be given options to restrict Our use of your data. In particular, We aim to give you strong controls on Our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from Us which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in Our emails and at the point of providing your details and by managing your Account).<\/p>\n You may also wish to sign up to one or more of the preference services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service (\u201cthe TPS\u201d), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (\u201cthe CTPS\u201d), and the Mailing Preference Service (\u201cthe MPS\u201d).
