Legal basis for Processing Personal Data
In order to collect, process and share personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, we rely on a number of separate and overlapping legal bases, including where:
- consistent with obtained consent, for example, where you have opted-in to receive our marketing information, we may use your information to send you news and newsletters, special offers, and promotions, or information we think may interest you;
- necessary for the legitimate interests of us or of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your interests or rights;
- necessary to comply with our legal obligations
- We may process personal data on more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using that data. We only use personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we believe that we need to use that personal data for another reason that is compatible with the original purpose or as applicable law permits.
How we protect your information
The security and privacy of personal information is treated as an extremely serious matter and priority. We have put in place various security procedures as set out in this Privacy Policy, which include (by way of example and without limitation) the following appropriate technical and organisational measures:
- The website uses an SSL certificate which both verifies our identity and secures the safe transmission of information between your browser and our server.
- Daily malware scans are conducted to detect any malicious hacking attempts which may compromise the security of our site.
- The site contains articles and information for your reference only.
- We do not ask for any financial (e.g. credit card or account numbers), health or other sensitive information.
- Strict internal policies and procedures apply in relation to the storage, access and disclosure of personal information.
Transfer of information
In connection with one or more of the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, we may generally disclose details about you to: affiliates, owners / investors, professional advisors and third parties that provide services to us or any such parties (such as IT systems providers, platform providers, financial advisors, consultants (including lawyers and accountants), providers of HR and recruitment services and other goods and services providers (such as providers of marketing services where we are permitted to disclose your personal information to them), intermediaries, brokers, and other individuals and entities that partner with us, competent authorities (including any national and/or international regulatory or enforcement body or court or other form of tribunal, where required to do so by applicable law or regulation at their request), and any central or local government department and other statutory or public bodies.
There may be a need to transfer your personal data out of the country in which it was originally collected. For personal data collected in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), this may mean transfers outside the EEA. You should be aware that these countries may not have similar data protection laws to the EEA. In such cases, we will ensure that there are adequate safeguards in place to protect your personal information with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Policy (for example, without limitation, by putting in place standard contractual clauses, ensuring appropriate encryption or similar protections are in place, and ensuring adequacy of the processes and procedures in place at the data importer(s)). If you object to your personal information being transferred or used in this manner please do not register with or use the site.
How long we keep your personal information
Your personal information will be held on our systems for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with legal, regulatory or internal policy requirements.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
