5. Storage of Information

We have appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorised access and maintain data security of, and to use correctly, the information we collect online. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect.

Although, we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorised disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personal data that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Policy.

In addition, we (or third parties acting on our behalf) may also store or process information that we collect about you in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), which may lower the standards of data protection. We have put in place technical and organisational security measures to prevent the loss or unauthorised access of your personal information. However, whilst we have used our best efforts to ensure the security of your data, please be aware that we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the Internet.

6. Legal Basis for Processing Your Information

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally only collect personal information for you only (i) where we have your consent to do so, (ii) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, (iii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as the possible consequences if you do not provide your information).

Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information for our legitimate business purposes (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

7. Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose your personal information to third parties when permitted by law including:

(a) with your consent;

(b) to our suppliers in order for them to help us provide our services to you, including:

• partner organisations and subject matter experts that provide our service content;

• our customer relationship management services (which allows us, for example, to send personalised email communications to you);

• our file storage and management services if you email us directly;

• our payment service provider when you make a purchase to process your payment;

Such suppliers’ use of your personal data may be subject to their own privacy policies, which will be available either on their websites or contacting them directly, and which we suggest you familiarise yourself with in the relevant circumstances set our above.

(c) if we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your information to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets, provided that they continue to use your information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy;

(d) if all, or substantially all, of our assets, are acquired by a third party provided that they continue to use your information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy, in which case information held by us will be one of the transferred assets; and

This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

9. Your Rights

You have the following data protection rights:

• You can edit your personal details. We will maintain a procedure in order to help you confirm that your personal information remains correct and up-to-date or choose whether or not you wish to receive materials from us or some of our partners.

• You can object to processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your personal information or request portability of your personal information. Again, you can exercise these rights by contacting us using the contact details below.

• If we have collected and processed your personal information on the basis of your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

• If you have any privacy-related questions or unresolved problems, you may contact us using the information below.

• You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.
