Also in the event that we sell any business or assets, we may disclose personal information we hold

about you to the prospective and actual buyer of such business or assets. If a change happens to our

business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy

Policy.

Please note that we do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own

purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance

with our instructions.

TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE EEA

We do not intend to transfer any personal data we hold about you to a country outside the European

Economic Area ("EEA").

If however we do transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we shall ensure a similar degree of

protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards applies: -

  • the countries to which it is transferred have been deemed to provide an adequate level of

          protection for personal data by the relevant regulators

  • we have put in place with the transferee specific contracts approved by the relevant regulators

          which give personal data similar protection to that it has in Europe; or

  • if the transferee is in the US, it is registered with the Privacy Shield (or any similar replacement

          scheme) which requires it to provide similar protection to personal data as is required in Europe.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally

lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your

personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need

to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of

confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and

any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it

for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and

sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your

personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those

purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see under YOUR RIGHT TO ACCESS YOUR

PERSONAL INFORMATION AND YOUR OTHER RIGHTS/to request erasure below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with

you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without

further notice to you.

We will take all reasonable steps to destroy, or erase from our systems, all the personal information we

hold about you when it is no longer required.

YOUR RIGHT TO ACCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND YOUR OTHER RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data

as follows:.

  • to request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This

          enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are

          lawfully processing it;

  • to request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any

          incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the

          accuracy of the new data you provide to us;

  • to request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal

          data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. It also enables you to request

          that we delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to

          object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or

          where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that

          we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which

          will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request;

  • to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or

          those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want

          to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and

          freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct

          marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate

          grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms;

  • to request restriction of processing your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the

          processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the

          data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c)

          where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish,

          exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to

          verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it;

  • to request transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third

          party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable

          format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided

          consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you; or

  • to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.

         However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your

         consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services

         to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us by using the contact details set

out below under "HOW TO CONTACT US" below

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).

However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

If you wish to exercise any of those rights we may need to request specific information from you to help

us confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any

person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in

relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a

month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will

notify you and keep you updated.

MANAGING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We want you to give choices regarding use of your personal information for marketing and advertising

purposes.

Moreover if at any time you believe that any personal data we are holding about you is inaccurate, out-of-

date or incomplete, please tell us by sending an email to privacy@thegoldenlarches.com and we will rectify

this.
