Except as set out above, we will not disclose your personal data save where we need to do so in order to enforce this privacy policy, an applicable license agreement, our rights generally, or where required or permitted by applicable local or foreign law.
Whenever we share personal data, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that it is treated securely and in accordance with the law and this privacy policy. This may include without limitation aggregating or de-identifying information so that it is not intended to be used by the third party to identify you.
International transfers of data
As a global group we operate, and our website, products, and services are accessed from, all over the world. When you give us personal data, that data may be used, processed, or stored elsewhere in the world, including in countries that have data protection laws that are different to the country in which you reside. Generally data may be stored or processed by us in the EU or USA. In some circumstances data may be stored or processed in a location outside these areas where we have a group company office. However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal data will remain protected in accordance with this privacy policy. For EU originating data sent elsewhere, such as our Research and Development centre in India, we use EU model clauses to protect the data. Data held at our EU sites is covered under and in compliance with EU law in the relevant Member State.
Data Retention
Our standard policy is to retain data for 7 years from collection or last update. In some cases we may need to retain data for longer periods for legal reasons. In other cases such as marketing where details may change more often we will retain the data collected for as long as appropriate and in line with Direct Marketing Institute best practice guidelines. In all cases we aim to retain personal data we collect from you for as long as necessary for the purposes for which the personal data was collected or where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or regulatory requirements. Even if you close your account, we will retain certain information in order to meet our obligations. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either securely destroy, erase, 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
