  • Regulators, authorities, and other third parties. Sometimes we may have a legal obligation to share your personal data with regulators, courts, and other authorities (e.g. tax and law enforcement authorities).

As you may expect, some of the recipients we share personal data with may be in countries outside of the jurisdiction which we collect the data from. Some of these countries have a legal regime which provides an adequate level of protection for this data.

If recipients are in countries which do not provide adequate protections for personal data, we will take all necessary measures to ensure that transfers of personal data to these countries are adequately protected as required by applicable data protection law. This may include using appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Data Protection Clauses. You can ask for a copy of such appropriate safeguards by contacting us as set out below.

We won't keep it for any longer than we need to, either to comply with the law or to ensure that we are complying with our obligations to you. Generally, we will keep personal data for as long as necessary for the original reasons we collected it.

We may keep your personal data for a longer period:

  • in the event of a complaint,
  • if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of legal proceedings,
  • if we are aware of pending or ongoing legal proceedings, or
  • in some circumstances, if applicable law says we must.

If you opt in to receive marketing from us, we will keep your relevant information for as long as you are receiving marketing. If you later decide to opt out (or object to any other use of your personal information), we may keep a record of your opt-out or objection so we can respect your preferences and demonstrate our compliance.

Where personal data is kept, that period will be determined based on the applicable local law. Please contact us as set out below to request further information.
