    We may have to share your data with third parties, including third-party service providers and other entities in the group.

    If we do, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal information.

    Why might we share personal information with third parties?

    Data security

    We have put in place measures to protect the security of your information. Details of these measures are available upon request.

    Third parties will only process your personal information on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat information confidentially and to keep it secure.

    We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

    We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

    Data retention

    How long will you use my information for?

    We will only retain your 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.

    Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal information are available from us at your request.

    To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, sensitivity of the personal date, 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 we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. Once you are no longer an employee, worker or contractor of the company we will retain and securely destroy information in accordance with our data retention policy.
