How long your personal data will be kept
We will not keep your personal data for longer than we need it for the purpose for which it is used. For example, if you unsubscribe to our email newsletter, your personal data will be deleted immediately.
Transferring your personal data out of the UK
The EEA, UK and other countries outside the EEA and the UK have differing data protection laws, some of which may provide lower levels of protection of privacy.
It is sometimes necessary for us to transfer your personal data to countries outside the UK. In those cases we will comply with applicable UK laws designed to ensure the privacy of your personal data.
We will transfer your personal data to:
• our service providers, specifically Mail Chimp, located outside the UK in the United States
Under data protection laws, we can only transfer your personal data to a country outside the UK where:
• in the case of transfers subject to UK data protection law, the UK government has decided the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy regulation’) further to Article 45 of the UK GDPR. A list of countries the UK currently has adequacy regulations in relation to is available here. We rely on adequacy regulations for transfers to the USA.
• there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for you, or
• a specific exception applies under relevant data protection law
Where we transfer your personal data outside the UK we do so on the basis of an adequacy regulation. In the event we cannot or choose not to continue to rely on either of those mechanisms at any time we will not transfer your personal data outside the UK unless we can do so on the basis of an alternative mechanism or exception provided by UK data protection law and reflected in an update to this policy.
Any changes to the destinations to which we send personal data or in the transfer mechanisms we rely on to transfer personal data internationally will be notified to you in accordance with the section on ‘Changes to this privacy policy’ below.
