8. TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION INTERNATIONALLY

The personal information we collect may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the UK and the European Union. Some of these jurisdictions require different levels of protection in respect of personal information and, in certain instances, the laws in those countries may be less protective than the jurisdiction you are typically resident in.

For further details please contact us by using the details set out in the “Contact Us” section below.

9. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR?

The duration for which we retain your personal information will differ depending on the type of information and the reason we collected it from you. However, in some cases personal information may be retained on a long-term basis; for example, personal information that we need to retain for legal purposes will normally be retained in accordance with the usual commercial practice and regulatory requirements.

Generally, where there is no legal requirement we retain all physical and electronic records for a period of 90 days after your last contact with us.

Exceptions to this rule are:

• Information that may be relevant to personal injury claims or discrimination claims may be retained until the limitation period for those types of claims has expired. For personal injury or discrimination claims this can be an extended period as the limitation period might not start to run until a long time after you have worked for us.

10. RELATION TO PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have the following rights in relation to your personal information:
• The right to be informed about how your personal information is being used;
• The right to access the personal information we hold about you;
• The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you;
• The right to request the erasure of your personal information in certain limited circumstances;
• The right to restrict processing of your personal information where certain requirements are met;

• The right to object to the processing of your personal information;

• The right to request that we transfer elements of your data either to you or another service provider; and

• The right to object to certain automated decision-making processes using personal information. You should note that some of these rights, for example the right to request us to transfer your data to another service provider or the right to object to automated decision making, may not apply as they have specific requirements and exemptions which apply to them and they may not apply to personal information recorded and stored by us.

For example, we do not use automated decision making in relation to your personal data. However, some have no conditions attached, so your rights to withdraw consent or object to processing for direct marketing are absolute rights.

Whilst this privacy notice sets out a general summary of your legal rights in respect of personal information, this is a very complex area of law.

More information about your legal rights can be found on the information commissioner’s website at https://ico.org/for-the-public/.

To exercise any of the above rights, or if you have any questions relating to your rights, please contact us by using the “Contacting Us” section below.

If you are unhappy with the way we are using your personal information, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or your local data protection regulator.

We are here to help and encourage you to contact us to resolve your complaint first.
