When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymise it.

Transferring your personal information out of THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN

To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the country you live in eg:

• with our offices or other companies within our group;
• with your and our service providers located outside the country or, if appropriate, EEA;
• where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you.

These transfers are subject to special rules in European and UK data protection law. This means we can only transfer your personal information to a country or international organisation where:

• the country the data is transferred to has similar laws relating to data;
• there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects; or
• a specific exception applies under data protection law

These are explained below.

Transfers with appropriate safeguards

We may transfer your data to a third country or international organisation on this ground where we are satisfied the transfer complies with data protection law, appropriate safeguards are in place, and enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available for data subjects.

Transfers under an exception

In the absence of appropriate safeguards, we may transfer personal information to a third country or international organisation where an exception applies under relevant data protection law, eg:

• you have explicitly consented to the proposed transfer after having been informed of the possible risks;
• the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between us or to take pre-contract measures at your request;
• the transfer is necessary for a contract in your interests, between us and another person; or
• the transfer is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims

We may also transfer information for the purpose of our compelling legitimate interests, so long as those interests are not overridden by your interests, rights and freedoms. Specific conditions apply to such transfers and we will provide relevant information if and when we seek to transfer your personal information on this ground.
