What is Personal Data?
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.

For What Duration Will We Retain Your Personal Data?
We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reasons for which it was first collected.
How and Where is Your Personal Data Stored
We may store and transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU Member States, plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the EEA under the GDPR.
We share your data within the group of companies of which we are a part. Where this involves the transfer of personal data outside the EEA, our group ensures that personal data is protected by requiring all companies within the group to follow the same rules with respect to personal data usage. In order to transfer personal data outside the EEA, we make use of Standard Contractual Clauses.
With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Data?
We may share your personal data with other companies in our group for the purpose of providing you with, or informing you about, our products and services. This includes subsidiaries and our holding company. We may sometimes contract with third parties to supply certain products and/or services. These may include payment processing, delivery, and marketing. In some cases, those third parties may require access to some or all of your personal data that we hold. If any of your personal data is required by a third party, as described above, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely and in accordance with your rights, our obligations and the third party’s obligations under the law. In any personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will take suitable steps in order to ensure that your we will take suitable steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the EEA and under the GDPR, as explained above. In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

How You Can Access Your Personal Data
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where such personal data is held). This is known as a “data subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the e-mail address shown below. There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within 30 days of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
Changes To This Privacy Policy
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time and we encourage you to review it periodically.
