6. DATA SHARING
Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties
We may share your personal data with third parties where required by law, or where it is
necessary to perform our contract with you or where we have a legitimate business interest
in doing so.
“Third parties” may include third party service providers, being parties, for example, which
provide software, technical or professional services to us, and may also include other
members of the Synnovia group, for example as part of a sales or project process or fulfilling
our contract with you.
Any third-party service provider with whom your personal data has been shared will be
required to take appropriate security measures to protect such data in line with our policies
and the law and to process your personal data only for specified lawful purposes in
accordance with our instructions and not for their own purposes.
Transfer outside the EU
We will not transfer your personal data outside the EU without your consent and then only
on terms approved by us.
7. DATA SECURITY
Security Breach
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent personal data from being
accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed and to deal
with any suspected data security breach.
We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally
required to do so.
Limiting Access
We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other
third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data
on our instructions and will be subject to a duty of confidentiality.
8. DATA RETENTION
Length of Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes it was
collected for, including the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting
requirements.
By law, for example, we are required for tax purposes to keep certain information about our
customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for a period of time
after they cease being customers.
Determination of Retention Period
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount,
nature, and sensitivity of your personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised
use or disclosure of your personal data, the purpose for which such data is being processed
and any applicable legal requirements.
9. YOUR RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH DATA
Access, Correction, Erasure and other Rights
By law you have the right in certain circumstances to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access
request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you
and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to
have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected if it is
wrong.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or
remove personal data where there is no lawful reason for us continuing to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you
have exercised your right to object to the data being processed (see below).
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate
interest (or those of a third party) and your particular circumstances justify your
objecting to processing on this ground.
Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask
us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example, if you want us
to establish its accuracy or the lawful basis for processing it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to another party.
Procedure
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Manager in
writing.
No Fee Usually Required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other
rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded,
repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these
circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and
ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This
is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no
right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to
your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us
longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of
requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
10. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT
In those circumstances where you have provided your consent to the collection, processing
and transfer of your personal data for a particular purpose, you have the right to withdraw
your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please
notify our Data Protection Manager in writing.
Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no
longer process your data for the purpose you originally agreed to, unless there remains
another lawful basis for doing so.
