Your Responsibilities Under the Personal Data Protection Laws
It is important to note that you also have responsibilities when it comes to Data Protection.
One such important case is where you may request from us a copy of the information about the data we store. We are obliged to ensure that the request is legitimate and does in-fact originate from you.
In this regard, we will undertake steps to verify the legitimacy of the request, before releasing such information. If you do not cooperate in this, or we cannot reasonably verify legitimacy, we may not release such information in a timely manner. To act otherwise could represent a significant breach of privacy.
As such, we request your full cooperation in this regard – any requests on our part to verify your request will be undertaken solely to protect against breach of your personal information.
Consent Withdrawal
Where we’re relying upon your consent to process personal data, you can withdraw this at any time by contacting us using the details below. You can withdraw from cookie consent here.
Automated Decision Making
We sometimes make decisions about you using only technology, where none of our employees or any other individuals have been involved. We’ll do this where it is necessary or is based on your explicit consent. An example might be where you have checked a box on a form to receive a specific kind of email from us, which is processed via a service. The system will automatically add you to relevant mailing list, for that interest. Similarly, if you unsubscribe via a link in an email from us, that will result in an automated removal from that mailing list.
Data Retention Period
Data Retention Period is the period for which the personal data will be stored, or if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period.
Unless we explain otherwise to you, we’ll hold your personal information based on the following criteria:
- for as long as we have reasonable business needs, such as managing our relationship with you and managing our operations
- for as long as we provide services to you
- retention periods in line with legal and regulatory requirements or guidance
If none of these criteria apply, we commit to purging any Personal Data no later than 36 months following your latest interaction/exchange with our services.
Example of long-term data retention
We are required by law to be able to report sales and tax information for up to 10 years. In this case we must retain any pertinent information of these transaction. We will have no choice to but to refuse any requests to erase this type of information from our records as they are required by law.
Changes to this Privacy Notice
We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time by updating this page to reflect changes in the law and/or our privacy practices. We encourage you to check this Privacy Notice for changes whenever you visit our websites.
