Storing and handling of information and data

 

We may use your personal information for a number of different purposes.  We need to use your personal information to enter into or perform the contract that we hold with you (e.g., we need to use your personal information to fulfil our contractual obligations and/or procure your services)

We have a legitimate interest in using your personal information (e.g., to keep business records of all third parties we engage, to review performance of business partners and suppliers and to manage our business operations) - when using your personal information for these purposes, we will assess our need to use your personal information against your rights to privacy to ensure that we are protecting your rights and interests.

 

Where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, we may share your personal data, in various ways and for various reasons:

 

We may share your personal information with third parties in certain circumstances. Such third parties may include our service providers (e.g., companies providing IT systems, software and support, document and information storage provisions, business support services such as marketing agencies, document processing, confidential waste disposal, couriers) as well as our professional advisors (e.g., legal counsel, auditors, tax advisors) and professional indemnity insurers (in the event of a claim or potential claim).

 

We may also share your personal information with law enforcement agencies, courts, regulators and governmental authorities where we believe this is necessary to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, to enforce any agreements between you and us, to resolve any dispute or otherwise to protect our rights and the rights of any third party.

 

We may also share your personal information with selected third parties in connection with any sale, transfer or disposal of our business.

 

We carry out due diligence on all third-party service providers with whom we may share your personal information and put in place appropriate contractual protections to protect the confidentiality and use of your personal information.

 

All information that you provide to us, or we collect about you is stored either on computers and IT equipment directly owned and controlled by us or on third party secure servers. We understand that this includes confidential information and we have put in place a range of suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure your information.

 

We will obtain your permission (before or when collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for marketing purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party (client).

 

We may share your personal information outside the United Kingdom (UK) in certain circumstances for example with your and our service providers or business partners located outside the UK.

 

Where we share your personal information with a service provider or business partner outside of the UK, we will take appropriate safeguarding measures to ensure that your personal information is secure and protected and we will comply with data protection laws.
