  1. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may share your personal data with the parties shown and for the purposes listed in the table above. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Sometimes it may be necessary to transfer your data outside the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA), particularly to verify information you have provided to us. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure the party receiving it treats it with a similar degree of protection as we do. 

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, 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 they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

FOR HOW LONG WILL WEUSE YOUR DATA

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

When we decide how long to keep your data for, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of it, the purposes for which we process it and whether we can achieve those through other means, as well as the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

In some circumstances we might anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this anonymous information indefinitely. 

IT'S YOUR DATA, YOU 

HAVE THE RIGHT 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 data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good 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 successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. 

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data or ask us to suspend our processing of your personal data because: 

Request transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. This right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. 

Withdraw your consent to us processing your data at any time.  This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we have to keep a record of that request.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise the rights above. We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive and we can refuse to comply in these circumstances.

If you want to request, object or withdraw your consent to our processing <<data@islastewart.me>>

When you may a request, 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.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could 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.
