Where we store your personal data

If your personal data cannot be stored or processed within the EEA, we will:

Your Rights

It may be necessary to transfer your personal information to our subsidiary Companies or our appointed agents located in countries outside of the EEA. This may happen where our servers, agents or suppliers are based outside of the EEA. The data protection and other laws of these countries may not be as comprehensive as those in the UK or the EU – in these instances we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights are respected.

We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by the law).

“Both ‘Legal rights/basis/reason’ and ‘the law’ means a legal, statutory or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.”
