6.1 All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to Our Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
6.2 The data that we collect from or about you will be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) in the course of the activities of our support partners.

6.3 We will store your data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is originally collected, as explained in this Privacy Notice, or any other lawful purpose subsequently communicated to you. The retention period may therefore vary for different types of data, and depending on how and why it was gathered. Criteria relevant to determine retention periods include:
The Site may, from time to time, contain links to and from third party websites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that those websites have their own privacy policies. We do not control such third parties’ websites and as such do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.
8.1 We will not use your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
8.2 The GDPR provides you with rights (subject to certain exceptions, including as regards confidential and/or privileged information) to:
o the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed;
o you withdraw consent and there is no other legal ground for the processing;
o you successfully object to the processing pursuant to your right of objection explained below;
o the personal data has been unlawfully processed;
o the erasure is necessary for compliance with a relevant legal obligation that applies to us;
o you contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period enabling us to verify the same;
o the processing is unlawful, but you request restriction rather than erasure;
o we no longer need the data, but it is required by you in respect of legal claims;
o you have objected to the processing, until such that that we verify that there are legitimate purposes that justify such processing;
8.3 We will comply with any valid request for information under the rights explained above within one month, though we may tell you that this period is to be extended by a further two months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests. This will normally be provided free of charge. If the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to action the request.
8.4 The provision of personal data to us is not generally a statutory requirement. However, where you wish to instruct us, we are subject to regulatory requirements, including as regards money laundering, which require us to gather certain information or documents from you. Where the provision of data is a contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract, we will make that clear as part of the process by which the contract is concluded, which may include by way of terms of the contract. These provisions will also make clear the consequences of failure to provide such data.
8.5 Where the data is not a contractual requirement, you are not obliged to provide the data, but if you do not do so, we may be unable to offer certain benefits and functionality to you. For example, if you do not provide information regarding your health which is relevant to a legal case upon which we are acting, this may adversely affect our ability to represent you to the greatest possible extent.
