We require all our data processors and any other third party that we provide Data Subjects’ personal data to respect the security of Data Subjects’ personal data and to treat it in accordance with applicable law.

  1. COOKIES

We deploy and use cookies on our Website.  Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit.  They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.  We use certain cookies on our Website and platforms.

There are four types of cookies that we use:

  • Necessary Cookies
  • Functional Cookies
  • Analytics Cookies
  • Advertising Cookies.

These cookies perform different functions as explained in Part D of Schedule 1 (Definitions).  We use both first party and third-party cookies.  First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting.  Third party cookies are set by a domain which is different to the website you are visiting.  Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies.  Session cookies are cookies which are deleted when you close your internet browser.  Persistent cookies stay in place after you have closed your browser, for example, a cookie which tracks whether you are a new or return visitor to the Website.

Necessary Cookies will always be active on your device, but we ask for your consent to place Functional, Analytics and Advertising Cookies and other similar technologies on your device.  If at any time you want to change your cookie settings, including withdrawing your consent to this processing, we would encourage you to do this via the links below.  You may need to refresh the page before the changes to the settings take effect.  Please see our cookie banner on our Website for more details.

Many web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

  1. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Personal data may be transferred, stored, and accessed within the EEA or the UK or transferred to, stored in, and accessed from countries outside the UK or EEA in order to fulfil the purposes described in this Notice.  For transfers to countries outside the UK and the EEA, the data protection regime may be different than in the country in which the Data Subject is located and may not provide the same level of data protection.  Therefore, whenever we transfer personal data out of the UK and the EEA, we will rely on, to the extent necessary under the GDPR, appropriate “adequacy decisions”, safeguards (including Standard Contractual Clauses), or derogations.

Where the jurisdiction to which we transfer your personal data from the UK and/or the EEA is not recognised as a jurisdiction deemed as providing adequate protection by the European Commission or the Information Commissioner’s Office, the appropriate safeguards that we rely on and have in place, where necessary, are the EU 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs“), the UK International Data Transfer Agreement and the UK Addendum to the SCCs (as applicable). If, however, an adequacy decision does apply, we will rely on that adequacy decision.

Data Subjects can obtain more information about the countries to which their personal data is transferred and copies of the additional measures put in place by contacting us using the contact details at section 12 (How to Contact Us) below.

  1. AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING

We do not make any decisions regarding Data Subjects solely using automated decision making (including profiling) based on Data Subjects’ personal data.

  1. RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA
