uses of your personal data are:
Where we need to perform the contract between us.
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third

you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to
marketing at any time by emailing us via our contact page.

We may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground, depending

unsubscribe button at the bottom of one of our emails. Or by contacting us
directly via our contact page.
Where you opt out of receiving our marketing communications, this will not

purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other
transactions.
Change of purpose
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected
it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason
and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to find
out more about how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the
original purpose, please email us via our contact page.
If we need to use your personal data for a purpose unrelated to the purpose
for which we collected the data, we will notify you and we will explain the
legal ground of processing.

DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for
the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above:
Service providers who provide IT and system administration services.
Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers
who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities based in the

Third parties to whom we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business
or our assets.
We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the
security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified
purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer
the same levels of protection to your personal data, so European law has
prohibited transfers of personal data outside of the EEA unless the transfer
meets certain criteria.
Many of our third parties service providers are based outside the European
Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a
transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we do our best to
ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the
following safeguards is implemented:
We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been
deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the
European Commission; or
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or
codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European
Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
Where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer data
to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to
provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and
the US.
If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit
consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this
consent at any time.
Please email us via our contact page if you want further information on the
specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of
the EEA.
DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal
data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized 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 such data. They will only process your personal data
on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we
are legally required to do so.
DATA RETENTION

the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying
any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider
the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk
of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the
purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve
those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including
Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they
cease being customers for tax purposes.
