   Your personal information may be accessed by staff or suppliers in, transferred to, and/or stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in which data protection laws may be of a lower standard than in the EEA. Regardless of location or whether the person is an employee or contractor we will impose the same data protection safeguards that we deploy inside the EEA.

2. 5.2

   Certain countries outside the EEA have been approved by the European Commission as providing essentially equivalent protections to EEA data protection laws and therefore no additional safeguards are required to export personal information to these jurisdictions . In countries which have not had these approvals, (see the full list herehttp://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.htm), we will transfer your personal information subject to European Commission approved contractual terms that impose equivalent data protection obligations directly on the recipient.

3. 5.3

   Where we use the service provider Rocket Science Group LLC [MailChimp], your personal information will be transferred to the USA, which have not been approved by the EU Commission to provide an essentially equivalent level of data protection. As Rocket Science Group LLC is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield., this safeguards an adequate protection of your personal data.

1. 6.1

   We will retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which it was collected and any other permitted linked purpose (for example certain transaction details and correspondence may be retained until the time limit for claims in respect of the transaction has expired or in order to comply with regulatory requirements regarding the retention of such data). So if information is used for two purposes we will retain it until the purpose with the latest period expires; but we will stop using it for the purpose with a shorter period one that period expires.

2. 6.2

   We restrict access to your personal information to those persons who need to use it for the relevant purpose(s). Our retention periods are based on business needs and your information that is no longer needed is either irreversibly anonymised (and the anonymised information may be retained) or securely destroyed.

   1. (a) use to perform a contract: in relation to your personal information used to perform any contractual obligation with you, we may retain that personal information whilst the contract remains in force plus a further 6 years to deal with any queries or claims thereafter; and

   2. (b) where claims are contemplated: in relation to any information where we reasonably believe it will be necessary to defend or prosecute or make a claim against you, us or a third party, we may retain that information for as long as that claim could be pursued.
