reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate
the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we
combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly
or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be
used in accordance with this privacy notice.

have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able
to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to
provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product
or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

this marketing).

compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the
processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please

5.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.
External Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.
Specific third parties such as GoCardless and Mailchimp (see EXTERNAL THIRD
PARTIES section of the Glossary for more information).
Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our
business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or
merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may
use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it
in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use
your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your
personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.


6.INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Some of our external third parties 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 ensure a similar
degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following
safeguards is implemented:
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by
the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in
Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the
transfer of personal data to third countries.
Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are
part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to
personal data shared between the Europe and the US. For further details,
see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by
us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.


7.DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data
from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised 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. They
will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a
duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach
and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally
required to do so.


8.DATA RETENTION
HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil 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
unauthorised 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.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Request erasure
below for further information.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no
longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we
may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

to your personal data. Please click on the links below to find out more about these

other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly
unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your
request in these circumstances.
WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your
identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of
your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not
disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to
ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may
take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made
a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.


10.GLOSSARY
LAWFUL BASIS
Legitimate Interest
means the interest of our business in conducting and managing
our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most
secure experience. 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 law). You can obtain further
information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential
impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.
Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the
performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request
before entering into such a contract.
Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal
data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we
are subject to.
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data(commonly known as a “data subject access
request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you
and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to
have any incomplete or in accurate data we hold about you corrected, though we
may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or
remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you
have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below),where we
may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase
your personal data to comply with local law.
Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of
erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the
time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate
interest (or those of a third party)and there is something about your particular
situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it
impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object
where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some
cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process
your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us
to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you
want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful
but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we
no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d)
you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have
overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide
to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured,
commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to
automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we
used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your
personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried
out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be
able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the
case at the time you withdraw your consent.
