subprocessors, service providers (for example of IT services), business partners and/or suppliers, in the course of undertaking marketing activities;

analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our marketing activities and the analysis of data supplied via the platform for contact enrichment and lead generation purposes; and government or other law enforcement agencies, in connection with the investigation of unlawful activities or for other legal reasons.

We require all our third party service providers and all other companies within our group to take appropriate and stringent security measures to protect your personal data in line with our policies. 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 in accordance with our instructions.

International Data Transfers

We operate as a global business and may transfer, store, or process your personal data in a country outside your jurisdiction, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we have taken appropriate safeguards with respect to the protection of your privacy, fundamental rights and freedoms, and the exercise of your rights. For example, if we transfer personal data from the EEA to a country outside it, such as the United States, we will implement an appropriate data transfer solution such as entering into EU standard contractual clauses with the data importer, or taking other measures to provide an adequate level of data protection under EU law.

 

Data Retention

We will not store your personal data for longer than is reasonably necessary to use it in accordance with this Privacy Statement or with our legal rights and obligations.

We will retain your personal data for a period consistent with the original purpose of collection (see the “How We Use Your Personal Data” section above).

For the avoidance of doubt, aggregated and anonymised data and any information other than personal data can be stored indefinitely.
