To deliver our services it might be necessary for us to share some of the information we’ve explained above with other parts of our business to deliver those services or with partner organisations. We’ve noted these in the first column of the table above.

Any data we share is processed on our strict instructions and we do not allow our third party service providers to use your data for their own purposes, we check that they can and do comply with data protection legislation and make sure they treat your data with respect and keep it safe and secure at all times.

How long we will keep your personal data and where in the world it’s held

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six yearsafter they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statisticalpurposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

We store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the EEA. These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. Because of this we take additional steps to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the Data Protection Legislation as follows:

We use specific contracts with external third parties that are approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to third countries. These contracts require the same levels of personal data protection that would apply under the UK Data Protection Legislation.
