If you are using a mobile device in a public location, we recommend you always log out and close the website browser when you complete an online session.
In addition, we recommend you take the following measures to enhance your online safety:
- Keep your account passwords private.
- When creating a password, use a letter and number combination of at least 8 characters. Do not use a word that can be easily guessed such as your name, email address, or other personal data. It is also good practice to regularly change your password. You can do this in your account settings.
- Avoid using the same password for different online accounts.
We will not retain your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.
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.
For tax purposes we are legally obliged to keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, financial and transaction data) for six years after they cease being customers. For users that register via our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information. All password detail is encrypted.
In some circumstances, for example for research or statistical purposes, we may anonymise personal data. Anonymised data cannot be associated with an identified individual. We may use anonymised data indefinitely without further notice to you.
To deliver products and services to you, it is sometimes necessary to share your personal data outside of the European Economic Area (the EEA). This will typically occur when service providers are located outside the EEA or if you are based outside the EEA. These transfers are subject to special rules under data protection laws.
If we transfer personal data outside the EEA, we will ensure the transfer is compliant with data protection law and all personal data will be secure. Our standard practice is to assess the laws and practices of the destination country and relevant service provider and the security measures that are taken as regards the data in the overseas location; alternatively, we use standard data protection laws.
You have the following data protection rights:
- The right to be informed about our processing of your personal data.
- The right to request access to personal data we hold about you at any time.
- The right to ask us to update any out-of-date or incorrect personal data we hold.
- The right to object to processing of your personal data and/or to withdraw any consent you have given us and to opt out of marketing communications.
- The right to prevent processing that is likely to cause damage or distress.
- Certain rights in relation to automated decision making, including profiling.
- The right to request we erase your personal data, for example when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
