We may also need to share personal information with other parties, such as external contractors and our professional advisers and potential purchasers of some or all of our business or on a restructuring. Usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible.

Government and law enforcement bodies

We may disclose your personal information as permitted by law in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected or confirmed illegal activities, violation of our intellectual property rights, violation of our Terms and Conditions or other agreements, or as required by law or by a government or law enforcement body.

We will inform you at the point of collecting personal information from you, whether you are required to provide the personal information to us or not and if you do not provide the personal information what the consequences are. We will notify you of any changes to the personal information we collect from you or to the purposes for which we collect and process it.

We will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and when it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymise it. Different retention periods apply to the different types of personal information we use.

Under data protection law, we can only use your personal information if we have a proper reason. The main reasons we have for using your personal information are as follows:

• where you have given consent;
• to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
• for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract;
• to protect your vital interests or those of another third party; or
• for our legitimate interests or those of a third party.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your personal information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We will carry out an assessment when relying on legitimate interests, to balance our interests against your own. You can obtain details of this assessment by contacting us – see ‘How to contact us’ below.

In addition to consent, performance of a contract, and our legitimate interests, we may also process your data on the basis of 'Recognised Legitimate Interests' for specified public interest purposes—such as safeguarding vulnerable individuals or preventing crime—without needing to conduct a balancing test against your individual rights.

The table at the end of this Privacy Policy below called “More about the personal information we collect and hold” explains what we use your personal data for and why.

To achieve the reasons we described above for using your personal information, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA), e.g.:

• with your and our service providers located outside the UK or EEA
• if you are based outside the UK or EEA

These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law. Prior to permitting such transfers, we carry out assessments to ensure that the standard of protection for your personal information in the destination country is not materially lower than the standard in the UK. Our standard practice is to use standard data protection model contract clauses or other appropriate safeguards that meet the UK's data protection test (ensuring the standard of protection is not materially lower than in the UK), which have been approved by the UK Government, the Information Commission’s Office (ICO), or the European Commission.

If you would like further information please see ‘How to contact us’ below.

• Not to be subject to decisions without human involvement – not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. We do not make any such decisions based on data collected by our Websites.

• The right to withdraw consents – you have a right to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal information easily at any time. Withdrawing a consent will not affect the lawfulness of our use of your personal information in reliance on that consent before it was withdrawn.
