·        We may transfer your personal data to countries that the United Kingdom regulatory authorities have approved as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data; or

·        Where we use certain service providers who are established outside of the UK, we may use specific contracts approved by the ICO (the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses), or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the UK government, which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

If none of the above safeguards are available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

7.  DATA SECURITY

We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorisation.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive or refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

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.

Occasionally it may take us longer than one month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests, in which case we may extend the response period by up to a further two months. We will notify you within one month of receiving your request if an extension is needed and explain why.
