9. How we protect your personal data
This section explains how we keep your personal data safe and where it will be held.
We take your privacy seriously and are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of the personal data you provide to us, and the choices you have regarding our collection and use of your personal data.
Once we have received your personal data, we follow strict security procedures as to how your personal data is stored and used, and who sees it, to help stop any unauthorised access.
The information that we collect from you may be stored at, and (if applicable) transferred to, a destination outside of the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). When we store your personal data outside of the United Kingdom and EEA we will ensure that it is adequately protected by using appropriate safeguards.
10. How long we keep your personal data for
This section explains the length of time that we will retain your personal data.
We will keep your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained. The criteria for determining the duration for which we will retain your personal data are as follows:
a) whether we maintain an ongoing relationship with you;
b) whether we have a lawful purpose to process your personal data (e.g. any laws requiring us to keep transaction records for a certain time period before deleting them); and
c) what the limitation period is under applicable law (i.e. any period during which any person could bring a legal claim against us in connection with your personal data, or to which your personal data may be relevant).
During the periods in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, we will restrict our processing of your personal data to the storage of, and maintaining the security of, those data, except to the extent that those data need to be reviewed in connection with any legal claim or obligation under applicable law.
After this period your personal data will be anonymised so that you are no longer identified or identifiable from such information.
Any third parties that we engage will keep your data stored on their systems for as long as is necessary to provide the relevant services to you or us. If we end our relationship with any third party providers, we will make sure that they securely delete or return your personal data to us.
We may retain personal data about you for statistical purposes. Where data is retained for statistical purposes, it will always be anonymised, meaning that you will not be identifiable from that data.
11. Your rights
Under certain circumstances, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. There are circumstances in which your rights may not apply. You have the right to request that we:
- provide you with a copy of the information we hold about you;
- update any of your personal data if it is inaccurate or out of date;
- delete the personal data we hold about you – if we are providing services to you and you ask us to delete personal data we hold about you then we may be unable to continue providing those services to you;
- restrict the way in which we process your personal data;
- stop processing your data if you have valid objections to such processing; and
- transfer your personal data to a third party.
For more information on your rights and how to use them, or if you would like to make any of the requests set out above, please contact us at enquiries@seatunique.com.
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. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
As explained in the section on Communications above, even if you consented to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes (by ticking the relevant box or by requesting information about services), you have the right to ask us to stop processing your personal data for such purposes. You can exercise this right at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the materials (e.g. the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails) or contacting us at enquiries@seatunique.com.
