When we use your personal data, we make sure that such usage complies with applicable law. The law allows or requires us to use your personal data for a variety of reasons. These include instances where:

We may disclose your personal data to our affiliates for the purposes described above. We will take steps to ensure that the personal data is accessed only by employees of such affiliates that have a need to do so for the purposes described in this notice.

We may also share your personal data outside of BCM and our affiliates:

• with our business partners who are contractually obliged to comply with appropriate data protection obligations
• if we sell any of our business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer for due diligence purposes;
• if we are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by us about you will be disclosed to the third party buyer;
• to third party agents or contractors (for example, administrators, BCM’s auditors, professional advisors, IT and communications providers, background screening providers, and credit reference agencies) for the purposes of providing services to us. These third parties will be subject to confidentiality requirements and appropriate data protection obligations; and
• to the extent required by law, for example if we are under a duty to disclose your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the United Kingdom. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the United Kingdom who work for our affiliates or for one of our suppliers.

Where we transfer your personal data outside the United Kingdom, we will ensure that it is protected in a manner that is consistent with how your personal data will be protected by us in the United Kingdom.This can be done in a number of ways, for instance:

• the country that we send the data to might be approved by the United Kingdom;
• the recipient might have signed up to a contract based on “model contractual clauses”, for example approved by the United Kingdom, the European Commission, or other jurisdictions, obliging them to protect your personal data; or
• where the recipient is located in the US, it might be a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme.

In other circumstances the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your personal data outside United Kindom. In all cases, however, we will ensure that any transfer of your personal data is compliant with data protection law.

You can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal data when it is transferred outside the UK under a written contract (including a copy of the standard data protection clauses which we have entered into with recipients of your personal data) by contacting us in accordance with the “Contacting us” section below.

How long we hold your personal data for will vary. The retention period will be determined by various criteria including:

• the purpose for which we are using it – we will need to keep the data for as long as is necessary for that purpose; and
• legal obligations – laws or regulation may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your personal data.

You have a number of legal rights in relation to the personal data that we hold about you. These rights include:

• the right to obtain information regarding the processing of your personal data and access to the personal data which we hold about you;
• the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data at any time. Please note, however, that we may still be entitled to process your personal data if we have another legitimate reason (other than consent) for doing so;
• in some circumstances, the right to receive some personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or request that we transmit those data to a third party where this is technically feasible. Please note that this right only applies to personal data which you have provided to us;
• the right to request that we rectify your personal data if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
• the right to request that we erase your personal data in certain circumstances. Please note that there may be circumstances where you ask us to erase your personal data but we are legally entitled to retain it;
• the right to object to, and the right to request that we restrict, our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. Again, there may be circumstances where you object to, or ask us to restrict, our processing of your personal data but we are legally entitled to continue processing your personal data and / or to refuse that request; and
• the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection regulator (details of which are provided below) if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.
