All personal data is stored securely in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (GDPR). Under the GDPR we will ensure that your personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, without adversely affecting your rights. We will only process your personal data if at least one of the following bases applies:

• It is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of yourself which require protection of personal data; or
• In some cases, it is necessary to meet our legal or regulatory responsibilities, such as disclosures to authorities, regulators or government bodies; or

Data Retention

The Company will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary. Different laws require us to keep different data for different periods of time.

We must keep your payroll records, holiday pay, sick pay and pensions’ auto-enrolment records for as long as is legally required by HMRC and associated national minimum wage, social security and tax legislation.

Where the Company has processed your personal and/or sensitive personal data, we will do so in line with our retention policy (see Appendix 1). Upon expiry of that period the Company will seek further consent from you should it wish to extend the period. Where consent is not granted the Company will cease to process your personal data and/or sensitive personal data.

Examples include the hosting and/or maintaining of website content, or the provision of certain features contained on the Website, and the provision of marketing services.

• To government or law enforcement authorities if we determine in our sole discretion that we are under a legal obligation to do so.

We do not sell, trade or rent any personal information to others.

We shall only transfer your data outside the EU to countries which the European Commission believes offers an adequate level of protection to you, or where the Company has put in place appropriate safeguards to seek to preserve the privacy of your information.
