We may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties for the purposes set out in section 4 above:

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
6. International Transfers
Some of our third-party service providers are based outside the United Kingdom. This means that your personal data may be transferred outside the UK.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed by the UK to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK which give the transferred personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
7. Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
8. Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.
By law we are required to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for seven years after they cease being customers, for UK tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see section 9 below for further information.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us (see section 10 below). You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).
