Legal BasisOur legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or (iii) where we have your consent to do so. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to provide our services to you, respond to your queries, undertake marketing activities, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities. We may have other legitimate interests and if appropriate we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contacting Us” heading below.

How Collected Personal Information May Be SharedWe may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:

• to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person;
• to an actual or potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any actual or proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Notice;
• to any other person with your consent to the disclosure.

Your personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or service providers and your information may be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, including to the United States, which may provide for different data protection rules than in your country.

Appropriate contractual and other measures are in place to protect personal information when it is transferred to our affiliates or third parties in other countries, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, which require recipients of personal information to protect personal information they process from the EEA in accordance with European Union data protection law.

Information RetentionYour personal information will be retained for as long as needed or permitted for the purpose(s) for which it was collected. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

• Our ability to provide products and services;
• Requirements to conduct audits;
• Our need to pursue legitimate business purposes;
• Ability to enforce our agreements and comply with applicable laws.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
