How we share your Information

In certain circumstances we will share your Information with other parties. Details of these parties are set out below along with the reasons for sharing it.

a/ Trusted third parties: In order to provide certain services, we will share your information with third party service providers such as IT infrastructure companies and email logistics providers. We will not share your data with any third party where it is not necessary to do so to provide a service to you;

b/ Regulatory and law enforcement agencies. As noted above, if we receive a request from a regulatory body or law enforcement agency, and if permitted under GDPR and other laws, we may disclose certain personal information with the new owners of the business or company and their advisors

How long we hold your Information

We will only retain your information for as long as is necessary for the purpose or purposes for which we have collected it. The criteria that we will use to determine retention periods will be determined by the nature of the data and the purposes for which it is kept. For example, if we receive your Information through an enrolment entry, we will retain your data for as long as is necessary to administer the enrolment. If we receive your Information when you apply for a job, we will retain your data for as long as it is necessary to process your application and maintain application statistics. We will not directly market you for longer than three (3) years, unless you consent to receive direct marketing by opting in again before the expiry of that three (3) year period. In certain circumstances, once we have deleted or anonymised your data, we may need to retain parts of it (for example, your email address), in order to comply with our obligations under GDPR or other legislation, or for fraud detection purposes.

We will keep all data that we have to report to any Government Agencies for the period required by them. In the case of NHS Track and Trace, this period is 21 days.

If we refuse your request, or any element of it, we will provide you with our reasons for doing so;

b/ Right of Correction or Completion.
