5.1. Communications
To continually improve the effectiveness of our customer service communications, we may examine e-mail communications with you for effectiveness. Insofar as this communication relates to European Union or European Economic Area (EU/EEA) customer services, such analyses are performed on the basis of anonymized e-mails. We anonymize these e-mails in accordance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation and local law before transmitting them to a processor / service provider outside of the EU/EEA for their analysis. In the unlikely case that data are re-identified after transfer, the security of your data will be protected by appropriate safeguards, including but not limited to Model Clauses pursuant to the European Commission’s decision (C(2010)593) of 5 February 2010 on Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection (“Model Clauses”).
5.2. Where we store your personal information
Please be aware that the personal data you share may be transferred, and stored, outside of the EU/EEA, and in a database and on servers in the United States and other countries in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in your country of residence or citizenship. Such transfers will occur only where appropriate safeguards are in place, including but not limited to Model Clauses.
5.3. Legal Basis for Processing
We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have a legal basis including performance of a contract (where processing is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract with you), consent and legitimate interests. We may process your personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests, provided that such processing does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object. Please keep in mind that if you object this may affect our ability to perform certain services for your benefit.
We process your personal data based on legitimate interests in order to:
5.4. European Supervisory Authority
You have the right to register a complaint with a European data protection or supervisory authority about our collection and use of your personal information.

6. PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCESS REQUESTS
You may: (i) request information on and access to the personal information We hold about you; (ii) request that any inaccurate personal information We hold be corrected; (iii) to object to certain types of processing of your personal information We carry out (including the right to opt-out of any direct marketing); (iv) request that We delete the personal information We hold about you; and (v) request a copy of your personal information in a machine readable, commonly used format (or to request We transfer your personal information in such a format to a third party service provider).
Whilst some of these rights can be exercised by you directly through this Website, many of the rights, such as those relating to requests to delete your personal data, will need to be submitted to Us as detailed in the “How to Contact Us” section of the Privacy Notice.
We will consider such requests and respond to you. If we deny an access request, we will notify you of the reasons for the denial. We may charge you a small fee and may require verification of your identity before providing a copy of your information as permitted by law.
7. DATA RETENTION
We retain the personal data that we collect from you no longer than is necessary except where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with the services you requested or to comply with an applicable legal requirement).
8. SECURITY
We maintain certain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to help protect against loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your personal information. However, no electronic data transmission or storage of information can be completely secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or that we acquire. Accordingly, you must use our Website at your own risk.
If, despite all our efforts, a data breach does occur, we shall do everything reasonably practicable to limit the damage. In case of a data breach, and depending on the circumstances, we will inform you about remedial actions to prevent any further damage.
