The Personal Data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the European Economic Area including but not limited to the USA.  We will take all steps reasonably necessary and available to us to safeguard and ensure that your Personal Data is treated securely and in accordance with applicable laws, which may include having in place a contract with the recipient to ensure the security of your personal data in accordance with data protection laws or only transferring to US companies who have certified under Privacy Shield to keep your personal data secure.

We may also share Personal Data about you if we are required to do so in order to comply with any legal obligation or to protect our legal rights (or those of our clients).

YOUR RIGHTS

We try to be as open as we reasonably can about the Personal Data that we process.  If you would like specific information, just ask us at privacy@curtisbrown.co.uk.

You have legal rights (i) to make a “subject access request” to access your Personal Data; (ii) to request and be given your Personal Data in machine readable format for the purposes of your passing such data to third parties; (iii) to request rectification or removal of your Personal Data and/or to have its processing restricted; and (iv) to object to processing of your Personal Data for a particular purpose  where we rely on “legitimate interests” as our legal basis for that particular use (as we’ve pointed out to you in this Privacy Policy), in which case you should let us know your reason for your objection. Please note that we may still process your Personal Data where there are other relevant lawful bases we rely on or where we have compelling grounds to continue processing your Personal Data, despite your objections.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, or otherwise have any questions about how we handle data, please contact us at privacy@curtisbrown.co.uk, with details of your request.  In the case of subject access requests please ensure that you add “subject access request” into the subject line of your email.

In relation to subject access requests, we will respond as soon as possible but no longer than one month after such request is received, or longer where permitted by and applicable under law.  Please note the rights above are not absolute and there may be circumstances where we are unable to comply with your request (either wholly or in part). In such cases we will explain why we cannot comply with the request. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is an appropriate security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

We will store and process your Personal Data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for us to perform the services/activities we are undertaking and to comply with our legal obligations. Once data is anonymised we may hold it indefinitely, without further notice to you.

Please note that our Website may, from time to time, contain links to and from third party websites.  If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies.

As you probably know, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.  Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data once transferred to us; any transmission is at your own risk.  Once we have received your Personal Data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

If you have complaints relating to our processing of your Personal Data, you should contact us in the first instance at privacy@curtisbrown.co.uk.  You may also raise complaints with the Information Commissioner who is the statutory regulator.
