5. Where we hold and process your personal data
Some or all of your personal data may be stored or transferred outside of the European Economic Area (the EEA ) for any reason, including for example, if our email server is located in a country outside the EEA or if any of our service providers are based outside of the EEA.
Where your personal data is transferred outside the EEA, it will only be transferred to countries that have been identified as providing adequate protection for EEA data or to a third party where we have approved transfer mechanisms in place to protect your personal data – i.e., by entering into the European Commission's Standard Contract Clauses, or by ensuring the entity is Privacy Shield certified (for transfers to US-based third parties).
Please contact us on the email address set out in clause 10 if you require further information on the specific mechanism that we use when transferring your personal data outside of the EEA under this paragraph.
6. Security
We shall process your personal data in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. We do this by using appropriate technical or organizational measures, for example, all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers and our employees are required to comply with all applicable data protection laws.
If you are our client and you wish to send to us personal data to host on our platform, we shall both comply with our Information Transfer Policy.
Notwithstanding the above, you acknowledge that no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take these steps to secure your personal data, we do not promise that your personal data will always remain completely secure. If there is a security breach, we will do all that we can as soon as we can to stop the breach and minimize the loss of any data.
7. Your rights
You have a number of rights under applicable data protection legislation. Some of these rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included below. Further information can be found here.
