5. Who We Share Your Data With

We share your personal information with other companies in our group of companies as they help deliver the services associated with your use of the Website, including payment processing, customer service, IT services, security, compliance, and analytics.

We use carefully selected and trusted third parties who act as service providers to the Website.

Such third party entities mainly provide services in the areas of IT services and storage, business intelligence and analytics, compliance, finance and administration, and customer service.

7. What Are Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data?

All your rights as described below can be exercised by emailing our customer support team at contact us. There is usually no charge made by us for dealing with your requests.

However, if you make an unreasonable or excessive number of requests then we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administration fee.

We will deal with your requests within 60 days, and usually much more quickly.

Because we are extremely careful with your personal data and take the protection of your information very seriously we will need to verify your identity properly before we comply with any request from you, especially a request for you to receive copies of your personal information or for your information to be sent to another data controller. This identification process will probably include sending us a copy of your photo ID (usually your passport or driving license) and a photograph of you holding your photo ID up against your face. We reserve the right to ask for any other information required to identify you if we are in any doubt as to your identity.

You have the right to access your personal information that we hold. You have the right to have your personal data submitted to you by us in a structured, commonly-used and machine-readable format (where reasonably technically feasible), and you have the right to ask us to submit your personal data to another data controller.

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccuracies in your personal data.

We generally retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us and to comply with our legal, financial and tax obligations. If you no longer want us to hold your personal information you can ask us to delete it. If we delete all of your data then you will no longer be able to have an account on the Website and you will not be able to access the Website and its services in future. In such cases we retain enough information to be able to identify you in order to prevent you from opening new accounts on the Website. We will also need to retain enough information to comply with our legal, financial and tax obligations.

If you want only some parts of your personal information deleted then although your account will not be available to you anymore we may be able to allow you to open a new account on the Website. Our customer service team will be able to discuss this further with you.

We process your information for a number of reasons as described above. Applicable laws entitle you to require us not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes where such processing is based on a legitimate interest. If you object to such processing we will stop processing your personal data for these purposes. In specific situations we may have to refuse your request – for example, if we have legitimate grounds, such as a legal basis, to continue such processing or if we have to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Also, objecting to the processing of your data will likely mean that we will have to close your account on the Website and prevent you from opening new accounts in future.

You can ask us at any time to stop sending you marketing emails.

You can ask us to put a hold on the use of your personal data in the following situations:

• If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you;
• If you object to data processing based on legitimate interests;
• If you consider that the data processing in unlawful but you object to erasure and request restriction instead; or
• We have no further need for your data but you require us to retain it so you can establish, exercise or defend legal claims

Despite your request we may still continue the processing or your personal data if we have a legal basis for processing or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

If you are located in the EU and consider that our processing of your personal data infringes any applicable data protection laws you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

This privacy policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personal information to third parties relating to users of the Website.
