We do not transfer your information to anyone for marketing purposes without your consent. However, it may be necessary for us to share your personal information with third parties in the following circumstances:-
We aim to retain all of your personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA) although there may be occasions where it is necessary to transfer your personal data outside the EEA. When required to do so, we will ensure this is performed in accordance with legal requirements. By submitting your personal data to us, you agree that we may send your personal data outside the EEA if required. If you wish for more information about these safeguards, then please make contact with us using the contact details below.
Please note that until your personal data reaches us (for example by email or post), we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data and such transmission is at your own risk. Any personal data submitted online via www.alanpaine.co.uk will be direct to us and secure.
We will not retain your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers to provide information to Government organisations, for instance with regard to Value Added Tax (VAT) accounting, and to enable us to fulfil our legal duties with regard to record keeping.
If your online customer account has been inactive for three years, we will contact you to ask if you wish for your online account to remain open. If you do not reply by confirming you wish for your account to remain open, we will close it and delete your personal data. You may close your account and request that we delete your personal data at any time.
We will cease to process your information for marketing purposes when you ask us to do so and / or withdraw any consent you have given us.
We will delete any of your information which we are not legally required to retain on receipt of a formal request to do so.
We would like to send you information about our products and services which may be of interest to you.
