When we use your personal information we are required to have a legal basis for doing so. There are various different legal bases on which we may rely, depending on what personal information we process and why.

The legal bases we may rely on include:

• consent: where you have given us clear consent for us to process your personal information for a specific purpose

• legal obligation: where our use of your personal information is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations)
• public task: where our use of your personal information is necessary for us to perform a task in the public interest or for our official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law

We routinely share information among companies within our own group.

We will inform you at the point of collecting information from you, whether you are required to provide the information to us.

Transfer of your information out of the UK and EEA

We may transfer your personal information to the following which are located outside the United Kingdom (UK) and European Economic Area (EEA) as follows:

United Arab Emirates (DIFC)

Such countries do not have the same data protection laws as the UK and EEA. While the European Commission has not given a formal decision that the above countries provide an adequate level of data protection similar to those which apply in the UK and EEA, any transfer of your personal information will be subject to appropriate safeguards (as permitted under the General Data Protection Regulation) that are designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal information. To obtain a copy of such safeguards, please contact our Data Protection Officer.

If you would like further information please contact our Data Protection Officer (see ‘How to contact us’ below). We will not otherwise transfer your personal data outside of the area comprising the UK and EEA or to any organisation (or subordinate bodies) governed by public international law or which is set up under any agreement between two or more countries.
