We will only pass your data to third parties in the following circumstances:

• you have provided your explicit consent for us to pass data to a named third party; 

• we are using a third party purely for the purposes of processing data on our behalf and we have in place a data processing agreement with that third party that fulfils our legal obligations in relation to the use of third party data processors; or

• we are required by law to share your data. 

​

Rights you have over your data

You have a range of rights over your data, which include the following:

• Where data processing is based on consent, you may revoke this consent at any time and we will make it as easy as possible for you to do this (for example by putting ‘unsubscribe’ links at the bottom of all our marketing emails). 

• You have the right to ask for rectification and/or deletion of your information. 

• You have the right of access to your information.
