8. Sharing your data with third parties?
In limited circumstances we may need to share your personal data with some of our service partners.
These include our third-party IT providers, payment processing companies and delivery companies.
Belfield Group only allows its service providers to handle your personal data when we have confirmed
that they apply appropriate data protection and security controls. We also impose contractual
obligations on service providers relating to data protection and security, which mean they can only
use your data to provide services to Belfield Group and to you, and for no other purposes.
We will share personal information within our Group and with others outside Belfield Group Limited,
where we need to do that to make products and services available to you, market products and
services to you, meet or enforce a legal obligation or where it is fair and reasonable for us to do so.
We will only share your personal information to the extent needed for those purposes.
In addition, we will disclose your personal information to the relevant third party in the event that we
sell or buy any business or assets or are acquired, in which case we will disclose your personal data to
the prospective seller or buyer as appropriate in order to maintain service and business continuity.
9. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?
Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. We will only store or transfer your personal data in the UK. This means
that it will be fully protected under the UK GDPR.
If in future we do need to transfer your data outside the European Economic Area, we will only do so
if adequate protection measures are in place in compliance with data protection legislation.
10. How long do we keep your personal information for?
How long we keep your personal information for depends on the products and services we deliver to
you. We will never retain your personal information for any longer than is necessary for the purposes
we need to use it for.
For further information regarding this please see our Retention and Disposal Schedule which sets out
the types of personal data held by us, the time period for which that personal data is to be retained,
the criteria for establishing and reviewing such periods, and when and how data is to be deleted or
disposed of.
11. How Can I Access My Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal
data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “Subject Access
Request”.
We ask that you please make your subject access request either verbally or in writing please use the
contact details which are set out in Part 12.
The request will normally be complied with free of charge. However, we may charge a reasonable fee
if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or if it is repetitive. In addition, we may charge a
reasonable fee if you request further copies of the same information. The fee charged will be based
on the administrative cost of providing the information requested.
We will respond to your subject access request within one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to
provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time.
In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up
to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed
of our progress.
