By submitting your personal data to us you agree to the transfer, storage and processing of your information in a country other than your country of residence including, but not necessarily limited to, the United States.

Where we transfer your data to a Service Provider or affiliate that is outside of the UK we seek to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to make sure that your personal data is held securely and that your rights as a data subject are upheld. We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

Your personal data will not be kept for longer than is necessary to fulfill the specific purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, and to allow us to comply with our legal requirements.

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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, financial and transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for compliance purposes. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see ‘Your Rights’ below for further information, although this may not always be possible if we are obliged to retain the data for compliance purposes.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

You benefit from a number of rights in relation to your information that we process. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. We describe these rights below. In certain cases, such as for access to, rectification or deletion of your information, please be sure to read the options you have under the "Opting Out; Updating And Deleting Your Information" section above.

• Right of Access.
  You may contact us at privacy@p448.com to request a copy of your personal data. If requested and required to do so by applicable law, we will provide your information in an easily accessible format and assist in transferring some of this information to third parties as you request.
• Right to Rectify, restrict, delete.
  Please read the options you have under the "Opting Out; Updating And Deleting Your Information" section above.

Right to Object.
If we process your personal data based on our legitimate interests explained above, you can object to this processing in certain circumstances. In such cases, we will cease processing your information unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing (including if we are permitted to continue processing under applicable law) or where it is needed for legal reasons. Again, please be sure to read the options you have under the “Opting Out; Updating And Deleting Your Information” section above.

Right to revoke consent.
Where consent is required for processing under applicable law, you may have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you withdraw your consent to the use of your information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, you may not have access to all (or any) of our services and we might not be able to process or fulfill all (or any) of the transactions you request under this Privacy Policy. In certain cases, we may continue to process your personal data after you have withdrawn consent if we have a legal basis to do so, or if your withdrawal of consent was limited to certain processing activities.

If you have any complaints about how we handle your personal data, please contact us so we can resolve the issue where possible. You also have the right to lodge a complaint about any use of your personal data with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator.
