WHY WE USE YOUR DATA AND THE LEGAL BASIS FOR IT
Data Protection law says we must have a reason to use your data. This could be to fulfil a contract we have with you, when we have a legal duty to do so, where it is in our ‘legitimate interest’ or where you give us your consent.

When we have a commercial reason to use your information, this is called a ‘legitimate interest’. If we are going to rely on it as the reason for using your data we must tell you.

We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. If you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the table below.

WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). We will only send your data outside of the EEA to comply with a legal duty or work with our suppliers in providing products and services to you. If we do transfer your personal information outside the EEA to our suppliers, we will make sure that it is protected to the same extent as in the EEA. We will use one of these safeguards:

• Transfer it to a non-EEA country where the European Commission has deemed that such country provides an adequate level of protection for personal data.

• Put in place a specific contract approved by the European Commission with the recipient that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EEA.

• Transfer it to organisations that are part of Privacy Shield. This is a framework that sets privacy standards for data sent between the US and EU countries. It makes sure those standards are similar to what is used within the EEA.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

USES MADE OF THE INFORMATION
We use information held about you in the following ways:

• To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.

• To provide you with information that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.

• To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.

• To notify you about changes to our service.

WHO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH
We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 736 of the UK Companies Act 1985.

We may share your personal information with official bodies that include:

• HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other tax authorities;
• law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies; and
• outside companies we work with to provide services to you and to run our business.
• agents, suppliers, sub-contractors and advisers

We may also share your personal information if the makeup of our business structure changes in the future:

• In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.

• If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.

During any such process we may share your data with other parties involved. We will only do this if they agree to keep your data safe and private.

We may also share your personal data if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO GIVE US YOUR PERSONAL DATA
You can choose not to give us personal information. We may need to collect personal information by law, or to enter into or fulfil a contract we have with you. If you choose not to give us this personal information, it may mean that we cannot fulfil our contract with you, or do what we are required to do by law.

HOW TO WITHDRAW YOUR CONSENT
You can withdraw your consent at any time. Please contact us using kerstin@ridgeford.com if you want to do so. This will only affect the way we use information when our reason for doing so is that we have your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. This will not affect the lawfulness of our use of the data before your consent was withdrawn.
