If you wish to get an expla­na­tion as to how the pro­cess­ing for the new pur­pose is com­pat­i­ble with the orig­i­nal pur­pose, please con­tact us.

If we need to use your per­son­al data for an unre­lat­ed pur­pose, we will noti­fy you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your per­son­al data with­out your knowl­edge or con­sent, in com­pli­ance with the above rules, where this is required or per­mit­ted by law.

  • Where we use providers based in the US, we may trans­fer data to them if they are part of the Pri­va­cy Shield, which requires them to pro­vide sim­i­lar pro­tec­tion to per­son­al data shared between Europe and the US.

Please con­tact us if you want fur­ther infor­ma­tion on the spe­cif­ic mech­a­nism used by us when trans­fer­ring your per­son­al data out of the EEA.
