We also have CCTV in some of our offices for the purpose of crime prevention and where this is used, we will display appropriate notices. Some of the communal areas in our premises use CCTV for the purpose of crime prevention However, this is under the control of a third party and therefore you should consult any notices they display and their privacy statements for more information.

This may be without the use of a warning or warning tone, and you shall use reasonable endeavours to notify relevant staff and contractors that we may record telephone calls with them and procure that they consent to their conversations being recorded.

6. Our Security and Data Retention Measures
The Personal Information you provide to us will be transferred to and stored on our servers in the UK and we take steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.
We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as we reasonably require it and, in any event, only for as long as we have a legal basis, right or obligation to keep it.
Where you have chosen a password which allows you to access certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We advise you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and, although we will take steps to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted via the Website; any transmission is therefore at your own risk.
To protect your personal information from unauthorised access and use, we apply organisational and technical security measures in accordance with Data Protection Legislation. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings. We will notify you of any material personal data breaches affecting you in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Legislation.
7. International Transfers
In processing your Personal Information, it may be necessary for us to transfer your Personal Information outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be accessed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers or group companies. This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the provision of support services. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and the Data Protection Legislation when it is processed in, or otherwise accessed from, a location outside the EEA. We and any of our delegates and service providers will not transfer Personal Information to a country outside of the EEA unless we have your explicit consent to do so or that country (i) ensures an adequate level of data protection and appropriate safeguards are in place; or (ii) relies on one of the derogations provided under GDPR.
The European Commission has prepared a list of countries that are deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection which, to date includes Switzerland, Guernsey, Argentina, the Isle of Man, Faroe Islands, Jersey, Andorra, Israel, New Zealand and Uruguay. Further countries may be added to this list by the European Commission at any time. The US is also deemed to provide an adequate level of protection where the US recipient of the data is privacy-shield certified. If a third country does not provide an adequate level of data protection then we, or any of our delegates and service providers will ensure it puts in place appropriate safeguards such as the standardised contractual clauses for data transfers approved by the European Commission. Where any transfer takes place under a written contract, any individual whose data is transferred has the right to request a copy of that contract and may do so by contacting us using the details below. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the UK is no longer a part of the EEA, references in this paragraph to the EEA shall mean the EEA and the UK.
By submitting your Personal Information to us, you acknowledge this transfer, storing or processing of your Personal Information.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing or research purposes. If you have given us your express consent, or where we otherwise have the right to do so, we may use your Personal Information for marketing purposes. You can exercise the right to prevent such processing at any time by contacting us using the details set out at section 12 below.
