Why do we hold data?

What is the legal basis for processing data? 

Under GDPR there are six lawful reasons for processing data. These are consent, performance of a contract, legal obligation, to protect vital interests, public interest, and legitimate interest. All of the data that SE processes falls within these definitions. Careful consideration is given to each piece of data that we process in order to justify why we are holding it, and what is the legal basis for us to hold it.

Do we share data? 

In some circumstances we are required to share data with contracted partners in order to provide services. This could include circumstances where you have provided your data to one of our business partners, who subsequently transfer the data to us so that we can fulfil our contractual obligations. We also use third parties in order to fulfil some business functions, such as marketing or access to our web-based services. Whenever data is transferred, either to us or from us, we take steps to ensure both the integrity and the security of that data.

How long do we hold data?

We hold your personal information based on the following criteria:

• For as long as we have reasonable business needs, such as managing our relationship with you and managing our operations
• For as long as we provide goods and/or services to you and then for as long as someone could bring a claim against us; and/or
• Retention periods in line with legal and regulatory requirements or guidance.

What are your rights?

• The right to be informed about the processing of your personal information
• The right to have your personal information corrected if it is inaccurate and to have incomplete personal information completed
• The right to object to processing of your personal information
