Contract – where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

Legitimate interests – where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests or those of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Our legitimate interests may include operating and developing our business, communicating with existing and prospective clients and professional contacts, providing services to our clients, maintaining business relationships, promoting our services, protecting our business and systems, and understanding and improving the effectiveness of our website and communications.

5. Marketing communications

We may send relevant business-to-business communications where permitted by law and where we believe those communications may be of legitimate professional interest to you.

Where consent is required for a particular type of electronic marketing, we will obtain it before sending those communications.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by using any unsubscribe option included in our communications or by contacting us at info@stbridespartners.co.uk.

We will retain sufficient information to record your preference and ensure that we respect your request.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we require them to protect it appropriately and use it only for the purposes for which it has been provided.

7. International transfers

Some of the organisations and technology providers we use may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure it remains protected in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Depending on the destination and circumstances, this may include relying on UK adequacy regulations or putting appropriate contractual safeguards in place.

You can contact us if you would like further information about safeguards relating to international transfers of your personal information.

8. How long we keep your information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements.

The appropriate retention period will depend upon factors including:

• the nature and sensitivity of the information;

• why it was collected;

• our relationship with you or your organisation;

• applicable legal or regulatory requirements; and

• whether the information may be required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Where information is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it.

This may include your contact details, employment and education history, qualifications, experience, references and other information you choose to provide.

We use this information to assess your suitability for current or potential opportunities, communicate with you during the recruitment process and meet our legal obligations.

Where appropriate, we may ask whether you would like us to retain your information for consideration for future opportunities.

10. Keeping your information secure

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised or unlawful access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

While we take reasonable steps to safeguard information, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis upon which we process your information, UK data protection law gives you various rights. These may include the right to:

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
