5. Your rights
You have a number of rights under data protection law although those rights will not apply in all cases or to all information that we hold, (for example, we may need to continue to hold and process information to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights):
- The right to be informed about how, why and on what basis we use your data;

- The right to data portability, the ability to obtain and reuse your personal data across different services; and

We have set out to demonstrate how we address your rights in this privacy notice.

Where we transfer information to third parties to enable them to process it on our behalf, we ensure that the providers meet or exceed the relevant legal or regulatory requirements for transferring data to them and keeping it secure.
We will also ensure that where information is transferred to a country or international organisation outside of the UK/EEA, we will comply with the relevant legal rules governing such transfers.
We keep your personal information no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

If we do hold information about you, please notify us if any of it has changed or is incorrect, we will be happy to update this for you.

These third parties may be based (or store or process information) in the UK or elsewhere including outside of the EEA.
We may also need to disclose personal data to third parties in order to provide our services. We will only provide them with the information they require and will only permit them to use the information for the required purpose.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and that it is not used unlawfully.
We may need to provide certain third-party organisations with your information if we have a legal obligation to do so or if we have to enforce our agreement.
