Where is your information stored?

Wherever possible, all the personal information we process is processed within the UK or European Economic Area (EEA).  Some of our third-party service providers, are based outside the UK or EEA so their processing of your personal information will involve a transfer outside the UK or EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal information outside of the UK or EEA, we do our best to make sure a similar degree of security of personal information by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission; or
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission or Information Commissioner’s Office which give personal information the same level of protection.

Sharing your information

Other than in the following circumstances, we do not share your information with any other organisations or individuals unless we are obliged to by law, for purposes of national security, taxation or criminal investigations:

  • If you have agreed that we may do so.
  • If we sell the business – the new owner may obtain subscriber and past client and participant information. This information would only be used for the same purposes for which it was originally obtained.
  • If we run an event in partnership with other named organisations, your details may need to be shared. We will be very clear what will happen to your personal information when you register.

And we will never sell or rent your personal information to other organisations.

Retaining your information

We hold your information only as long as necessary for each reason that we use it. For example, your email address on our subscriber list will be held for as long as you are a subscriber. If you become a client, we will retain financial information for up to seven years for accounting purposes. During the retention period we ensure the security and integrity of the information.

Securing your information

Raptor have put in place security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorisation. We ensure that only those employees and partners, who need access to your personal information as part of their business role, are given access.
