  To better understand the visitors who come to our Website, where they come from, and what content on our Website is of interest to them. We use this information for internal analytics purposes and to improve the quality and relevance of our Website to our visitors. Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained further in our Cookies Policy

Recipients of personal data

We may share some of this information with:

• other third party organisations that provide services to us (for example,
  
  
  • service providers that support the delivery of, provide functionality on, or help to enhance the security of our Website;
  
  
  • service providers that provide us with website analytics and usage data to improve our Website such as Google Analytics; and
  
  
  • internet and cloud hosting services providers such as Amazon Web Services);
  
  
• any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary

Lawful bases for processing

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on to process your personal information are as follows:




If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to operate our Website and communicating with you as necessary to provide our services to you as set out in the table above.

We do not think that any of the above activities prejudice your rights. However, you have the right to object to us processing your personal information on this basis, as set out under the “Your data protection rights” heading below.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal bases on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Our contact details” heading above.

How we store your personal information

Your information is securely stored in a secure, encrypted database hosted by Amazon Web Services at their UK-based data centre.

We keep your personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will keep it until the earlier of

• the date on which our Website is taken down or


• the date on which you request that we erase your personal information (if applicable). We will then dispose of your information by securely deleting it from all database records.

International data transfers

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective). Specifically, our Website servers are located in Europe. This means that when we collect your personal information, we may transfer your personal information outside of the United Kingdom.

However, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These measures include only transferring your personal information outside of the United Kingdom where it is compliant with data protection legislation and the means of transfer provides adequate safeguards in relation to your personal information, for example:

• to third parties which are located in a country where there has been a finding of adequacy; or


• by way of a data transfer agreement with third parties incorporating standard contractual clauses.

For more information about these safeguards please contact us using the contact details provided under the “How to contact us” heading above. ]

Your data protection rights

Under data protection law, you have rights including:

• Your right of access – You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.


• Your right to rectification – You have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.


• Your right to erasure – You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances.


• Your right to restriction of processing – You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.


• Your right to object to processing – You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.


• Your right to data portability – You have the right to ask that we transfer the personal information you gave us to another organisation, or to you, in certain circumstances.


• Your right to opt out of marketing communications – You have the right to opt out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing e-mails we send you.


• Your right to withdraw your consent – If we have collected and process your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time using the contact details provided under the “Our contact details” heading above. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights. If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you.

Please contact us at malcolm.garrett@images.co.uk if you wish to make a request.
