6. DATA RETENTION

I may retain your personal data in order to operate my business, for example, in order to keep a record about your enquiry or the services provided to you and comply with my legal and accounting obligations. The length of time I retain it is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which I use that information and my obligations under other laws.

 

7. DATA SHARING

I will never give your data to third parties for that third party to use, unless required to provide you with the services you have requested and in the ordinary course of my business. For example, I use third party services to:

  • provide me with an online calendar of my client bookings and appointments;
  • back up your photographs securely;
  • host my website antoniaward.com; and

I will always make sure that the third party providers are reputable and secure, that your data is only used for specified purposes, and that your data is kept safe. I will never sell your data to third parties.

Some of the third party providers used for the above purposes are based outside the European Economic Area. Where information is transferred outside of the EEA, I will use my best endeavours to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information to the same or an equivalent level as would be found in UK and EU data protection legislation.

 

8. DATA SECURITY

I maintain strict security measures in order to protect personal data, for example by using encryption and password protection measures.

 

9. RIGHTS OF ACCESS, CORRECTION, ERASURE AND RESTRICTION

You have the right to access your personal data and may request that I rectify or erase personal data or restrict the processing of your personal data or object to the processing (unless I can demonstrate legitimate grounds for the process which overrides your interest and rights or due to legal claims).
