10. Disclosure of Information
10.1. In the standard operation of our business, to answer your enquiries, to perform and administer the contract we enter into with you in accordance with our Terms of Business and to process payments, we may disclose your personal information to the following (who may be within or outside the European Economic Area):
10.1.2. our associated businesses;
10.1.3. our third party service providers, delivery agents, suppliers and professional advisors;
10.1.4. credit agencies;
10.1.5. successors in title to our business;
10.1.6. 
any organisation or person expressly instructed by you;
10.1.7. 
any relevant regulatory, governmental or law enforcement authority as required by law;
10.1.8. third parties necessary to provide the products requested by you or necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of our other customers, our employees, agents, consultants, suppliers or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction; advertisers and advertising networks that require the data to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others. We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we will provide them with aggregate information about our users (for example, we may inform them that 500 women aged under 30 have clicked on their advertisement on any given day). We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1). We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers’ wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.

10.2. We will endeavour to ensure that any transfer outside the EEA is lawful and that appropriate security arrangements apply.

10.3. In order to transfer personal information to third parties in territories that do not yet retain adequate privacy laws, we will look to enter into agreements with the parties to whom we may there transfer your personal information ensuring appropriate and suitable safeguards that would be accepted as adequate within the European Community.

10.4. We require that organisations outside of our business who handle or obtain personal information as service providers acknowledge the confidentiality of this information, undertake to respect any individual’s right to privacy and comply with the Data Protection Legislation and this policy.

11. Security of Information
11.1. We take the safeguarding of your data very seriously. All personal information in our possession is held securely. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

11.2. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers. Any payment transactions are encrypted (using SSL technology). In accordance with our Website Terms of Use, where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a username and password which enables you to open an account and/or to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this information confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

11.3. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Details of these measures may be obtained from info@gushlowandcole.com

11.4. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

12. Your duty to inform us of changes
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.

13. Data Retention
13.1. We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. We will keep under regular review the length of time we need to retain personal data and have put in place internal procedures for this purpose.

13.2. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. Once you are no longer a customer of Gushlow & Cole Limited we will retain and securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

14. Your rights of access, correction, erasure, and restriction

14.1. Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
14.1.1. Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

14.1.2. Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

14.1.3. Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

14.1.4. Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are improperly processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

14.1.5. Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

14.1.6. Request the transfer of your personal information to another party. 

14.1.7. If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact info@gushlowandcole.com in writing.

14.2 No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

15. What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

16. Right to withdraw consent
In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact info@gushlowandcole.com. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law. Please note however that withdrawing your consent is very likely to impact the services we can provide to you.

17. Questions, Comments and Complaints
If you have any questions concerning our Privacy Policy, or you would like to change your personal information, or you would like to make a complaint concerning any action of ours which you consider is in breach of our policy please contact our Compliance Department directly. We have appointed a data privacy manager to oversee compliance with this Privacy Policy who can be contacted at info@gushlowandcole.com 

We would hope to be able to deal with any complaint you may have to your satisfaction, but you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), at https://ico.org.uk/. The ICO is the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues. Our ICO registration number is ZA476923.
