We may disclose your personal data to other members of our group, the Board of the Company, third parties who are providing services to us, including IT service providers, event management, PR and marketing service providers, processors of the company (including printers, registrars, administrators) telephone service providers, document storage providers and backup and disaster recovery service providers.
We will only retain your data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including 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 data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Some of the external service providers used by us may be based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever your data is transferred out of the EEA by us, we ensure (or require that our service providers ensure) a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that appropriate safeguards, as required by applicable law, are in place.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your data. This is merely a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to anyone who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information concerning your request to speed up our response.
