However, we may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below in order for us to provide products to you:

• Service providers who provide IT, delivery and administration services.

• Professional advisers including solicitors, financial authorities, auditors and insurance companies who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.

They will only process personal data on our instructions and must keep any personal data confidential.

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

Some of our third party service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA, usually to the USA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside of the EEA, your data remains secure by ensuring at least one of the following procedures is implemented:

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission; or
Where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the USA.

We will only retain your personal data 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.
