If none of these obligations apply we will delete your personal data within 12 months of your account being closed, although we will retain de-personalised information after your account has been closed.
Complaints: If you have any complaints about our use of your information, please contact us as set out at the end of this privacy policy or contact the “ICO” (Information Commissioner’s Office), being the supervisory authority for the United Kingdom.
For the purpose of GDPR (the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the data controller is Risk and Safety Plus (RS+) Limited, a private limited company, registered in England, with Company Number 08199146, whose registered office is at Hannaways, Trios House, Reform Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire, SL6 8BY.
The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at, a destination outside the “EEA” (European Economic Area) and may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA, who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of the service or support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing outside of the EEA, although we will take all steps, reasonably necessary, to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
We always ensure that your information is only transferred in full accordance with UK data protection laws and / or the applicable EU data protection law. In particular, this means that your information will only be transferred to a country that provides an adequate level of data protection, or the recipient is bound by standard “EU Model Clauses”, according to conditions provided by the European Commission, although you are responsible for checking the privacy policy of any third-party linked websites.
Our service is intended to be accessible via the Internet and may, potentially, be accessed by any user around the world and other users may access the service from outside the EEA. However, although very unlikely, we may need to access your personal data from anywhere around the world and therefore a transfer of your data outside of the EEA may be deemed to have occurred and you consent to such transfer of your data for and by way of this purpose.
Where we have given you, or where you have chosen, a password that enables you to access certain parts of the service, you are responsible for keeping that password confidential and we request that you do not to share any password with anyone.
The transmission of information via the internet is, unfortunately, not completely secure and although we will do our very best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any data you transmit to our service, which is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, however, we will use strict procedures and security features to endeavour to prevent unauthorised access.
The service may contain links to and from third party websites of our partners, networks, advertisers and affiliates and if you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and we cannot and do not accept any responsibility, or liability, for the privacy practices, or content, of these websites.
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy, at any time and any amended privacy policy will be posted on our websites and notified to you by email, where appropriate. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy, which was updated on 25 May 2018, to coincide with the commencement of GDPR and replaces any other privacy policy, previously applicable, from this date.
Questions, comments and requests regarding this privacy policy are welcomed and should be forwarded, by email, to: info@riskandsafetyplus.com.
