The legal basis on which we carry out processing is in order to effectively operate our web site and maintain the security of it, as well as to deal with enquiries received through the site or via contact details made available on our site, and in order to provide information and services to you and to other users of the web site and our services and database, which together constitute our legitimate business interests.

The second legal basis upon which we collect and process your personal data relating to your payment of our charges is that we require this in order to perform our contract with you.

• banks, credit card, payment providers and processors and other financial services providers where required to take payment from you;
• credit reference agencies for the purpose of assessing your credit score where this is a condition of us entering into a contract with you.

We will disclose your personal information to third parties:

• In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we will disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
• If our company or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by us about our customers will be one of the transferred assets.

Where we store your personal data

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing where we need to do this. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Security

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Your rights

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data.  You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at info@rialtoconsultancy.com.

You also have the right to:

•  request access to and rectification or erasure of your personal data;

as such rights are further provided in accordance with Data Protection Law.

You can lodge a complaint regarding processing of your personal data by us with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Data retention period

We will keep your personal data for as long as you are actively using our site and services and for a reasonable period thereafter (in order, for example, to deal with queries or complaints, or to ask you to re-subscribe); once you stop or cancel your use or we cancel your use we will also be entitled to retain your personal data for as long as we need to do so in order to comply with any legal obligation on us or to defend or pursue any legal claims or to collect payment from you.  Personal data you have provided which we anonymise we are entitled to keep and process indefinitely.
