- We may process your Personal Information for purposes necessary for the performance of our contract with you, or for steps preparatory to entering into a contract with you, and to comply with our legal obligations.

This includes processing for marketing, business development, statistical and management purposes.
- We may process your Personal Information for certain additional purposes with your consent, and in these limited circumstances where your consent is required for the processing of your Personal Information then (i) we will request such consent from you separately, and (ii) you have the right to withdraw your consent to processing for such specific purposes.
- Please note that we may process your Personal Information on more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data.
- Where we need to use your Personal Information for another reason, other than for the purpose for which we collected it, we will only use your Personal Information where that reason is compatible with the original purpose. Should it be necessary to use your Personal Information for a new purpose, we will notify you and communicate the legal basis which allows us to do so before starting any new processing.
- If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have entered into with you, or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations.
4. **Data Retention**
We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected. When assessing what retention period is appropriate for your Personal Information, we take into consideration:

“Third parties” includes third-party service providers. The following activities are carried out by third-party service providers: IT and data storage services, professional advisory services, clearance and payment services, administration services, marketing services, and banking services.
All of our third-party service providers are required to take commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. We only permit our third-party service providers to process your Personal Information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
We may share your Personal Information with other third parties, for example in the context of the possible sale or restructuring of our business, where an external organization conducts an audit or undertakes quality checks for us, or where sharing with third parties is appropriate in order to provide our services to you. We may also need to share your Personal Information with a regulator or to otherwise comply with the law. We may disclose your Personal Information in order to protect our rights or property or those of our customers or others.
6. **Transferring Personal Information outside the EEA**
We are based outside the EEA and accordingly we will process your Personal Information outside of the EEA. If any third parties by whom your Personal Information is to be processed are also based outside the EEA so that their processing of your Personal Information will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA, we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your Personal Information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Information by the European Commission.
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give Personal Information the same protection it has in Europe.
- Where the third parties are based in the US, we may either use the above contracts approved by the European Commission or we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to Personal Information shared between Europe and the US. https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework
7. **Data Security**
Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of individuals, Consolto maintains, and shall maintain, appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing Personal Information.
We have put in place commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. 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.
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.
8. **Your rights**
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
- Request access to your Personal Information. This enables you to receive details of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are processing it lawfully.
- 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. It is important that the Personal Information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your Personal Information changes of which we need to be made aware.
- Request erasure of your Personal Information, also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. 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).
- 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 processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes.
- 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.
- 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 (e.g., in relation to any direct marketing which you have indicated you would like to receive from us), you have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of your information for that purpose at any time.
- Request the transfer of your Personal Information to another party.
If you want to exercise any of the above rights, please email support@consolto.com
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. Please note that 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. You can exercise this option at any time by contacting us by email at support@consolto.com. Once we have received notice 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.
