Under General Data Protection, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.

7. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

 

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your personal data will therefore be kept for the following periods (or, where there is no fixed period, the following factors will be used to determine how long it is kept):

• For the duration of the period during which we continue sell and provide with our products and services in accordance with any business applications forms, credit forms;

We will only store or transfer your personal data in and to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, being the regions in which the Hobart Group has operations. As such, we undertake that your data stored in all these regions will be fully protected under the application General Data Protection legislation and regulations. Insofar as we may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein), which are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA, we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the United Kingdom and Ireland and under the application General Data Protection legislation and regulations, as follows:

• We share your data within the group of companies of which we are a part. Where this involves the transfer of personal data outside the EEA, our group ensures that personal data is protected by requiring all companies within the group to follow the same rules with respect to personal data usage. These are known as “binding corporate rules”. More information on binding corporate rules is available from the European Commission.
• We use specific contracts with external third parties that are approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to third countries.

These contracts ensure the same levels of personal data protection apply under the General Data Protection. More information is available from the European Commission.

Please contact us using the details below in Part 10 for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data to a third country.

• We may sometimes contract with certain third parties to supply products AND/OR services to you on our behalf. These may include payment processing, transportation and shipping and/or delivery. In some cases, those third parties may require access to some or all of your personal data that we hold. These third parties assist in our service to you, the customer.
• If any of your personal data is required by a third party, as described above, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law, as described above in Part 8.

9. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

 

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 10. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within 15 working days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
