• where you have consented before the processing;
• where we need to perform a contract we are about to enter or have entered with you;
• where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; and/or
• where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

1. Purposes for which we will use your personal data

1. Data security

1. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access the App and/or our Services, you are responsible for keeping that password confidential. We ask you not to share that password with anyone.

1. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way. 

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

1. Data retention

1. We do not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which we collected it or to comply with any legal obligations. By law we have to keep basic information about the users of our App and we may keep this information for up to six years.

1. In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

1. In the event that you do not use the App for a period of 24 months then we will treat the account as expired and your personal data may be deleted.

1. Your legal rights

1. Under certain circumstances you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your         personal data:

• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data 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 data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with any laws. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

• Object to processing of your personal data 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 as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (i) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (ii) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (iii) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; and/or (iv) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. 

• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

1. You also have the right to ask us not to continue to process your personal data for marketing purposes. 

1. You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting us using the contact details set out above at clause 3.3.
