Perception DXS has a robust framework of policies and procedures that includes all legal, physical and technical controls involved in an organisation’s information risk management processes.

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 via our Websites; any transmission is at your own risk.  Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

We will keep personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

Perception DXS will determine an appropriate retention period for the personal data by taking account of the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data can be requested from us by contacting Perception DXS’ Data Protection Officer.

13. International Data Transfers

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to and/or processed in countries outside the United Kingdom (“UK”) by Perception DXS, its affiliated companies or processors acting on our behalf.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring either:

• The destination country has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; or
• An alternative safeguard for the transfer of data approved for use in the UK is used (e.g. the standard contractual clauses).

By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer and/or processing.  We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

14. Your rights

Under certain circumstances, you have the right by law to request:

• Access to your personal data (commonly known as a “Data Subject Access Request”).  This enables you to ask to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Correction of the personal data that we hold about you. You have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.
• Erasure of your personal data. You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information.
• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on our legitimate interest 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.
• Restriction of processing of your personal data.
• Transfer of your personal data to another party, or to you.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
