If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data in compliance with the above policies without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

How and why we share your information

We may share personal information with third parties, including third party service providers, where it is

required by law;
necessary to administer our business relationship;
necessary to fulfil a contract;
necessary for us to provide the services to you; or
where we have another legitimate interest in doing so.

The following are potential recipients of personal data (in each case including respective employees, directors and officers):

Sub-contractors, suppliers, agents, consultants, or service providers such as software/hosting providers, insurance brokers, compliance and IT firms;
Bankers, auditors, accountants, investment brokers, managers or advisers, legal and other professional advisers of Sevoria or its clients;
Company formation agencies and registries;
Land or property agents and registries;

Law enforcement agencies where considered necessary for Sevoria to fulfil its legal obligations.
In the event of a sale, merger, re-organisation or transfer of business assets, personal data may be transferred to the successor entity (subject to appropriate safeguards).

When Sevoria engages a third party to process your personal data, we will require them to process it in accordance with our instructions and protect the data against unauthorized or accidental use, access, disclosure, loss or destruction. We do not allow them to use your personal data for their own purposes. They will only be permitted to process your personal data for a specified purpose and in accordance with our instructions. When they no longer need to process your personal data to fulfil the contract, they must transfer the data back to us and/or destroy or delete any data held by them in accordance with our instructions.

International transfers

Where we transfer your personal information outside of Guernsey and the European Economic Area (the "EEA"), we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements applicable to the information. This can be done in several different ways, for instance:

The country to which we send the personal information may have been assessed by the European Commission ("EC") as providing an "adequate" level of protection for personal data (this includes Guernsey, Jersey, the UK and the Isle of Man).
The recipient may have signed a contract based on standard contractual clauses approved by the EC.

In other circumstances, the law may permit us to transfer your personal information outside the EEA. In all cases, however, any transfer of your personal information will be compliant with applicable data protection law.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, altered, disclosed, used or accessed without authorisation. In addition, we restrict access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, consultants and third parties who have a business need to access the data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and/or any applicable regulator of an actual or suspected breach where we are legally obliged to do so.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes (set out above) for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy, which can be requested from the Data Protection Representative or your usual relationship contact. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential for harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the data, the purposes for which we process the personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Once our business relationship ends, we will retain and securely destroy your personal data in accordance with our record retention policy, applicable legislation and/or regulatory requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Request erasure below for further information. When digital records are erased, an offline archive may continue to exist within our backup library. It is our policy not to restore any individual’s data for which the “right to be forgotten” has been exercised.

In some circumstances we may 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.

Data Subject Rights

As a data subject, you have certain rights in respect of your personal data, as follows:

Right of access – to request a copy of personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing that data.
Right of rectification – to correct data we hold about you which is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right of erasure – to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it.
Right to restrict processing – to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reasons for processing it.
Right to object – to object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove personal data where you have exercised your right to object.
Right to withdraw consent – where we are processing your data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Right of portability – to ask us to provide your personal data to you or another controller in a structured, machine-readable format.

Exercising your rights

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at dataprivacy@sevoria.group and clearly identify who you are.

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.

You will not usually 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 may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
