We primarily store and process your personal data in the United Kingdom (“UK”). If we do transfer your personal data outside of the UK it will be because we have a legitimate reason to do so in order to fulfil a service or contract.

Comply with all other data protection principles.
Where possible, be to a country that is on the list of the EU Commissions’ countries that provide adequate protections for the rights and freedoms of data subjects.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we use best practice to ensure your data is encrypted to the standard required in the GDPR to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data as it is transmitted and stored.
The Cardinal Partnership will not retain your personal information for longer than required.
We will keep your personal information:
For as long as required by law.
Until we no longer have a valid reason for keeping it.

We may keep just enough of your personal information to ensure that we comply with your requests not use your personal information or comply with your right to erasure. For example, we must keep your request to be erased even if it includes your personal data until such time as you are no longer our customer.
If you have questions about our Data Retention Policy, we can provide you a copy. Please contact: [email protected]
If the personal information is necessary in order to supply goods or services to you under a contract between you and The Cardinal Partnership, then we will not enter into that contract or provide the services or goods if you do not give us your personal information.
