11.2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the services we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Your information will be held at our offices, by our Service Providers and in our IT provider’s data centres. In order for us to provide our services to you, from time to time we may have to share your personal data outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA). This could include where our service providers or its data centres are based outside the UK and EEA (for example our IT cloud services), if you are based outside the UK or EEA, if there is an international element to the services we are providing or if one of our employees need to access our data remotely from outside the UK or EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK or EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the Government and European Commission;
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the Government and/or European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in UK and Europe;
• The transfer of data to certain countries may require supplementary measures in addition to the specific contracts mentioned above such as redaction, encryption, anonymization or pseudonymization and data audits amongst other things;
• the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in your interest between us and a third party;
• Where the transfer is not repetitive, information is limited, the transfer is necessary for our legitimate interests and those interests do not override your own and we have put appropriate safeguards in place to protect your data.

We will also follow the Government’s guidance on international transfers to specific countries if and when it becomes available.

• have your data corrected, updated or amended. Please note that we may ask you to verify any changes to your data such as a proof of change of address or name;
• 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
• Object to and/or restrict 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.

• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party, for example if you chose to use another business to provide services to you.
