5. Who we share data with
We may share personal data with service providers that support email, cloud hosting, software delivery, security, professional advice and business administration, but only where there is a legitimate need. We may also disclose information where required by law or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
6. International transfers
Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we use an appropriate recognised transfer mechanism or rely on another permitted safeguard.
7. Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including to meet contractual, tax, accounting, security and legal requirements. Enquiry data that does not lead to an engagement is periodically reviewed and deleted when it is no longer useful or necessary.
8. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict your personal data, object to certain processing, and receive data in a portable form. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting earlier processing.
To exercise a right, email hello@meridianswe.com. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
