regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing, market research and communications. We have established the following personal data control mechanisms: </p><h3>Promotional offers from us </h3><p>We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing). </p><p>You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us, purchased goods or services from us or expressed an interest in our products and services or if you have attended one of our events and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing. </p><h3>Third-party marketing </h3><p>We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside of Ford Sinclair for marketing purposes. </p><h3>Opting out </h3><p>You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by <a href="#contact-us">contacting us</a>. </p><p>Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase or experience or other transactions. </p><h3>Cookies </h3><p>Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site about aspects of your visit. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies.

If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please <a href="#contact-us">contact us</a>. </p><p>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. </p><p>Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law. </p><h2 id="5">5.

Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.</li> </ul><p>We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. </p><h2 id="6">6. International transfers</h2><p>Wherever possible we do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (<strong>EEA</strong>). </p><p>Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (<strong>EEA</strong>) so their processing of your personal data may sometimes involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. </p><p>Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented: </p><ul> <li>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 European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.</li> <li>Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.</li> </ul><p>Please <a href="#contact-us">contact us</a> if you would like further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA. </p><h2 id="7">7. Data security</h2><p>We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. </p><p>We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. </p><h2 id="8">8. Data retention</h2><h3>How long will you use my personal data for? </h3><p>We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. </p><p>To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider 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 requirements. </p><p>By law we have to keep basic information about our clients and contacts (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being clients and/or contacts for financial and legal purposes. </p><p>In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see <a href="#14">Request erasure</a> below for further information. </p><p>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. </p><h2 id="9">9. Your legal rights</h2><p>Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

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. </p><h3>What we may need from you </h3><p>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. </p><h3>Time limit to respond </h3><p>We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may 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. </p><h2 id="10">10. Glossary</h2><h3 id="20">LAWFUL BASIS </h3><p><strong>Legitimate Interest</strong> means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by <a href="#contact-us">contacting us</a>. </p><p><strong>Performance of Contract</strong> means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract. </p><p><strong>Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation</strong> means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to. </p><h3>THIRD PARTIES </h3><h3>External Third Parties </h3><ul> <li>Design, marketing and production service providers, operating in the EU, who provide design and marketing communications and set design, photography and filming before, during or after one of our events.</li> <li>Charitable organisations with whom we raise funds at some of our awards and events and share money and gift aid information.</li> <li>Hotel partners, where we host our awards and events, who provide venues and hospitality to our guests.</li> <li>Joint venture partners, with whom we organise our awards and events, who assist with the planning and implementation of our awards and events.</li> <li>Digital service providers acting as processors, operating in the EU, who provide a number of services, including but restricted to hosting, SSL, data analysis, CRM, video streaming, social media and sharing services.</li> <li>Professional advisers acting as processors including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the United Kingdom and the US who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.</li> <li>HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities acting as processors based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.</li> <li>Marketing services providers acting as processors including mailing and survey companies operating in and outside of the EU who provide distribution, reporting and analysis of emails and surveys.</li> </ul><h3>YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS </h3><p>You have the right to: </p><p id="12"><strong>Request access </strong>to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. </p><p id="13"><strong>Request correction </strong>of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. </p><p id="14"><strong>Request erasure </strong>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. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. </p><p id="15"><strong>Object to processing </strong>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. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. </p><p id="16"><strong>Request restriction of processing </strong>of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. </p><p id="17"><strong>Request the transfer </strong>of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. </p><p id="18"><strong>Withdraw consent at any time </strong>where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>   <div class="modal fade" id="cookie" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="Cookies policy" style="display: none;"> <div class="modal-dialog" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button> <h2>Cookies</h2> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <h3>Introduction</h3><p>Ford Sinclair Limited("Ford Sinclair") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data.
