8. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?
Ammcore Consulting may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that Ammcore Consulting will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR as follows.
Please contact us using the details below in Part 11 for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by Ammcore Consulting when transferring your personal data to a third country.
The security of your personal data is essential to Ammcore Consulting, and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:
9. Do You Share My Personal Data?
Ammcore Consulting will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to one important exception.
In some limited circumstances, Ammcore Consulting may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if the Company is involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.]
10. How Can I Access My Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can request details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 11. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover the administrative costs in responding.
Ammcore Consulting will respond to your subject access request within 7 days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, Ammcore Consulting aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of the progress.
