7. Will Limitless share your information with third parties?
For the purposes set out above, Limitless may have to share your personal data with the following parties:
- External Third Parties such as service providers who provide IT and system administration services; or professional advisors including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the United Kingdom who provide consultancy, legal, banking, accounting and insurance services; or HM Revenue & Customs, regulators or their authorities based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing in certain activities.
- Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or assets. 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 policy.
For information regarding specific third parties used by Limitless in relation to the Platform, please see the Limitless Platform Privacy Policy
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.
8. Where does Limitless store your personal data?
The data that Limitless collects from you will be stored on servers in the UK and the EU. The data that Limitless collects from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK and the EU.
Many of our external third parties are based outside the UK and EU so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK and EU.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK and/or the EU, 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 UK Government or European Commission adequacy decisions (as appropriate, depending on the transfer).
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK or the EU (as applicable) which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK or the EU (as applicable), these are known as Standard Contractual Clauses or SCCs.
- Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK and/or EU.”
9. How does Limitless protect your information?
Limitless endeavors to take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized 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. Where possible, Limitless uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of our personal data. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although Limitless will do its best to protect your personal data, Limitless cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted via the internet; any transmission is at your own risk. Once Limitless has received your information, Limitless will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
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.
10. Data retention
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.
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 unauthorized 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.
Where we have processed your personal data to provide you with marketing communications with consent, we may contact you at least every 12 (twelve) months, to ensure you are happy to continue receiving such communications. If you tell us that you no longer wish to receive such communications, your personal data will be removed from our marketing lists (but will be added to a “do not contact” list).
Where we have processed your data for any other reason (such as where you have contacted us with a question in connection with services), subject to the following paragraph, we will retain your data for 12 (twelve) months.
For information regarding the retention period of personal data when using the Platform, please see the Limitless Platform Privacy Policy.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see section 11 below for further information.
In some circumstances we may anonymize 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.
11. Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These rights are detailed below
- Request access 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.
- Request correction 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.
- 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. 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.
- Object to 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. 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.
- Request restriction of processing 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.
- Request the transfer 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.
- Withdraw consent at any time 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.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us directly.
No fee usually required
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.
Time limit to respond
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.
