The countries where data will be stored, processed and transferred Your personal data collected by SIGCo may be stored and processed in the United Kingdom or any other country in which SIGCo or associated third parties maintain facilities. Should SIGCo need to transfer your personal data, SIGCo will take all reasonable measures to safeguard the transfer of your personal data to third parties in a manner that complies with the GDPR.

How long the data will be retained  Retention of specific records may be necessary for one or more of the following reasons:
  1. To fulfil statutory or other regulatory requirements.
  2. To evidence events/agreements in case of disputes.
  3. To meet our operational needs.
  4. To meet any historical purposes.

Personal data that is collected and subsequently never used for any business purpose will be reviewed and may be destroyed at SIGCo's discretion.

What happens if the data isn't collected Your personal data is required for communication and setting up a contractual agreement to provide products and services. Without this data SIGCo will not be able to communicate with you or enter into a contractual agreement with you. This includes both business and employment contracts.

SIGCo needs personal data to:
  1. enable consensual bilateral communications;
  2. engage in pre-contractual activities;
  3. honour contractual obligations; and
  4. enable it to employ people.

Without this data, SIGCo will not be able to perform these four primary activities.

The right to withdraw consent In situations where SIGCo requests and receives your consent to perform processing, we are also obliged to stop such processing if you decide to withdraw your consent. Withdrawing consent is as straightforward as giving consent. Withdrawing consent cannot be back-dated so it has no effect on processing already performed during the period of consent.

The right to access, change, delete, restrict, object, request a copy You have rights regarding the personal data we store on your behalf. These are:
  1. access to a copy of your personal data;
  2. object to processing that you object to; 
  3. stop receiving direct marketing material;
  4. object to decisions being taken by automated means;
  5. have inaccurate personal data rectified, blocked, erased or destroyed;
  6. lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office;
  7. claim compensation for damages caused by a breach of the GDPR.

Should you ever wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact the Data Protection Officer.

The right to complain to the regulator

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office if you think that your personal data has been inappropriately used.
