Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.
We may collect, use and/or share Special Categories of Personal Data about you (which may include information about your health, genetic and biometric data, details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions and/or trade union memberships). Your explicit consent will be obtained by us where any Special Categories of Personal Data is collected, used or shared.

We share information with the following third parties:
Some of these third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in, amongst others, the following countries: United States of America, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Russia.
If we do transfer your information from the EEA to a jurisdiction outside the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to protect that information, which includes the following: (i) Entering into an agreement with the third party which includes clauses that the EU Commission has determined offer adequate protection for your information, a template copy of which is available at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en; or (ii) Otherwise ensuring that information would only be transferred to third parties in jurisdictions that the EU Commission has determined offers adequate protection for your personal information.

If you have subscribed to us or agreed to be on a contact list to receive information from us, you can ask to be removed at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in any e-communications, or by emailing compliance@huntsworth.com.
If you have any questions about these rights, or you would like to exercise any of them, please contact us by submitting a request to compliance@huntsworth.com – additional details of how to get in touch are set out in section 10 below.
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.
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.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
Our policy is to destroy employment applications one year after their submission if they have not led to an offer of employment, unless during the submission process you agreed to a longer retention period on the basis of being considered for future work opportunities we may have. If you are engaged with us ‘to perform a contract,’ then local market data retention legislation may apply to elements of the information you supply to us.
Any other information obtained as set out in section 2 above will be kept for no longer than is necessary and will be determined with reference to applicable statutory limitation periods in your jurisdiction, or otherwise as agreed between us.
We will keep our data retention policy under review to ensure that your data is not stored for longer than is strictly necessary.
