Where data is stored and transferred

13. As part of the services offered to you, for example through our Website, the information you provide to us may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) as we use remote website server hosts to provide the website and some aspects of our service, which may be based outside of the EEA, or use servers based outside of the EEA – this is generally the nature of data stored in “the Cloud”. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for one of our suppliers, e.g. the website server host, or work for us when temporarily outside of the EEA.

14. A transfer of your personal data may happen if any of the servers are located in a country outside of the EEA or one of the service providers is located in a country outside of the EEA. If we transfer or store your personal data outside the EEA in this way, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected, as outlined in this privacy policy and in accordance with the DPA and GDPR. If you use the service while you are outside the EEA, your personal data may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with these services.

15. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal data, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

16. We may disclose your personal data outside of our business:

(a) in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; and

(b) if Day's Accountancy Services Ltd business is bought by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its clients will be one of the assets to transfer to the buyer. However any such transfer will only be on terms that the confidentiality of your personal data is protected and that the terms of this privacy policy will continue to be complied with by the recipient.

17. Otherwise, We will process, disclose or share your personal data only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or legal process served on us or the website.

18. You have the right to opt out of us processing your personal data for marketing purposes by contacting us at: enquiries@daysaccountancy.co.uk
