Disclosure of Your Information to Third Parties

We may provide some parts of the XS Manchester Service through third party suppliers who need to have access to your personal information for that purpose. Such third party suppliers will be appointed as data processors in relation to your personal information on the basis that they provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures so that the processing will carry out processing only on our written instructions, ensure the protection of the rights of data subjects, and otherwise meet the requirements of the applicable Data Protection legislation.

XS Manchester may aggregate data and disclose such data only in aggregate and in a non-personally identifiable manner to third parties for marketing and promotional purposes (e.g., how many users responded to a particular competition or other offer, to perform statistical analyses of user behaviour and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the XS Manchester Website). Aggregated information does not identify any User individually.

We may disclose your personal information if it is necessary for us to do so in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation, or where we have legitimate interests in doing so, such as in order to enforce or apply our contract with you, to investigate potential breaches of contract, or to protect our property and rights or those of others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction, on the basis that it is necessary for our legitimate interests in protecting our business.

If another company acquires substantially all of our business or assets, that company will possess the same information and will assume the rights and obligations with respect to that information, and any transfer of your personal information will be made on the basis that it is necessary for our legitimate interests in transferring our business or assets.

Except as set out above, we will never sell, distribute or disclose any of your personal information (except anonymous aggregate information) with any third party without your express consent.

Keeping your personal information up to date

We rely on you to provide accurate personal information when you register for the XS Manchester VIP Service.

We encourage you to promptly update your personal information if it changes.

Security of Your personal information

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information you provide, or we collect from you, both during transmission and once we receive it. But no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100 percent secure. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, but we cannot take responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal data that is beyond our control.

How long do we keep personal information for?

If you contact us with an enquiry but do not register for the Service, we do not store your data other than on the email you have sent us. If you register for the Service, we normally retain your personal information for 6 years. It may be longer if it is clear that you wish us to continue to retain it either by you indicating this is the case or by making it clear through your actions, for example still using the Service.
In certain case, it may not be physically possible to delete certain data (for instance, where it is stored on a secure external server), in which case we will take appropriate steps to ensure that it is not available for re-use or disclosure to third parties.

Your rights as a data subject

As a data subject you have certain legal rights (subject to certain exceptions under the applicable Data Protection legislation) including the right:
• to access the personal information held about you;
• to ask us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes;
• to withdraw at any time any consent you have given to receive marketing material from us, or in any other case where we process your personal information on the basis of a consent that you have given (and not on some other legal basis);
• to ask us to rectify inaccurate personal information about you;
• to ask for the restriction of personal information concerning yourself that is inaccurate, unlawfully processed, or no longer required;
• to ask for the transfer of your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format where the processing is based on your consent;
• to ask for the erasure of personal information concerning yourself where processing is no longer necessary, or the legitimate interests we have in processing your personal information are overridden by your interests, rights and freedoms as the data subject; and
• to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Where we store your data

The personal information that that you provide or we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) for our own administration purposes. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for one of our third-party suppliers. Countries outside the EEA include those whose laws provide for a lower standard of protection for personal information than in the United Kingdom. However, we will ensure that contractual or other safeguards are in place to ensure that your personal information is adequately protected, and that enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available for data subjects.

Links

The Site may contain links to unaffiliated third party websites. A link does not constitute an endorsement of the content, viewpoint, accuracy, opinions, policies, products, services, or accessibility of that website.

Once you link to another website from the XS Manchester Website, you are subject to the terms and conditions of that website, including its privacy policy, and we therefore suggest that you read the privacy policies on all third party websites.
