We keep Personal Data that we obtain that we obtain about you for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.
Transferring Data Overseas
Content such as Webinars, Videos and Podcasts are made available to audiences over the internet. As such, this material may be accessed globally.
In some cases, we or our suppliers may need to process Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and/or United Kingdom (UK). Where this is the case, we will only share the minimal amount of Personal Data necessary for the purpose of processing and, where possible, we will share the Personal Data in an anonymised form.
Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the UK, 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;
- where we use certain processors, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK which give Personal Data the same protection it has within the UK. When we rely on this measure we will ensure that the third-party can comply with the provision of such contracts and we have confirmed that the country to which the Personal Data is transferred has adequate data protection laws in place to protect Personal Data.
Please contact us at data.protection@icaew.com if you would like further information about the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data.
