We take your privacy very seriously. Please read this privacy policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are and how and why we collect, store, use and share your personal information. It also explains your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us or supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.
We collect, use and are responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are subject to the Data Protection Act 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation, which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws. Where you reside in a country outside the UK/EEA, we will comply with local laws relating to your data.
It would be helpful to start by explaining some key terms used in this policy:

We may use your personal information to send you updates (by email, text message, telephone, post or through our application) about our products and/or services. We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal information for promotional purposes, which means we do not usually need your consent to send you promotional communications. However, where consent is needed, we will ask for it separately and clearly.
We will always treat your personal information with the utmost respect. You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time by contacting us at dpo@ixensor.com. We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you instruct us to provide further products and/or services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.
We routinely share personal information with:
We only allow our service providers to handle your personal information if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect it. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers to ensure they can only use your personal information to provide services to us and to you. We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. We may also need to share some personal information with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a re-structuring; usually information will be anonymised, but this may not always be possible, and the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations.
Information may be held at our offices and those of our group companies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above.
We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us, or while we are providing products and/or services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf; to show that we treated you fairly; and to keep records required by law. We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymise it.
To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the country you live in, e.g., with our offices or other companies within our group; with your and our service providers located outside the country or, if appropriate, the EEA; or where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you. These transfers are subject to special rules in European and UK data protection law. This means we can only transfer your personal information to a country or international organisation where: the country the data is transferred to has similar laws relating to data; there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects; or a specific exception applies under data protection law.
We may transfer your data to a third country or international organisation on this ground where we are satisfied the transfer complies with data protection law, appropriate safeguards are in place, and enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available for data subjects.
In the absence of appropriate safeguards, we may transfer personal information to a third country or international organisation where an exception applies under relevant data protection law, e.g.: you have explicitly consented to the proposed transfer after having been informed of the possible risks; the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between us or to take pre-contract measures at your request; the transfer is necessary for a contract in your interests between us and another person; or the transfer is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. We may also transfer information for the purpose of our compelling legitimate interests, so long as those interests are not overridden by your interests, rights and freedoms.

| Access | The right to be provided with a copy of your personal information. |

We have appropriate security measures to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed unlawfully. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator where we are legally required to do so.
