Parekh takes every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data are only processed for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice. 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 of our relationship with you. In case your information is no longer required for any purpose of lawful processing, then We will ensure it is disposed of in a secure manner.
In some circumstances, We may anonymise your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case We may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
We use appropriate measures (described below) to keep your Personal Data confidential and secure. Please note, however, that these protections do not apply to information you choose to share in public areas such as third-party social networks.
People who can access your Personal Data. Your Personal Data will be processed by our authorised staff or agents, on a need to know basis, depending on the specific purposes for which your Personal Data have been collected.
Measures taken in operating environments. We store your Personal Data in operating environments that use reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorised access. We follow reasonable standards to protect Personal Data. The transmission of information via the internet is, unfortunately, not completely secure and although We will do our best to protect your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee the security of the data during transmission through our Websites.
Transfer of your Personal Data. The storage as well as the processing of your Personal Data as described above may require that your Personal Data are ultimately transferred/transmitted to, and/or stored at, a destination outside of your country of residence. This may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country other than the one you are based in, or one of our service providers is located in a country other than the one you are based in. By submitting your information and Personal Data to Us, you agree to the transfer, storage, and processing of such information and Personal Data in the manner described above.
You may have the following rights:
When We send you marketing and promotional content through email, We make best efforts to provide you with the ability to opt-out of such communications by using the opt-out instructions provided in such emails.
We will require appropriate evidence of your identity or to be provided with additional relevant personal information based on your relationship with Us before We are able to act on your request in circumstances where the Personal Data We have in our systems is insufficient to identify you or reply to your request. If you are submitting a request on behalf of someone else, it may be necessary that We verify your authority to submit such a request. You may therefore be asked to provide signed confirmation that you are permitted by the data subject or by law to submit such request.
