countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this
privacy notice. If you are in the EEA, information which you provide may be transferred to
countries which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the EEA. In these

keeping your password and user details confidential.<br.
12. We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we
collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting
requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and
sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of
your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can
achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal information are available in our
retention policy which you can request from us by contacting us.
13. It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please
keep us informed if your personal information changes during your business relationship with us.
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
1. Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a ‘data
subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal
information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing
it.
2. Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This
enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about
you corrected.
3. Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to
delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us
continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove
your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to
processing (see below).
Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or
those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want
to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing
your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
- Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask
- us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want usto establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
- Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
- If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, objectto the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personalinformation to another party, please contact info@alberr.org. Please note, there are some
specific circumstances where these rights do not apply and we can refuse to deal with your
request.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other
rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or
excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure
your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another
appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who
has no right to receive it.
14. In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection,
processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to
withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please
contact info@alberr.org. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your
consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally
agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.
15. We take any complaints we receive about the collection and use of personal information very
seriously. We would encourage you to bring it to our attention if you think that our collection or use
of information is unfair, misleading or inappropriate. You can make a complaint at any time by
contacting us (see contact details section below).
