 the countries where data will be stored, processed and transferred

Your personal data collected by BizSpace may be stored and processed in the United Kingdom or outside the United Kingdom in which third parties maintain facilities. Should BizSpace need to transfer your personal data, BizSpace will take all reasonable measures to safeguard the transfer of your personal data to third parties in a manner that complies with the GDPR.

How long will the data be retained 

Retention of specific records may be necessary for one of more of the following reasons:

• to fulfil statutory or other regulatory requirements.
• to evidence events/ agreements in case of disputes.
• to meet our operational needs.
• to meet our sales enquiries.
• to meet any historical purposes.

Personal data that is collected and subsequently never used for any business purpose will be reviewed and may be destroyed at BizSpace's discretion.

What Happens if the data isn't collected

Your personal data is required for communication and setting up a contractual agreement to provide products and services. Without this data, BizSpace will not be able to communicate with you or enter into a contractual agreement with you. This includes both business and employment contracts.

BizSpace needs personal data to:

• enable consensual bilateral communications;
• engage in pre-contractual activities ;
• honour contractual obligations; and enable to employ people.

Without this data, BizSpace will not be able to perform these four primary activities.

The right to withdraw consent

In situations where BizSpace requests and receives your consent to perform processing, we are also obliged to stop such processing if you decide to withdraw your consent. Withdrawing consent is as straightforward as giving consent. Withdrawing consent cannot be back-dated so it has no effect on processing already performed during the period of consent.

The right to complain to the regulator

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office if you think that your personal data has been inappropriately used.
