9. Transfer of data outside of the UK, EU or EEA

Vision RCL generally does not share or transfer any customer visitor or supplier personal data outside of the UK, EU or EEA. However, some software providers are located, or store customer data in other secure ‘third countries’, including the U.S.

In such instances, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (UK-US Data Bridge) is applied and only with U.S. companies certified by the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) programme. Secure third countries are those where a suitable level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision is confirmed. In those countries, national laws provide a level of protection for personal data which is comparable to those of EU law. We will be clear about where this is happening. 

Vision RCL will not share, disclose or transfer your personal data outside the UK, EU, EEA or the US without ensuring the appropriate safeguards are in place and in line with legislation. Again, we will make this clear to you where this takes place.

10. How we store and protect your personal data

  • We will respond fully to requests from you to see the information that we hold on you.
  • We will not hold your personal information for longer than is necessary.
  • We follow strict procedures when storing or handling information that you have given us. Some information is encrypted, such as payment transactions and password.
  • We train our staff in their responsibilities in data protection and information management.

Vision reserves the right to store and process information securely outside of the UK, EU or European Economic Area (“EEA”), but will inform you when this takes place and where appropriate safeguard measures exist.

11. Data Retention

We review our retention periods of the information we hold about you on a regular basis. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as it is necessary for the relevant activity or service that we provide to you, or as required by law.
