Automated decisions and profiling

Data transfers
PageGroup operates globally. Some support functions, such as IT support, are based all around the world. We therefore may share with or give access to your personal data to other companies within PageGroup.Find a list of PageGroup entities and the countries where they are located.
We have in place an intra-group data transfer agreement containing the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Parliament for the transfer of personal data to ‘third countries’ (“SCCs”). The intra-group agreement also contains the UK’s international transfer agreement addendum to the SCCs. These SCCs act as an additional safeguard to permit cross-border transfers of personal data from within the EEA to third countries outside the UK and EEA, (as data protection laws outside the EEA may not provide an equivalent level of protection to EEA data protection laws).
If you would like a copy of the SCCs, please contact us.
Keeping your personal data secure
We have implemented and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or unauthorised disclosure or access. Only authorised personnel and third-party service providers have access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, and these employees and service providers are contractually required to treat this information as confidential.
How long we store your personal data
We will store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which we have collected them, which may be an ongoing purpose.
We keep some personal data longer than others. In determining the appropriate storage period for personal data, we take into account factors such as the purposes for which we process your personal data, including legal, regulatory, accounting and reporting obligations, the nature and amount of personal data we hold about you, and the potential risk of harm to you from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data.
For the retention period of cookies you may refer to the cookie policy.
Your rights in relation to personal data we hold about you
You have several rights under data protection laws. These rights include the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data, to correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal data; to obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine-readable format, and to ask us to share (port) this data to another controller.
In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process your personal data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing).
These rights may be limited, for example, if complying with your request would reveal personal data about another person, where they would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights) or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests for keeping. We will inform you of any relevant exemptions we are relying on when we respond to your request.
