We will use your personal information if doing so is necessary for our legitimate interests, and your rights as an individual do not override those legitimate interests. For example, we have a legitimate interest in using information we collect from you automatically (see above) to run our website and business effectively.

If you have emailed us with a query it may be in our legitimate interests to share your details with other companies in our group so that we can respond. In the event that we buy or sell any business and/or assets we may disclose your personal information to the prospective buyer or seller of the business and/or assets.

The above activities are conducted on the basis that they are in the legitimate interest of Podymos Limited.

For those reasons and/or because it is in our legitimate interests to do so, we may share your personal information with other companies within our group and third parties who provide services to us.

We may also use and disclose your personal information as required for the purposes of compliance, including to any legal or taxation authority or a relevant third party in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings, and in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

How we manage and protect your information

The security of your personal information is important to us and we have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent it from being lost, used, accessed, altered or disclosed in an unauthorised way.

How long we hold your information

We only store your personal information for as long as it is required for the purpose we collected it for or to meet legal or related requirements. Where your information is no longer required, we will ensure it is disposed of or deleted in a secure manner.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from its unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes by other means.
