Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely.

All of the systems and tools we use at Claridade are UK GDPR compliant and we have appropriate measures in place to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost or used / accessed unlawfully.  We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine need to access it.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

Any sensitive data (your role, any reports related to you or your organization) are saved on a secure site and are transferred using secure means. We regularly review our systems and delete any information that is not in active use in relation to providing services to you.

Transferring your information outside of Europe

As part of the services offered to you through this website, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (“EU”). As part of the services offered to you through this website, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the UK. The UK data protection law is known as the UK GDPR  and by law, we can only transfer your personal data to a country outside the UK where the UK government has decided the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy regulation’) further to Article 45 of the UK GDPR.  We rely on adequacy regulations for transfers to countries in the EEA. In the event we cannot or choose not to rely on this mechanism, we will not transfer your data unless we can do so on the basis of an alternative mechanism or exception provided by UK data protection law
