Sharing data with third parties

 

Our service providers and suppliers

In order to make certain services available to you, we may need to share your personal data with some of our service partners.  These include IT, delivery and marketing service providers.

Champagne Direct only allows its service providers to handle your personal data when we have confirmed that they apply appropriate data protection and security controls.  We also impose contractual obligations on service providers relating to data protection and security, which mean they can only use your data to provide services to Champagne Direct and to you, and for no other purposes.

To deliver products and services to you, it is sometimes necessary for Champagne Direct to share your data outside of the European Economic Area. This will typically occur when service providers are located outside the EEA or if you are based outside the EEA. These transfers are subject to special rules under data protection laws. If this happens, we will ensure that the transfer will be compliant with data protection law and all personal data will be secure.

 

How long do we keep your data?

We will not retain your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy.

Different retention periods apply for different types of data, however the longest we will normally hold any personal data is 6 years.
