How we share information with third parties

We share personal information with our offices around the world and the various companies and entities that make up our global network. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to locations outside Europe as well as within it for the purposes described above.

We may also share your personal information outside Pixl8. This may include:

  • Third party agents/suppliers or contractors, bound by obligations of confidentiality, in connection with the processing of your personal information for the purposes described in this Policy. This may include, but is not limited to, IT and communications service providers.

  • Third parties relevant to the services that we provide. This may include, but is not limited to, counterparties to litigation, professional service providers, regulators, authorities and governmental institutions.

Protecting your data outside the EEA (EU Member States and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway)

We may transfer data that we collect from you to third-party data processors in countries that are outside the EEA such as Australia or the USA.  This might be required, for example, in order to fulfil your service, process your payment details or provide support services.

If we do this, we have procedures in place to ensure your data receives the same protection as if it were being processed inside the EEA. For example, our contracts with third parties stipulate the standards they must follow at all times.

Any transfer of your personal data will follow applicable laws and we will treat the information under the guiding principles of this Privacy Notice.

Keeping your information and information security

How long we hold your personal information for will vary and will depend principally on:

  • the purpose for which we are using your personal information - we will need to keep the information for as long as is necessary for the relevant purpose, and

  • legal obligations - laws or regulation may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your personal information.

  • We will ensure that the personal information that we hold is subject to appropriate security measures.
