Legal obligation The use of some of your personal data is necessary for us to meet our legal

obligations e.g., pension contributions for Revenue Certificates, Regulatory

Consent Sometimes we may rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information.

For example, we rely on consent to collect and use personal data for any criminal

an insurance policy for you. We share this information with other third parties

where it is necessary to manage these services provided to you – these services

We may also rely on your consent to send direct marketing to you. We will ensure

you with further details.

How we share your data

When required, we may make your information available to third parties with whom we have a

relationship, where that third party is providing services on our behalf. We will only provide those third

parties (data processors) with information that is necessary for them to perform the services. We will

take measures to protect your information, such as putting in place Standard Contractual Clauses and

confidentiality agreements.

legal request.

Transferring personal data outside of Ireland

Where we transfer personal data to a country outside of the EEA (referred to in the GDPR as ‘third

country,’) we will ensure it is done lawfully, i.e. there is an appropriate “level of protection for the

fundamental rights of the data subjects”. We will therefore ensure that either the EU Commission has

granted an adequacy decision in respect of the third country, or appropriate specified safeguards have

been put in place, (e.g., Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)).

We may share data with some providers located in the UK. The EU Commission adopted adequacy

decisions for transfers of personal data to the UK. This means that the EU accepts that the UK data

protection regime is substantially equivalent to the EU regime and allows personal data to be

transferred freely from the EEA to the UK. Therefore, the UK is not deemed a third country.

We may share your data with acountry outside of the EEA and wherethere is no finding of adequacy of

the transfer of data from Ireland to the country outside of the EEA. In the absence of an adequacy

decision the GDPR allows the transfer if the controller or processor has provided appropriate

safeguards. These safeguards include Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). We, the data controller must

abide by the SCCs as well as the Recommendations adopted by the European Data Protection Board on

measures that supplement the SCCs which will ensure the level of protection provided for within the

GDPR.

Security

The security of your personal data is important to us, we have implemented appropriate technical and

organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. We have processes in

place to protect your personal data from loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration and destruction.

for a longer period than is necessary.

Raglan Street Private may store data for longer periods if the personal data will be processed solely for

archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes,

subject to the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the

rights and freedoms of the data subject.

with the criteria used to determine this period, including any statutory obligations we have. Should you

require further information we would be happy to provide.
