YOUR RIGHTS



To deliver products and services to you, it is sometimes necessary to share your personal information outside of the European Economic Area (the EEA). 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 we transfer your personal information outside the EEA, we will ensure that the transfer will be compliant with data protection law and all personal data will be secure. Our standard practice is to assess the laws and practises of the destination country and relevant service provider and the security measures that are to be taken as regards the data in the overseas location; Alternatively, we use standard data protection clauses.

Record Retention Periods


In summary, various laws, accounting and regulatory requirements applicable to us require us to retain certain records for specific amounts of time. In relation to your personal data, we will hold this only for so long as we require that personal data for legal or regulatory reasons or for legitimate organisational purposes and we will not keep your data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which we collect them.

We will not retain your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice. Different retention periods apply for different types of information, and our Data Retention Policy sets out the length of time we will usually retain personal data and where these default periods might be changed.


HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR DATA



  • Keep your account passwords private because anyone who knows your password may access your account or be compromised if your account is accessed without authority.

  • When creating a password, use a difficult word/number combination of at least 8 characters and something that is not easily guessed by hackers such as dictionary words, your name, email address, or other personal data that can be easily obtained. Also, frequently change your password. You can do this accessing your account, clicking ‘your account’, clicking ‘your data’ and selecting ‘change password’.

  • Avoid using the same password for different online accounts.



In addition, we recommend that you take the following security measures to enhance your online safety


If you are using a computing device in a public location, we recommend that you always log out and close the website browser when you complete an online session.


You should always be cautious when sharing your personal data. No one from our company will ever ask you to confirm any bank account or credit card details via email. If you receive an email claiming to be from The Watch Shop Holdings Limited asking you to do so, please ignore it and do not respond.



WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP PROTECT YOUR DATA



  • Encryption of data;
  • Regular cyber security assessments of all service providers who may handle your personal data;
  • Regular planning to ensure we are ready to respond to cyber security attacks and data security incidents;
  • Daily penetration testing of systems;
  • Security controls which protect the our IT systems infrastructure and our premises from external attack and unauthorised access; and
  • Internal policies setting out our data security rules for our personnel.
  • Regular training for our employees.



Our security measures include:
