TWMA respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data.

Scope

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

We may share your personal data internally within the TWMA group of entities depending on the jurisdiction of operations you show an interest in, on a strictly need to know basis, in order that we can respond to your needs.  This is known as Internal Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.

We may share your personal data with related Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all third parties whether they are external or internal, to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

We do NOT allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

7. International transfers

The only time we may transfer your personal data to an international location is if you are interested in the services we offer in any of our group of companies located internationally to the UK or if you are applying for a vacancy we are advertising on our website which is for work located in one of our companies which are based internationally to the UK. 

Our Privacy Policy – For Employees (Internal) and this Policy which includes the processes and procedures are implemented throughout all of our international group locations which means that our internationally located companies will treat your personal data with the same levels and standards of privacy as we do in the UK.

9. Your security and data retention

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other internal third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
