8.STORING YOUR INFORMATION
We employ a variety of physical and technical measures to keep your personal data safe and to prevent unauthorised access to or use or disclosure of it. Electronic data and databases are stored on secure computer systems and we control who has access to them (using both physical and electronic means). Our staff receive data protection training and we have a set of detailed data protection procedures which personnel are required to follow when handling personal data. We cannot absolutely guarantee the security of the internet or external networks or your own device.  Accordingly, any online communications (e.g. information provided by email or through our website) are at your own risk.

Storage 
We only store personal information for as long as it is required for the purpose(s) we collected it for (or for a related compatible purpose, such as keeping a record of a transaction). We regularly review what data we have and delete that which is no longer necessary. In certain situations, you have the right to request that your data be deleted (the right to be forgotten), please see paragraph 10 for further details. If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us using the details set out in clause 1.

We normally only store personal information within the European Economic Area (EEA). If one of our subcontractors (such as a payment processor) needs to transfer it outside the EEA then we will take steps to make sure adequate levels of privacy protection, in line with UK data protection law, are in place. These safeguards will usually be contractual and/or the result of a European Union decision which allows the transfer (for example, a US organisation which is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield framework). 

 

10.YOUR RIGHTS
We want you to remain in control of your personal information. Part of this is making sure you understand your legal rights, which are as follows: • where data is processed on the basis of consent, the right to withdraw that consent • the right to confirmation as to whether or not we have your personal data and, if we do, to obtain a copy of the personal data • the right to have inaccurate data rectified • the right to object to your data being used for marketing or profiling, or on the basis of our or a third party’s legitimate interest • the right to restrict how your personal information is used • the right to be forgotten, which allows you to have your data erased in certain circumstances (though this is not an absolute right and may not apply if we need to continue using the information for a lawful reason)

If you would like further information on your rights or wish to exercise them, please write to the Data Protection Manager, NEW WORLD PRIVATE EQUITY LIMITED, 64 New Cavendish Street, London W1G 8TB; or emailing carinaob@nwpep.com with details of your request. 
Please keep in mind that there are exceptions to the rights above and, though we will always try to respond to your satisfaction, there may be situations where we are unable to do so (for example, because the information no longer exists or there is an exception which applies to your request). 
If you are not happy with our response, or you believe that your data protection or privacy rights have been infringed, you should contact the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, which oversees data protection compliance in the UK. Details of how to do this can be found at www.ico.org.uk.
