With third parties who provide or support our IT systems: We use reputable third parties to provide us with our IT systems and support for them.

The legal ground for this is that sharing your personal information in this way is necessary in order for us to comply with our legal obligations;
With entities, companies or individuals outside STRAT7 to obtain advice: We also share your personal information with external professional advisors such as lawyers or accountants in order to take advice and for the purposes of legal and tribunal proceedings. The legal ground for this is that it is in our legitimate interests as a business to be able to obtain professional advice from our external advisors about issues that may arise within our business.
We store your personal information in the United Kingdom or in countries within the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
We will only transfer your personal information outside the EEA where our third party service providers who we share personal information with (as set out above) are based outside the EEA, have support services located outside the EEA or host personal information outside the EEA.
We only transfer your personal information outside the EEA where we have a legal ground for doing so and where we ensure that your personal information is protected to the same standard as it would be protected in the UK. We do this by entering into data sharing agreements with the recipients of your personal information based outside the EEA which comply with the EU Commission’s standard clauses for the transfer of personal information or be ensuring that the third party is signed up to an appropriate Privacy Shield.
If you would like further details about our transfer of your personal information outside the EEA please contact us using the contact details at the start of this Policy.
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), (the UK regulator for data protection issues, please see https://ico.org.uk/).
