Disclosure to and use by third parties

The security of your personal data is important to us and we will only ever transfer your information to a third party outside Norbrook where there is a legal requirement or legitimate business reason for us to do so. We do not authorise these third parties to use your personal data for any purposes other than those for which it was shared, nor are they permitted to send you any unsolicited communications.

Where we are under a duty to disclose or share your data with a third party in order to comply with any legal obligation(s), we will ensure that only data which is legally required is disclosed. We enter into contractual agreements with our third party providers to ensure that your personal information is protected in line with our policies, and is only used and/or processed for approved and legitimate business reasons.

Transfers of data to third countries

We store your information on servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure that when your personal data is transferred outside the UK to the EEA that it is afforded an equivalent level of data protection. The third parties listed under Disclosure to and use by third parties may be located outside of the UK and EEA or they may transfer your information outside the UK and EEA. Those countries located outside the UK and EEA may not have the same standards of data protection and privacy laws as in the UK. Whenever we transfer your information outside of the UK and/or EEA, we impose contractual obligations on the recipients of that information to protect your personal data to the standard required in the UK, in accordance with Article 46(2)(c) of the GDPR. We may also require the recipient to subscribe to ‘international frameworks’ intended to enable secure data sharing. Any third parties transferring your information outside of the UK and EEA must also have in place appropriate safeguards as required under Article 46 of the GDPR.

Security of your personal data

We implement strict procedures and security features to ensure the confidentiality of your personal data and prevent accidental loss or unauthorised access to it. Our third party providers are required to take all reasonable steps to ensure the security of your personal information in line with their contractual arrangements with us. Unfortunately, as the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure, and although we will endeavour to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Website.

To exercise any of your rights in respect of the personal information we hold about you, please submit all requests to our Data Protection Officer at the address above or by emailing privacy@norbrook.co.uk.
