Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
The security of your personal data
IntelliQA has 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. Also, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other 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.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the website; any transmission is at your own risk.
The retention of your personal data
IntelliQA will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.

When IntelliQA is determining the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we consider several factors. These include 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.
Please contact us if you want further information on our retention of your personal data.

-
To require IntelliQA not to send you marketing communications.
-
To withdraw your consent, where IntelliQA is relying on it to process your personal data.
-
To object to how IntelliQA processes your personal data, in particular, where we are relying on our legitimate interests.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights as stated above, you can do so by email.
Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we will be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply (i.e., under applicable law). You can find out more about your rights at www.ico.org.uk.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
We may also contact you to ask you for further information concerning your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
In addition to the above, you also have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time using the Unsubscribe Page, or by contacting us by email.
