How long will we keep your personal data?

As long as you keep engaging with us, we will retain your personal information under legitimate interest for as long as we consider there is value to you and to us of maintaining contact, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.

Marketing contacts are only kept in our marketing database if they are showing signs of engagement (i.e. our database and system records at least an email click). This means we will stop emailing you if we haven’t heard from you for 12 months, and from this point you will be considered an inactive or ‘non-marketing’ contact. If you re-engage with us (by submitting a form on the website for example), you will be re-added to our mailing list and will start to receive emails again.

Non-marketing contacts are retained for a further 12 months before being permanently deleted if no further engagement is received.

Candidates that are unsuccessful in their applications to FlyForm are retained for no longer than 12 months before being permanently deleted.

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to yo

Sharing your personal data

We will only disclose your personal data to:

  • Other third-party suppliers, business partners and sub-contractors for business administration, support, processing, services, or IT purposes.
  • Analytics or search engines that enable us to optimise and improve your website experience.
  • A third party who has purchased or merged with our organisation, in which case personal data held by us, about you, will be transferred to that third party to carry on our business.
  • Our regulators, law enforcement or fraud prevention agencies, as well as our legal advisers, courts, the police and any other authorised bodies, for the purposes of investigating any actual or suspected criminal activity or other regulatory or legal matters.
  • HMRC or other tax bodies or agencies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We may also disclose aggregate or de-identified information about our users to third parties for marketing, advertising, research or similar purposes.

Security of your personal data

We have taken reasonable steps to help protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These include training and awareness programmes for all staff and appropriate technical measures such as encryption of laptops, enforcement of strong password controls and virus and malware detection. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a legitimate business need to know.

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.

International transfers of your personal data

We may transfer your personal data to countries outside the United Kingdom in order to provide our services. The laws in these countries may not offer the same level of protection for personal data as in the United Kingdom.

If we transfer personal data to countries outside of the United Kingdom, we will do so in a lawful way and may rely on:

  • An adequacy decision from the Secretary of State, which says that the recipient country provides an adequate level of protection of personal data.
  • Appropriate safeguards to protect the personal data (for example, the approved standard contractual clauses or international data transfer agreement).
  • A lawful exception to the rules relating to overseas data transfers (for example, the transfer is necessary to perform a contract with you, which is in your interests).
