than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or
text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by
contacting us.
Purposes for which we will use your personal data
We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your
personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified
what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data
where more than one ground has been set out in the table below.
Change of purpose

reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible
with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the
new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us by writing to us at
Wasps Holdings Limited, Ricoh Arena, Judds Lane, Longford, Coventry, CV6 6AQ, or by

about you. We may use this information and the combined information for the purposes set
out above(depending on the types of information we receive).

(for example, we may inform them that 500 men aged under 30 have clicked on their
advertisement on any given day). We may also use such aggregate information to help
advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1).

avoidance of doubt, we will not pass on your information to any unauthorised third parties
without your express consent.
You may subsequently ‘opt-out’ of the use of the personal data for marketing purposes
using the “Unsubscribe” link found in the footer of any email you receive from us or such
third parties or by contacting us.
• Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business

If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in
the same way as set out in this privacy notice.
• If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with

others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for
the purposes of fraud protection.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in
accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your
personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data
for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
STORING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
International transfers
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination
within the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating
within the EEA who works for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in,
among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and
the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer,
storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is
treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We do not transfer your personal
data outside the EEA.
Data security
We have 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.
In addition, 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.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions
will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen)
a password which enables you to access certain parts of our sites, you are responsible for
keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
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 our sites; any transmission is at your own risk.
Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features
to try to prevent unauthorised access.
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.
Data retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we
collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting
requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider 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 requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity,
financial and transaction data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax
purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Request erasure below
for further information.
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 you.
YOUR RIGHTS
You have the right to:
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to
have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may
need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove
personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also
have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully
exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your
information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with
local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of
erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your
request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest
(or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes
you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental
rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal
data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have
compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and
freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to
suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want
us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not
want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as
you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our
use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you,
or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used,
machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which
you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a
contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal
data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you
withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain
products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw
your consent.
In certain circumstances, 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
contact us at or if you wish to exercise
your rights.
Our sites may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner
networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please
note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept
any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you
submit any personal data to these websites.
ACCESS TO INFORMATION
You also have the right to your personal data (known as a “data subject access request”).
This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and check
that we are lawfully processing it.
If you wish to make a request for access to your information, please contact us at
Wasps Holdings Limited, Ricoh Arena, Judds Lane, Longford, Coventry, CV6 6AQ,
or by email at or .
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of
the other rights), although we have the right to charge a reasonable fee if your
request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may
refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
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 in relation to your request to speed up our
response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it
may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you
have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you
updated.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
Any changes we may make to our Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this
page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail. Please check back frequently
to see any updates or changes to our Privacy Policy.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current.
Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with
us.
