8. International transfers
We want to make sure that your data is stored and transferred in a way which is secure. We will only transfer data outside of the UK and European Economic Area where the recipient is compliant with the data protection legislation and the means of transfer provides approved safeguards.
These will include UK IDTA’s and EU approved standard contractual clauses, according to Article 46(2)(c) “UK GDPR” and “EU GDPR”, or where the country concerned has been found adequate by the UK Secretary of State or European Commission (as applicable) in respect to the levels of data protection, according to Article 45 “UK GDPR” and “EU GDPR”.
Please note that where a derogation to the above applies under Article 49 “UK GDPR” and “EU GDPR”, you will be informed of this prior to the transfer taking place and will have the opportunity to object to that transfer.
As a business, we transfer personal data between our EU and UK entities, including storing EU data subjects’ personal data on UK servers. Your personal data will be processed to the same high standards, as NashTech implements the “EU GDPR” and the “UK GDPR” across all of its EU and UK entities.
NashTech is a global company and to effectively provide the best service to our clients we may utilise a delivery and business processing outsourcing (BPO) service in Vietnam and India. The services we use are provided by NashTech Vietnam and Knoldus Software LLP, both are subsidiaries of NashTech. A data transfer risk assessment has been carried out, and both international data transfer agreements and standard contractual clauses are in place to govern the secure processing of personal data in these instances.
We may send your information between NashTech entities which may exist outside of Europe, to overseas clients or to clients within your country who may in turn transfer
your data internationally. Appropriate safeguards and legal requirements will always be in place to govern the secure processing of your personal data.
The data may also be stored on cloud-based storage for parts of our overall business process.
Please be aware that countries which are outside the UK and European Economic Area may not offer the same level of legal protection for your personal information as under EU/UK law, although any collection, storage and use of your personal data by us (or on our behalf) will continue to be governed by this privacy notice.
9. Personal information, cookies and websites
Our website may offer you the opportunity to pass your personal information to us in relation to a particular role or service which is of interest to you. This information may be routed through one of our 3rd party suppliers before it is delivered electronically to us.

Our website may also link or direct you to other websites or external content which are not within our control. Links to other websites may be provided for your convenience and information. While we will use our best endeavour to ensure that we link or direct you only to websites that share our privacy and security standards, we are not in the position to guarantee the same and we will not be responsible for the protection and privacy of any personal data which you provide on those websites.
These sites have their own privacy statement in place, and we recommend you review these if you visit any linked website. You should therefore exercise caution including reviewing the privacy policy of those websites before disclosing any personal data.

11. Data retention
The period for which data is retained in each circumstance is determined by the balanced interests of the company and the data subjects concerned. If personal data needs to be retained to fulfil the documented business interests of the company, and that interest would align with the interests of the data subject, then we will continue to retain for a reasonable period.
However, we don’t keep data for any longer than is necessary. For most people where we have limited contact it will be for a maximum of two years from the date of last contact with us. Where we have engaged with you more extensively, for instance we have worked with you as client or supplier, or interviewed/placed you as a candidate, we may retain data longer.
We will delete personal data at the end of the legal retention period except where we need to keep any personal information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
12. Emails
We have legal obligations to retain emails as we operate across a number of jurisdictions including the United States. We retain emails for 10 years.
