We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are statutory retention obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If we use commissioned service providers for individual functions of our website or would like to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail about the respective processes below. In doing so, we will also state the defined criteria for the storage period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Your Rights<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You have the following rights with regard to personal data concerning you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR),<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Right to rectification or erasure (Art. 16 and Art. 17 GDPR),<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Right to object to processing (Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR),<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. Alternatively, you can also contact the UK`s supervisory authority, which is: The Information Commissioner`s Office (ICO) located at Wycliffe House, Water Ln, Wilmslow SK9 5AF, UK (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Relevant legal basis<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In accordance with Article 13 of the GDPR, we inform you of the legal basis for our data processing.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Collection of personal data when visiting our website<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the case of merely informative use of the website, i.e., if you do not make a booking or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server.

Cookies are small text files that are assigned to the browser you are using and stored on your hard drive by means of a characteristic string of characters, and through which the body that sets the cookie receives certain information. Cookies cannot execute programmes or transmit viruses to your computer and therefore cannot cause any damage. They serve to make the Internet offer as a whole more user-friendly and effective, i.e., more pleasant for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cookies can contain data that make it possible to recognise the device used. In some cases, however, cookies only contain information on certain settings that cannot be related to a specific person. However, cookies cannot directly identify a user.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Any use of cookies that is not strictly technically necessary constitutes data processing that is only permitted with your explicit and active consent (by accepting our cookie banner) pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Furthermore, we will only pass on your personal data processed by cookies to third parties if you have given your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. For more information about which cookies, we use and how you can manage your cookie settings and disable certain types of tracking. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Please see our Cookie Policy at <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/life-in-the-uk-test.org\/cookie-policy\/\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/life-in-the-uk-test.org\/cookie-policy\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Other features and offers of our website<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. In order to do so, you will usually have to provide further personal data, which we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Comments and contributions <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When you leave comments on our website, your IP addresses is stored for 7 days on the basis of our legitimate interests. This is done for our security in case someone leaves unlawful content in comments and posts. In this case, we can be prosecuted for the comment or post and are therefore interested in the identity of the author. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You may be able to display certain personal data, share certain details, engage with others, exchange knowledge and insights, post and view relevant content. It\u2019s your choice whether to include sensitive personal data on your comment and to make that sensitive information public. Please do not post or add personal data to your comment that you would not want to be available. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Note on data transfer to the USA<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of UK\/EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Objection or revocation against the processing of your data<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you may revoke this consent at any time. Such a revocation will affect the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have expressed it to us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Where we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary, in particular, for the fulfilment of a contract with you, which is shown by us in each case in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Liability For Contents<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The contents of our pages were created with the utmost care. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the content. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content only and are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Liability in this regard is only possible from the point in time at which a concrete infringement of the law becomes known. If we become aware of any such infringements, we will remove the relevant content immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Data Security<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We secure our website and other systems through appropriate technical and organisational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. However, and despite regular checks, complete protection against all dangers is not possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Passing on of data<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties,<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">if you have given your express consent to this;<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">if the disclosure is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations;<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">if we are legally obligated to disclose the data;<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">if the disclosure of the data is in the public interest;<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">if the disclosure of the data is necessary for the protection of our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless your interests in the protection of your data override these interests.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Third Party Recipients<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In order to be able to process your requests satisfactorily, we may have to pass on your personal data to third party recipients. Third party recipients may be our suppliers, service partners and our trading partners as described in this policy or for the enforcement of a lawful order issued for example by a court, the police, or a regulatory authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Duration of storage of personal data<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Your data will be stored by us for as long as it is needed for the respective purposes underlying the processing. Beyond that, we only store data insofar as we are legally obligated to do so, e.g., due to statutory retention obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Automated Decision Making<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Automated decision making is not used at Life in the UK Test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Processing of special categories of data<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">No special categories of data are processed at Life in the UK Test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Changes to this privacy policy<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Life in the UK Test reserves the right to change this privacy policy.
