6.4   There may be instances where we will not grant you access to the Personal Information we hold in other circumstances permitted by law such as where the request would be likely to have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others.  If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal. 

6.5   If you believe that Personal Information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it (see details below).  We will consider if the information requires amendment.  If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment then we will add a note to the Personal Information stating that you disagree with it.

6.6   We will deal with any complaint by investigating it, and providing a response to you within a reasonable time, provided that we have all necessary information and have completed any investigation required.  In some cases, we may need to ask you to put your complaint in writing so that we are sure that we understand it, and may also need to ask you for further information or to verify your identity.  We will attempt to confirm as appropriate and necessary with you your understanding of the conduct relevant to the complaint and what you expect as an outcome.  We will treat your complaint confidentially and respond to you within a reasonable time, usually in writing.

3.  Export outside the EEA

3.1    Your Personal Information may be accessed by staff, suppliers or other persons in, transferred to, and/or stored at, a destination outside the EEA in which data protection laws may be of a lower standard than in the EEA.
3.2    Where we transfer Personal Information from inside the EEA to outside the EEA, we may be required to take specific additional measures to safeguard the relevant Personal Information.  Certain countries outside the EEA have been approved by the European Commission as providing essentially equivalent protections to EEA data protection laws and therefore no additional safeguards are required to export Personal Information to these jurisdictions. In countries which have not had these approvals (see the full list here http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.htm), we will establish legal grounds justifying such transfer, such as EU Commission-approved model contractual clauses, or other legal grounds permitted by applicable EU DP Law.
