5. Links to Third-Party Websites

The App or Website may contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and service providers. Those websites and any services available through them have their own data protection notices. We do not accept responsibility or liability for those notices or for Personal Data collected through those websites or services. Please check the relevant notices before submitting Personal Data or using third-party services.

6. Storing and Transferring Your Personal Data

We may transfer your Personal Data outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Certain third-party service providers that process Personal Data on our behalf may transfer it outside the EEA to a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection.

Where such transfers occur, it is our policy that they do not occur without our prior written authority and that an appropriate transfer agreement, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses or another transfer mechanism approved by the European Commission and supervisory authorities, is put in place.

To find out more about any such transfer, please contact our Privacy Compliance Manager.

All information you provide is stored on our secure servers or the servers of our service providers, contractors or suppliers. Where you have been given, or have chosen, a password that enables access to the App or Website, you are responsible for keeping that password confidential. Please do not share it with anyone.

7. How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

Alpha Taxis Trowbridge Limited will keep your Personal Data for as long as you use the App or Website and for a period of seven years after you delete your account.

In certain circumstances, we may retain your Personal Data for longer, for example where we are processing an ongoing claim or believe in good faith that the law or a relevant regulator may reasonably expect or require us to preserve it.
