What are our obligations to collect and your obligations to provide personal data?

We have no legal obligation to collect personal data about you but we need to collect personal data about you in order to send you news alerts. 

You have no obligation to provide personal data to us but we will not be able to provide you with news alerts if you do not provide us with the information needed for this.

Who will we share your personal data with?

We may share your personal data with:

• other companies in the Mobico group of companies, so that they may send you information about the Mobico Group directly;
• suppliers and sub-contractors who help us manage our website and provide our news alert services;

• government bodies and regulatory authorities, including crime prevention and detection agencies and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office; and

There may be occasions where it is necessary for us to transfer the personal data we collect about you to a country outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including where our suppliers who process your personal data on our behalf are based in such a country.  It is possible that the country concerned may not be deemed to provide a similar level of protection for individuals’ rights in relation to their personal data as in the EEA. Where that is the case, we have entered into appropriate contracts with such data processors, based on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, a copy of which can be found here: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32010D0087, such that your personal data should be afforded the same level of protection as when it is processed in the EEA.
