​

What is our legal basis for using your personal information?

​

Aero Engine Services will only process your personal information where we have a legal basis to do so. The legal basis will depend on the reason or reasons Aero Engine Services collected and needs to use your information. Under EU and UK data protection laws in almost all cases the legal basis will be:

  • Because you have consented to Aero Engine Services using your information for a particular purpose;

 

How long do we keep personal information?

​

We will keep your information for as long as we need it for the purpose it is being processed for. We will actively review the information we hold and delete it securely, or in some cases anonymise it, when there is no longer a legal, business or employer need for it to be retained.

​

Compliance with legal obligations

​

There are situations where Aero Engine Services is subject to a legal obligation and needs to use your personal information to comply with those obligations.

​

Consent

​

We may collect and use your personal information where you have given your specific consent to us doing so.

​

What are your legal rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you?

​

Under data protection laws in the European Union and the UK, you have certain rights in relation to your personal information. Responses to exercise your rights will be provided within one month and generally there is no fee for making these requests. If your request is particularly complicated we may extend the deadline for responding to three months, but we will let you know if this is the case.

​

We will handle all requests in accordance with applicable law. However, depending on the right you wish to exercise, and the nature of the personal information involved, there may be legal reasons why we cannot grant your request.

Details of how to exercise your rights are set out in the section below “How can you exercise your legal rights and change how we use your data?

​

Your rights include the following:

​

  1. You may request us to stop using your personal information where we are doing so under legitimate interests unless it is needed for dealing with legal claims or we have other compelling legitimate reasons that override your rights.

  2. You may access the personal information we hold on you;

  3. There are some limited exceptions to this right, such as information relating to others who have not consented to the disclosure of their information and information which is legally privileged. You may ask us to correct your personal information (the ‘right of rectification’) if that information is inaccurate;

  4. You may ask for personal information which identifies you to be erased (or forgotten).;

 

To do this we will remove the information that identifies you from the data we hold in our active systems (“anonymise”). However, a separate and restricted copy of the identifying information will be kept for 7 years to meet the obligations we have to law enforcement, national authorities and legal proceedings.

​

Considerations:

​

  • We may need to retain certain elements that relate to a contract between you and Aero Engine Services because we need it for our own legal and auditing purposes;

  • A record of your request including the personal information you supplied will be retained in the application used to carry this out for 3 years;

 

How can you exercise your legal rights and change how we use your data?

​

If you wish to change how we use your personal information you can make a request by writing to us at:
