INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS, SECURITY AND RETENTION
International data transfers.
Where personal information is shared and disclosed as set out above, these parties may be established outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For example, some of the service providers we use to support our Services are based in the United States, and this would involve a transfer of your personal information to the United States. Whenever we transfer your personal information outside the United Kingdom or the EEA, we ensure that not materially lower protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate safeguards are implemented. This may include, where appropriate, signing up to Standard Contractual Clauses. To find out more information regarding the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information outside the United Kingdom or the EEA, please contact us athello@thena.com.
Keeping your information secure.
We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used, or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
You shall ensure that mobile devices used to access the App have appropriate OS-level security and that Authorised Users have granted necessary hardware permissions (e.g., Bluetooth) solely for Equipment synchronisation.
Technical Measures: We shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
Encryption: All Personal Data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard protocols (AES-256 or equivalent).
Access Control: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is mandatory for all our staff accessing the Website and/or App backend.
Resilience: We maintain a Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan, which is tested at least annually, to ensure service availability in the event of a cyber incident.
We shall notify you without undue delay, and in any event within 48 hours, of becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach. This allows us to fulfil our statutory 72-hour notification obligation to the ICO.
For how long do we keep your personal information?
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
YOUR RIGHTS
Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to:
Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”) and to certain other supplementary information that this Privacy Policy is already designed to address.
Request correction of the personal information we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information that the data controller holds about you corrected.
Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
Receive the personal information concerning you which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit that data to a third party in certain situations.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please email us at hello@thenalaw.com and let us have enough information to identify you. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
In accordance with the 2025 DUAA Act, our searches will be "reasonable and proportionate." Note on Timelines: We will respond within one month. However, if your request is broad, we may ask for clarification. In such cases, we will "stop the clock" on the 30-day deadline until you provide the necessary details to fulfil your request.
We hope that we can resolve any query or concern that you raise about our use of your personal information.
You also have the right to make a complaint to your supervisory authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (www.ico.org.uk).
