Where do we store your personal data?

If you are based in the UK/EEA, Go MAD Limited will not ordinarily transfer your data outside of the EEA. In some cases, however, it may be necessary to do this – for example, if you are working with a Go MAD approved partner based outside of the EEA.

Where it is necessary to transfer your data to a third party outside of the EEA to provide the services we have been contracted to deliver, we will ensure the measures are put in place to keep your data secure through standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions and/or an appropriate safeguard. This is to ensure that once the transfer of data is complete, your data is subject to security measures on par with those required by data protection legislation in the UK.

Data storage policy

As an organisation, Go MAD Ltd has been operating for 25 years and we continue to receive communications from clients up to 10 years after we have stopped working together. As such, Go MAD Ltd feels it appropriate to hold data in a secure area for up to 10 years post contract. If there has been no engagement or interaction after that point, data will be made inactive.

Where data is held by a third party to deliver a particular service to you, the third parties are contractually obliged to delete data no later than 10 days after our contract with them has ended.
