where you have provided your consent to us.
3. Purposes for processing your personal data

regulatory entities in a course of an investigation/formal request.
As Teya is a global entity, it may be necessary to transfer your personal data outside the UK/EEA.

5. Data retention
We keep your personal data for no longer than necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

7. Your rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:
