Third-party Service Providers working on our behalf
We may pass your information on to our resellers, carriers, distributors, agents, sub-contractors and other associated organizations (“partner”), which operate in the IT, digital and cloud sector, or prospective partners, with the purpose of them providing services to you on our behalf.

However, we will do what we can to ensure that your privacy rights in law continue to be protected. We may also share your information if there’s an emergency and we think you or other people are at risk.

13. Requesting your personal data from RiskTech
Under Chapter III of GDPR and UK GDPR, you have the right to access your personal data held by RiskTech. This is known as a Subject Access Request (SAR) and it requires the controller to provide confirmation of the processing of your personal data, a copy of your personal data and additional information. You can make a SAR to receive your own personal data, or a third party can make a SAR for you, with proof they have your permission.
To make a valid SAR, you must:
- Put your request in writing to RiskTech.
- Provide proof of your identity. There is no fee for dealing with a SAR; however, we may charge a ‘reasonable fee’ when a request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive.
The more specific you are and the more information you provide, the quicker we’ll be able to respond. We’ll respond to your request within 30 calendar days of verifying your details.
