Where processing is required to comply with defence or regulatory obligations, this may also constitute processing necessary for legal compliance.

As a defence and aerospace manufacturer:

• Certain engagements require identity verification
• Screening may be required for export compliance

Such processing is conducted proportionately and in line with UK data protection law.

Where personal data is shared with third parties, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate contractual and organisational safeguards are in place to protect that data and that it is processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Rotron Aerospace does not sell personal data.

‍

8. International Transfers

Given the international nature of aerospace and defence programmes, data may be shared with partners outside the UK.

Where this occurs, we ensure:
