5.2 We may pass your personal data to third parties who are service providers, agents, and subcontractors to us for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (e.g. to print newsletters, the magazine and send you mailings). We do this for the purpose of our legitimate interests in operating the Class and for performing our contract with you. However, we disclose only the personal data necessary for the third party to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own purposes.

If we decide that we are not entitled to do so, we will stop processing your personal data except that we will retain your personal data in an archived form.
