We have created this Privacy Centre to set out the personal data that we collect, use and process at LEWIS.
Given the different types of audiences (or “Data Subjects”) that we interact with day to day, this Privacy Centre is split into a Data Privacy Overview and specific sections addressing how we cover certain types of Data Subjects who we commonly deal with.
This Privacy Centre (together with any terms of use, terms of services and any other documents referred to by this policy) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.
References to LEWIS, or “We”, or “Us” are to the data controller, which, unless otherwise stated is in reference to LEWIS Communications Limited of Millbank Tower, Millbank, London SW1P 4RS. For the different market versions of this website, the data controllers are set out in the data processor summary sheet provided in this link.
For more specific details as to what may apply to you, or about anything covered in this overview, please see the following:

How can you remove your personal information?
You may request the deletion or the change of your own personal information by writing to dataprotection@teamlewis.com. We will delete the data without unnecessary delay upon receiving the request for deletion, unless we need to retain the information to comply with the applicable legal provisions or governmental requests, or to protect the rights and property of LEWIS.
Where we store your personal data
Where we store your personal data in our own systems, it is stored in the region the data is stored. If your data is collected in EMEA, then the data is stored in the LEWIS EMEA office where the computer system is located, and it is backed up inside EMEA, in Ireland. If your data is collected in the US, then it is stored in the LEWIS US offices and backed up in our systems in the US. If your data is collected in APAC, then it is stored in the LEWIS APAC office and backed up in our systems in Singapore.
The data that we collect from you and process using LEWIS’ Services may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your orders for goods and services, the processing of payment details and the provision of services including support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
In particular, your data may be accessible to i) LEWIS staff in our various offices globally or ii) may be stored by LEWIS’ hosting service provider on servers in the USA and APAC as well as in the EU. Therefore your data may be transferred and/or in countries outside the European Economic Area, including some that may not have laws that provide the same level of protection for personal information. When we do this, we’ll ensure it has an appropriate level of protection. For example, by entering into a data processor agreement with these entities. These data processor agreements are designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal data.
