data on our behalf and under contractonly in accordance with our instructions
(called 'processors') such as providers of IT support,data hosting or payment
processing services.

5.2 Vistry may also disclose your Personal Data to a Group Entity (for a purpose
as set out in the relevant Entity Privacy Policy) or to third parties who make
their own determination asto how they use your Personal Data and for what
purpose(s) such as a legal adviser or bank (who are acting as 'controllers' of
that data). More information on who those controllers are and what they do is
contained in the relevant Entity Privacy Policies. You should also check the
privacy policies of those third party controllers to understand how they may use
your Personal Data for their own purposes.

5.3 We may, very occasionally, transfer your Personal Data outside the UK or

when performing a contract with you or on your behalf; to comply with a legal
duty or in certain other situations where there is a reason to do so. When we

legal exemptions under Data Protection Law to limit our response. If you make a
subject access request, we have to balance your rights against the rights of
other individuals when your Personal Data is combined with their information.
