Disclosure of your information

There are a range of circumstances where we may disclose your data to third parties. These may include (i) regulatory bodies as required by applicable law, (ii) our suppliers who may be involved in the fulfilment of our services to you (iii) third party marketing, where you have consented for us to do so, and (iv) debt recovery agencies.

Controlling the use of your data

Where we rely on consent as the lawful basis for processing your data you can revoke or vary that consent at any time. If you do not want us to use your data or want to vary the consent that you have provided you can email us at at any time.

Data storage and the transfer of your data

As part of the services offered to you, for example through our Website, the information you provide to us may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) as we may use remote website server hosts to provide the website and some aspects of our service, which may be based outside of the EEA, or use servers based outside of the EEA. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for one of our suppliers, e.g. our website server host, or work for us when temporarily outside of the EEA.

If we transfer or store your personal data outside the EEA in this way, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected, as outlined in this privacy policy. Where we use suppliers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

Security

We take the confidentiality of personal information very seriously and use recognized security and access controls to protect the information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or corruption. We have procedures and processes in place to ensure that your personal information is managed appropriately.

However, we will always recommend that you take your own precautions to protect your own personal data whilst using the Internet, including this website.

Data retention

The length of time that we retain, and store data depends on the purpose for which it was collected.
