WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). We will only send your data outside of the EEA to comply with a legal duty or work with our suppliers in providing products and services to you. If we do transfer your personal information outside the EEA to our suppliers, we will make sure that it is protected to the same extent as in the EEA. We will use one of these safeguards:
• Transfer it to a non-EEA country where the European Commission has deemed that such country provides an adequate level of protection for personal data.
• Put in place a specific contract approved by the European Commission with the recipient that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EEA.
• Transfer it to organisations that are part of Privacy Shield. This is a framework that sets privacy standards for data sent between the US and EU countries. It makes sure those standards are similar to what is used within the EEA.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
USES MADE OF THE INFORMATION
We use information held about you in the following ways:
• To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.
• To provide you with information that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.
• To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
• To notify you about changes to our service.

• law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies; and
• outside companies we work with to provide services to you and to run our business.

We may also share your personal information if the makeup of our business structure changes in the future:
• In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
• If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
During any such process we may share your data with other parties involved. We will only do this if they agree to keep your data safe and private.
We may also share your personal data if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO GIVE US YOUR PERSONAL DATA
You can choose not to give us personal information. We may need to collect personal information by law, or to enter into or fulfil a contract we have with you.

This will only affect the way we use information when our reason for doing so is that we have your consent.
