Storage, transfers and disclosure

Storage & Transfers

Save where indicated otherwise, your personal data is securely stored in the EU. Where we use data processors outside the UK and European Economic Area, and transfer personal data to a country which does not provide an adequate level of protection, we use contracts or other safeguards which give personal data the same or equivalent protection it has in Europe or the UK. For more information drop us a line using the contact details at the start of this policy.

Disclosure

We may disclose your personal data:

  • Where required by law, government, competent authorities or the courts or to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights, and for the purposes of preventing crime and fraud (for example, we may share personal data with our professional advisors, investigators, or credit reference agencies).
  • With members of our corporate group, insurers, advisers, suppliers and subcontractors, as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.
  • With our service providers and subcontractors, provided that they only use that personal data on our instructions and not for their own independent purposes.
  • If involved in an investment, merger, acquisition, or sale of our organisation or assets, personal data we hold may be shared on the basis of the legitimate interests of us, our shareholders, customers and other parties to a transaction, unless those interests are outweighed by prejudicial impacts upon you.
