Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.
Transferring data internationally
Some of the companies we work with are based outside the EEA which means they have more lenient data protection laws. We only work with companies who we trust to keep your information safe, and we share the minimum amount of information necessary to provide our services.
Security
We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. The processing of your information will be conducted in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
How long your personal information will be kept
In providing services to you, we will hold personal information for as long as are providing you with the services for or to comply with our legal obligations, enforce the terms of our contracts, resolve disputes or prevent abuse. Otherwise, we only hold personal information for as long as is necessary.
