We will only disclose personal information about you internally, and to third-party suppliers who perform certain functions on our behalf, such as: for processing purposes associated with payment processing, the supply of goods and services, for website administration, technical IT support, data maintenance, marketing activities, or elsewhere when you have consented to such disclosures, or where such disclosures are required or permitted by law.

We take responsibility for the data that we collect about you and require those third-party suppliers with whom we share your data to apply an appropriate level of protection as compliant with the law. We ensure that we have a relevant data processing agreement in place with each third party that we work with to ensure they are compliant with privacy and data protection laws.

Any data shared with our approved third parties will be secured and/or encrypted for its protection. If you do agree but later change your mind, you may contact us and we will ensure any activities stop as soon as possible.

TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may transfer your personal information to our associated entities and other members of our group of companies (including our subsidiary in the U.S.).

Please be aware that countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) may not offer the same level of data protection as  countries within the EEA. We ensure that we have a relevant data processing agreement in place with each third party outside the EEA to ensure they are compliant with privacy and data protection laws. We will make sure that any transfer of your personal information by us will be secured and/or encrypted for its protection.
