Who we share your data with
Your personal data may be disclosed internally when passed from one department to another in accordance with the data protection principles and this Notice. Personal data is not passed to any internal department or any individual that does not reasonably require access to that personal data with respect to the purpose(s) for which it was collected and is being processed.
We will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose your personal information to any third-party without your consent except in the following circumstances:
- Trusted third-party providers: Where we use or partner with trusted third-party providers to provide services for us, including, for example, the delivery and processing of any necessary marketing materials and other IT and operational services. These companies will have access to only the personal data needed to perform their specific functions and not for any other purposes. They are bound by data processing agreements as well as their own privacy policies.

Data transfers outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”)
Countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) are required to have a similar standard of protection of personal data. This is not always the case outside that area. We do not transfer data outside the EEA, but in the event that we do, before doing so, we will take steps to ensure that there is adequate protection, as required by the legislation.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information by means of the internet, including through e-mail, 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 or from us by means of e-mail and any such transmission is at your own risk.
Data retention
It is our aim to only hold your data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was gathered. In certain circumstances there may be legal requirements to keep data for a minimum period of time. We may store it for a longer period if so required for example, by applicable laws, regulators, payment protection, law enforcement or for secure archiving. In any case of longer storage by us, the terms of this privacy notice will continue to apply.
