International Transfers: We operate globally and may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When we do, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by using one of the following safeguards:
- Transferring data to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of protection.
- Using specific contracts (the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses) approved for use in the UK and EEA which give personal data the same protection it has in these regions.
You can contact us for details of the specific mechanisms we use.
7. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. These include encryption, access controls, and secure development practices.
8. Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
