How we protect your information

The security of your information is important to us. We protect your information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in relation to the collection, storage, and disclosure of personal data to prevent unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction. 

Your information is securely stored in the United Kingdom and Netherlands, within the EU.

Where we have relationships with other organisations that process your information on our behalf, we take care to ensure they have high data security standards. We will not allow these organisations to use your personal information for unauthorised purposes. 

If the business is reorganised or sold to another organisation, we may transfer any personal information we hold to that organisation. 

In the event that a third party may deliver all or part of the service requested by you, whilst the information you provide will be disclosed to them, it will only be used for the administration of the service provided and to maintain management information for business analysis.
