the UK and EEA.

    similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following
    safeguards is implemented
  • We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been
    deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information.
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved
    for use in the UK and EEA which give personal data the same protection it has in
    the UK and EEA.
  • Where there is a specific exemption under data protection law which will permit us
    to make the transfer outside the UK and EEA.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by
us when transferring your personal data out of the UK and EEA.

We will only retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes
we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or
reporting requirements. For details of our different retention periods, please contact
