​

• To perform our contractual obligations to you; and/or

• To satisfy any legal and regulatory obligations to which we are subject; and/or

• To satisfy our legitimate interests in the effective delivery of information and services to you and in the effective and lawful operation of our businesses (where this does not interfere with your rights); and/or

​

Security of Your Personal Information

​

We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect your personal information from loss and misuse.

Only authorised persons are provided access to personal information we have collected, and such individuals have contractually agreed to maintain the confidentiality of this information.

​

Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your personal information, the transmission of data over the internet (including by e-mail) is never completely secure.

​

We endeavour to protect personal information, but we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to or by us.

 

Transferring, Sharing and Disclosing Your Personal Information

​

We may transfer, share or disclose the personal information we collect from you to third parties (other organisations or individuals) for:

​

• As agreed between you and us.

​

We may transfer share or disclose personal information to third party service providers in the following categories: internet providers, companies specialising in IT and telematics services; companies that carry out marketing activities, including social media organisations (purely to enable us to provide our services and not for any third party marketing activity); companies specialising in market research and data processing; companies providing publishing and distribution services.

​

These third parties may use subcontractors (known as sub-processors) that have access to your personal information.

​

We only use third parties that are legally and contractually bound to maintain what we consider to be appropriate levels of security and confidentiality.

The third parties we are most likely to transfer, share or disclose the personal data we collect from you include, but are not limited to:

​

• Mailchimp

​

Where we use third parties to process personal information on our behalf, we ensure that they are legally and contractually obligated to maintain the same level of security and confidentiality as us and to impose the same level obligations on their subcontractors (if any).

We may also disclose personal information to third parties under the following circumstances:

​

• When explicitly requested by you

• When required to deliver goods or services requested by you

​

Retention (Storage) of Your Personal Information

​

We will retain your personal information only for as long as we need to use it, given the purposes for which it was collected, or as required to do so by law. For example, this means:

​
