For the above purposes, we may share your information with our services providers, business partners and affiliated entities, always under the same restrictions with regards to data security and for processing exclusively on our behalf in line with this privacy policy.

All of the information we collect or record is restricted and only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to your information. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of your data is outside our control and any such transmission is at your own risk. However, we will try to protect all personal information collected through this website in accordance with strict data protection standards, including monitoring and restricting access to specific individuals with appropriate login credentials.
Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and process personal data may involve the transmission of data internationally. Therefore, by using the site and submitting your personal information, you acknowledge our processing of your information in this way. We may need to transfer your information to third parties that are located inside and outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including in countries that do not provide the same level of protection for personal data. If that’s the case, we will only transfer personal data to recipients that provide an adequate level of data protection or as permitted by applicable data protection laws.
We are aware of the need for user privacy and risks associated with use of the Internet and we advise you to refer to Get Safe Online (www.getsafeonline.org) to find out more about how to protect your information and devices from online threats. Get Safe Online is supported by HM Government and major private entities.
We do not knowingly collect data on persons below 18 years of age and we do not normally include content that is reasonably considered unsuitable for children. However, we encourage parents to spend time with their children online and to be fully familiar with the sites their children visit. Further, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from any persons under the age of 18 or knowingly allow them to submit their personal information. If you become aware that we may have collected personal information from a person under the age of 18 without parental consent, please contact us using the details from our contact us page and we will remove the information from our files.
