How & Where We Store Your Data

We keep your personal data for as long as needed for the initial purpose that it was collected.

Some (or all) of your personal data may be stored outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and you are deemed to have agreed to this by continuing to use our website and submitting any additional personal information. We take all reasonable steps to make sure that your data is stored safely and securely whether it is stored in the UK, within the EEA, or outside of it.

Your privacy and security is very important to us, and we take all available measures to protect your data (like ensuring that your connection to our website is secure via SSL certificates and securing access to your personal internally).

Data Sharing

Unless absolutely necessary for the purposes of which your personal data was collected, we do not share your data with third parties.

At times, we may work with third parties to provide products and/or services to you on our behalf. This may involve things like payment processing, contract facilitation, the delivery of your goods and services, advertising and marketing. In some cases, the third parties that we work with may require access to some or all of your data. In such cases, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is handled safely and securely by all third parties involved.

When required by law to so we may share your personal data with legal bodies and organisations. We may also sometimes share your data with third parties based outside of the EEA. Again we will always take steps to ensure the safety and protection of your personal data.

In the event that our business changes hands, your personal data will also be transferred when it is legal to do so without your express consent. This will strictly be for the use that it was initially collected.
