  1. Notices to Residents of Countries Outside the United Kingdom

This Service is intended for users in the United Kingdom. If you reside outside the UK, your information will be processed in accordance with our International Privacy Policy. By using our Service or providing us with your personal data, you consent to the collection, transfer, and processing of your information in the United Kingdom. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with any data protection or privacy obligations in your jurisdiction.

  1. Data Security

We have implemented security measures designed to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, accessed, used, altered, or disclosed without authorisation. Access to your personal data is restricted to employees, agents, contractors, and third parties with a business need to know. They are subject to a duty of confidentiality and will only process your data on our instructions.

While we have taken steps to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security during transmission or storage.

  1. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes of processing, and applicable legal requirements.

In certain circumstances, you can request that we delete your data (see your legal rights below). In some cases, we may anonymise your personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice.

  1. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws regarding your personal data, including the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction of the data we hold about you.
  • Request erasure of your personal data.
  • Object to processing of your personal data.
  • Request restriction of processing your personal data.
  • Request transfer of your personal data to another party.
  • Withdraw your consent to processing.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided above.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or exercise any other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or exercise any other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person without the right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask for further information regarding your request to speed up our response.

We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made multiple requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

  1. Complaints

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe we have failed to protect your personal data or that we have infringed your rights.
