You acknowledge that any information that you post using our social media facilities will be viewable by anybody who visits those websites and that such information is also subject to the relevant provider’s privacy policy.

10) Security and International Transfers

We will take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data. However, the Internet is global and no data transmitted via the Internet can be guaranteed by us to be completely secure during transmission. We cannot guarantee the security of any data that you disclose online and we will not be responsible for any breach of security unless this is due to our negligence or wilful default.

Our website is hosted in the UK and all data provided to us is stored within our servers located in the UK or the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Sometimes we may need to transfer personal data we collect from you to third-party data processors in countries that are outside the EEA - for example, this might be required in order to fulfil your order, process your payment details or provide support services. If we do this, we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • The transfer is to a third party located in a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
  • The transfer is subject to use of a contract approved by the European Commission which gives personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
  • The transfer is to a third party based in the US which is part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

In the absence of an adequacy decision in respect of the relevant country, or appropriate safeguards as detailed above, we will not transfer your personal data outside of the EEA unless we have a lawful basis for doing so (for example, because you have explicitly consented to the proposed transfer).
