How long we keep your data for:
We will only keep your information for as long as we need it to provide you with the services or
information you have required, to administer your relationship with us, to comply with the law,
or to ensure we do not communicate with people that have asked us not to. When we no
longer need this information we will dispose of it securely.
Where we store your personal data
Your information may be kept on a secured computer. The data may be transferred to, and
stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed

submitting your details you agree to this transfer.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers.
The internet is not completely secure. We will do our best to protect your personal data, but we
cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your
own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security

Who has access to your information?

for which you have provided it to us (such as administering the services you have subscribed
to). Any third party agencies are carefully selected and required to demonstrate compliance to
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act (DPA).
We will only share your information with third parties where it is directly relevant to the
services you have requested.
