How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?
We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data to "third countries" - particualry the United States - which are are/is part of the European Economic Area (the "EEA" consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). "Third countries" may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR as follows.
Where we transfer your data to a third party based in the US, this may be protected if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield. This requires that third party to provide data protection to standards similar to those in Europe. More information is available from the European Commission.
Please contact us via the contact page for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data to a third country.
