Our servers are located in the United Kingdom. If you are accessing our Website from outside the United Kingdom, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the UK, the EU, and other countries.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area, these countries may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will however take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.
European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses: We have implemented the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies and with third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect personal information originating from the EEA in accordance with European data protection laws. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request.

No purpose in this notice will require keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or securely store and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
7. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure environment.
