All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers hosted by a third party within Europe. This third party has no permission to use this data. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.
Any country outside of the EEA / EU we share data with will be compliant with the level of security required for companies within https://ico.org.uk/registration/new; this includes ensuring companies in the US are members of the Privacy Shield scheme and other companies outside the US have contractual obligations in place to provide the same security.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
