We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Google analytics and MadMimi (our newsletter provider) are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

We will not disclose your details to any third party without your prior consent, unless we have to comply with laws or legal proceedings, or to protect the rights, property, or the safety of ourselves or others, including disclosure in connection with fraud protection and credit risk reduction or in connection with the sale of the business or assets or purchases of another business.
