This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK.

Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we will ensure that your data is treated securely and to a similar degree of protection by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- entering into a specific contract with the receiving party which is approved for use in the UK which gives personal data the same protection it has in the UK;
- ensuring that the receiving party has approved binding corporate rules (requiring group companies to follow the same rules when processing your data); or
- the receiving party is based in a country deemed to provide adequate protection to personal data by the European Commission.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, systems, software and services you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
