International transfers of personal data
It is possible that personal data we collect from you may be transferred, used, stored and/or accessed outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA), specifically in the United States of America and Australia.
In connection with such transfers we will take appropriate measures to ensure that the recipient protects your personal data adequately in accordance with data protection law. These measures include:
- putting appropriate safeguards in place such as binding corporate rules or model or approved contractual clauses, a copy of which can be obtained by contacting us using the contact details set out in section 2; or
- where the transfer is to a country that provides an adequate level of protection such as to a country approved by the relevant supervisory body or authority; or
- where a derogation for specific situations applies to the transfer including, by way of example, explicit consent or the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract or exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where we store your personal data
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information that is provided through the website. All personal information provided to us via the website is stored on a server in a secure environment. Our payment provider uses secure socket layer (SSL) technology which means the card payment data you enter through the website is fully encrypted. Where we have given you a password to access certain parts of the website, you are responsible for keeping that password secure and confidential.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and after it is received. Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, while we take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
How long we store your personal data
We will store your personal data for the time period which is appropriate in accordance with our data retention policy. We keep the length of time that we hold your personal data for under review. These reviews take place annually.
Contractual or statutory requirements on you to provide personal data
In certain circumstances the provision of personal data by you is a requirement:
- to comply with the law or a contract; or
- necessary to enter into a contract.
It is your choice as to whether you provide us with your personal data necessary to enter into a contract or as part of a contractual requirement. If you do not provide your personal data then the consequences of failing to provide your personal data are that we may not be able to perform to the level you expect under our contract with you. An example of this would be where we are unable to provide you with certain goods or services as we do not have your full details, or where we cannot perform our contract with you at all because we rely on the personal data you provide in order to do so.
Your rights in relation to your personal data
Subject to applicable law including relevant data protection laws, in addition to your ability to withdraw any consent you have given to our processing your personal data (see the relevant section above), you may have a number of rights in connection with the processing of your personal data, including the right:
- of access to, rectification of, and/or erasure of your personal data;
- to restrict or object to its processing;
- to tell us that you do not wish to receive marketing information;
- in some circumstances, to require certain of your personal data to be transferred to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to have your personal data transferred to another controller, to the extent applicable in law;
- to the extent our processing of your personal data is based upon your consent, to withdraw your consent, without affecting the lawfulness of our processing based on your consent before its withdrawal;
- the right to lodge complaints regarding the processing of your personal data with the Information Commissioner’s Office or other relevant supervisory body. Please see https://ico.org.uk/concerns/ for how to do this.
If you would like to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the contact details set out in section 2.

It is your choice as to whether you provide us with your personal data necessary to enter into a contract or as part of a contractual requirement. If you do not provide your personal data then the consequences of failing to provide your personal data are that we may not be able to perform to the level you expect under our contract with you. An example of this would be where we are unable to provide you with certain goods or services as we do not have your full details, or where we cannot perform our contract with you at all because we rely on the personal data you provide in order to do so.
