6. Transfers of personal information
6.1 The personal information that we collect from you via the website and app may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA working for us, other members of our group or one of our suppliers (including third party data processors). Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of our services to you, the processing of transactions and/or the provision of support services. By providing us with your personal information you acknowledge and consent to any such transfer, storage and processing.
6.2 We will always take steps to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable privacy laws and we will take all reasonable precautions to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. However, you should be aware that countries outside the EEA may not offer the same level of protection for personal information as the United Kingdom.
7. Security of data
7.1 All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Payment transactions may be undertaken by third party service providers and will be encrypted using industry standard SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access your online account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
7.2 We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Although we make every effort to protect the personal information which you provide to us, the transmission of data over the internet is not completely secure. As such, you acknowledge and accept that we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to the website and app, and that any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access.

The website and app may, from time to time, contain links to third party websites. If you follow any such link, please note that this privacy policy only applies to the personal information that we collect and not to third party websites and apps accessed through such links. We cannot be responsible for personal information collected and stored by third parties. Third party websites and apps have their own terms and conditions and privacy policies, and you should read these carefully before you submit any personal information to these websites or apps. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for third party terms and conditions or policies.
