8. Who we share personal data with
We may share your personal data with our service providers (who process personal data on our behalf) and other third parties (who may use your personal data for their own purposes).
Service providers
We rely on third party service providers to process your personal data where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:
- website hosting, cloud service and infrastructure providers;
- IT support, cybersecurity and system administration providers;
- analytics and website performance providers, where the use of analytics cookies has been consented to; and
- customer relationship management (CRM), enquiry management and communications service providers.
These third parties act on our behalf when processing your personal data. This means that they will only use your personal data in accordance with our instructions and not for their own purposes. We require all third-party service providers to provide contractual commitments to ensure the protection and security of your personal data, in accordance with data protection laws.

We may also share your personal data with other third parties, including:
- professional advisers, such as lawyers, accountants, auditors and other consultants;
- insurers, brokers and insurance providers;
- regulators, governmental bodies, public authorities or law enforcement agencies where required or permitted by law;

These third parties will process your personal data for their own purposes, or in accordance with specific laws and regulations which they are subject to. They may publish or share with you their own privacy notice which explains how they use your personal data if their purposes are different from our purposes set out in this notice.
9. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom, or they may in turn use service providers in their supply chains located outside of the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that it remains protected and is processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
These measures may include relying on UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism recognised under UK data protection law.
10. Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, regulatory, accounting and business requirements. Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is processed. Where appropriate, we may anonymise personal data so that it can no longer be associated with an individual.
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 (such as by using anonymised data), and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
11. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, secure hosting, encryption where appropriate, security monitoring and staff awareness measures.

We do not use automated processes to make legal or significant decisions about individuals.

- request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances;
