WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

During the course of providing our services to you, we may require assistance via services provided by third party companies. Where this is necessary, your details will not be passed across without your prior consent, and we do our utmost to ensure we use only the most reputable third party companies who themselves have privacy notices on their websites in keeping with GDPR regulations. We will never pass on your information to a third party without your consent.

SAFE STORAGE OF YOUR DATA

Any and all personal data belonging to you which is in our possession is stored as securely as possible. Where third party storage is used, for example in the case of cloud storage, we are reliant on the security systems in place used by cloud storage companies and cannot be held responsible should a breach occur.
