We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We may share your data only with the following categories of recipients, strictly for the purposes outlined in this policy:

  • Hosting Providers: Our website is hosted by a professional hosting provider that stores data on secure servers. They process data solely on our behalf and under our instructions, bound by data processing agreements.

  • Legal Authorities: We may disclose your data if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or if necessary to protect our legal rights or the safety of our users.

All third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf are selected carefully, are bound by data processing agreements, and are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

8. International Data Transfers

Your personal data is primarily stored and processed within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). In certain circumstances, data may be transferred to countries outside the UK or EEA when using third-party service providers (for example, if our analytics or email delivery provider operates servers in the United States or other jurisdictions).

Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), or reliance on adequacy decisions by the UK government confirming that the recipient country provides an adequate level of data protection. You may request a copy of the safeguards in place by contacting us at [email protected].
