How we keep your data secure and who processes your data

We perform the processes above with the support of trusted partners and suppliers, who will be held to the same standards of compliance as we are ourselves. We ensure they store the data securely and are contractually obliged to adhere to all the data regulations required by law.

We currently use third party suppliers to collect and/or process your data on our behalf to deliver process payments, operate our website and analyse trends. We only provide them with the data needed to deliver the specific service. A small number of our suppliers may transfer your data outside the EEA, if they do, we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in the EEA. We’ll check for one of these safeguards:

  • Transfer it to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA.
  • Have a contract with the recipient that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EEA. 
  • Transfer it to organisations that are part of Privacy Shield. This is a framework that sets privacy standards for data sent between the US and EU countries. It makes sure those standards are similar to what is used within the EEA.

We will periodically assess our trusted partners and suppliers to ensure they are adhering to the required standards.
