These third parties have access to your personal data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

We may disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

With Your Consent

We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your consent.

4. Your Rights and Choices

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to:

• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected.
• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in certain scenarios.
• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party (data portability).
• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in the "Contact Information" section below.

No Fee Usually Required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

Time Limit to Respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

5. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

We regularly review our security measures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. We also conduct regular assessments of our data processing activities to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place.

6. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.

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 unauthorized use or disclosure
• The purposes for which we process your personal data
• Whether we can achieve those purposes through other means
• The applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take necessary actions.

If we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

9. International Data Transfers

Our website is operated in the United Kingdom. If you are located outside of the UK, please be aware that information we collect will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the UK. By using our website, you consent to this transfer, processing, and storage of your information in the UK, where the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the country where you reside or are a citizen.

Where we transfer personal data to countries outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate safeguards, including:

• Using specific contracts approved for use in the UK and EU that give personal data the same protection it has in the UK and EU
• Transferring data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK or European Commission
