We may share your personal data with carefully selected third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. These third parties act as data processors or independent controllers, depending on the circumstances.

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure. These measures include access controls, secure storage, staff training and procedures for handling any suspected data breaches. While we strive to protect your data, no system can be completely secure, and you share information with us at your own risk.

The right to request the transfer of your personal data to you or another organisation in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, where technically feasible.
