- Legal authorities — where we are required to disclose data by law, court order, or regulatory authority
All third-party service providers we use are required to process your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
6. International Data Transfers
Some of our third-party service providers operate outside the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR, including the use of standard contractual clauses or transfers to countries with an adequacy decision from the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
