4. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances described below.
- Service Providers We may engage third-party vendors to perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, and customer support, under appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations.
- Legal and Regulatory Disclosures We may disclose information where required to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests from public authorities, or protect our rights, property, or safety.
- Business Transfers If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to confidentiality commitments.
Our Approach
We aim to limit data sharing to what is necessary to operate our services effectively, and we expect any third party handling data on our behalf to apply appropriate safeguards.
This policy is a general framework and does not constitute a representation of specific third-party contracts, certifications, or jurisdictions. Please adapt it to reflect your actual arrangements.
5. Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Retention Period
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When information is no longer needed, we take steps to securely delete or anonymise it.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse site traffic, and understand where our visitors come from. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect certain features of our website.
