We only use your personal data where the law allows us to. Most commonly we rely on the following lawful bases:

- Regulators, law enforcement or other authorities where we are required to do so by law.
- A successor or purchaser if our business is reorganised, sold or transferred.
5. International transfers
Some of our service providers may be based outside the UK. Where we transfer personal data outside the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection by relying on an adequacy decision, the International Data Transfer Agreement, UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful safeguard.
6. How long we keep your information
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. When data is no longer needed we will delete or anonymise it.

We have put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. However, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
