Where we share personal information, we do so on a “need to know” basis.

With third parties
We may share your information with selected third parties including:
- Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors.
- Advertisers and advertising networks that ask for the data to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others (depending on the permissions you give us or them).
- Government and regulatory authorities, for example to respond to a legal request or comply with a legal obligation. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- In the event that we sell, buy or merge any business or assets, including to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets and their respective professional advisers.
Finally, we may share non-personal information with other third parties that are not described above. When we do so we may aggregate or de-identify the information so that a third party would not be likely to link data to you, your computer, or your device. Aggregation means that we combine the non-personal information of numerous people together so that the data does not relate to any individual. “De-identify” means that we attempt to remove or change certain identifiers that may be used to link data to a particular person.
WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA working for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. If we transfer personal information to a third party outside of the UK or EEA, we will, as required by applicable law, ensure that your data protection rights are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the EU-US Privacy Shield or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to controllers or processors established in third countries. Please contact us if you would like more information about these safeguards.
Your personal information is kept for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Therefore, after this period data is destroyed, erased or anonymised. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

We send emails to your provided email address, such as our magazine or our brochures. Some of these emails may be tailored to you, based on your interests and any other information we may hold.
We also send you information through the post, such as our magazine and our brochures, and if you have provided your phone number we may contact you by telephone for the purposes for which you have provided this (e.g. to keep you updated on our developments).
