Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
• we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; and
• where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

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.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
