When personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and we are not required by law to retain it, we will delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you.
Data Processors and Third Parties
We may use carefully selected third-party service providers to process personal data on our behalf. These providers act as data processors and may only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. They are required to implement appropriate security measures and to protect the confidentiality of your information.
Examples of such processors may include companies that provide booking or scheduling systems, secure data storage, or accountancy and administration support. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Where we share personal data with third parties that act as independent data controllers, such sharing will only occur where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or where we are required to do so by law.
International Data Transfers
If we use service providers that process personal data outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, such as standard contractual clauses or other data transfer mechanisms recognised by data protection laws.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. Measures may include access controls, secure storage, and restricting access to personal data to those who have a business need to know. While we strive to protect your personal data, no system can be completely secure, and you should take care when providing information to us.
