Cross border data transfer
The information that we collect from you, including your personal data, may be processed in locations outside the United Kingdom and European Economic Area (EEA), where data protection laws may differ from those in effect in your jurisdiction. Where such transfers occur, we rely on adequacy decisions made under UK GDPR or EU GDPR where available, or otherwise put appropriate safeguards in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure your personal information remains adequately protected.
Standard Contractual Clauses: When we transfer the data collected from you, including personal data, to third countries that are not deemed adequate, we have agreements in place with processors in those countries that include the Standard Contractual Clauses mandated by the GDPR. For more information on Standard Contractual Clauses, please see here.
Automatic processing of data
We use automated processing of the personal information we collect to personalise our services for you and others.
Legal basis for the collection
As a UK-based company, we are required under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, and, in respect of visitors based in the EU, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, to identify and set out the legal basis, or in other words, the legal justification, for processing your personal information. The following are the legal bases on which we process your personal data.
Consent: We may process your personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy with your consent.
Your rights
In accordance with Articles 12 to 23 of the General Data Protection Regulation, the data subject, that is you, has the following rights.
- Right to object to the processing of personal data in certain circumstances. See here for details.
- Right to request access to the data we have collected about you and to receive a copy of it in an accessible format.
- Right to restrict the processing of your personal data for a limited period, under certain circumstances. See here for details.
- Right to rectify or modify personal information that you consider obsolete, incomplete, or inaccurate.
- Right to opt out of automated processing of your personal data.

To exercise any of the rights mentioned above, you may use the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, or with your local supervisory authority if you are based in the EU.
Consequences of non-consent
We require your consent to collect information in order to provide our services to you seamlessly. However, you may refuse consent. Please note that refusing consent may have consequences, including limited access to our services and reduced features on the website.
Your Privacy Rights (US Residents)
If you are a resident of a US state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law — which, as of 2026, includes California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and a growing number of other states — you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- The right to know what personal information a business has collected about you, including:
- the categories of personal information collected;
- the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected;
- the business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information;
- the categories of third parties to whom the business discloses personal information; and
- the specific pieces of personal information the business has collected about you.
- The right to delete personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
- The right to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
- The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, where applicable.
- The right to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, where applicable.
- The right to non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights.
If you are a California resident, these rights are granted specifically under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). California’s law also provides a limited private right of action in the case of certain data breaches, which is broader than most other states currently offer.
Exercising your rights
To exercise any of the rights described above, you may submit a request by contacting us directly. When you make a request, we will take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling it, which may include asking you to provide certain identifying information. You may also authorize an agent to make a request on your behalf, provided that we receive proof of your authorisation.
We will respond to your request within 45 days, and will inform you if additional time is required. There is no charge for processing a request unless it is excessive or repetitive.

Security of your personal information
We take reasonable measures to ensure that the information we collect from you is stored securely and protected to the best extent possible. However, no method of internet transmission or digital storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
