We will respond to your request within one month. In some cases, such as complex requests, we may extend this period by two additional months. We will inform you if we need to extend the response time.

6. Data Protection Measures

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of personal data in transit and at rest
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
  • Access controls and authentication procedures
  • Regular staff training on data protection
  • Incident response procedures
  • Regular backups and disaster recovery planning

8. International Data Transfers

We do not routinely transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). If we need to transfer your data outside the EEA, we will ensure that it is protected to the same degree as within the EEA, using appropriate safeguards such as:

  • Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
  • Transfers to countries with an adequacy decision
  • Binding corporate rules

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in our Privacy Policy or as required by law. Our retention periods are based on:

  • The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you
  • Whether we have a legal obligation to retain the data
  • Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position

10. Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

11. Children's Data

Our services are not directed at children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

12. Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe we have not complied with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

In the UK, the supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):
