Aggregated or de-identified data. We may share statistics that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

"Sharing" for targeted advertising (CPRA). Under California law, using cookies or pixels to show you interest-based ads may be considered "sharing" or a "sale" of personal information.

6. International Transfers

We may store and process your information in other countries where our service providers operate, including the United States, the European Union and Singapore.

Where we transfer personal information out of the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards — the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, and, where relevant, additional technical and organisational measures such as encryption in transit, access controls and data minimisation.

9. How We Protect Your Information

We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect your information, including:

  • regular software updates, backups and monitoring;
  • contractual data-protection obligations with our service providers;
  • limiting access to personal information to staff who need it to do their job.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If a breach affects your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.

The Site may link to third-party websites, and may include social sharing buttons, embedded videos or plug-ins. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties; please review their privacy policies. Interacting with a social plug-in may allow the relevant platform to collect information about you.
