Transfers of your data to third parties

We do not disclose your Personal Data to any third parties except as stated in this Privacy Notice, as otherwise permitted by law, or as authorised by you.

It may also be necessary for us to disclose your Personal Data to public or regulatory authorities in order for us to perform our contract with you or to comply with any legal or regulatory obligations to which we or you are subject.

Security

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.
