Who else gets your data?
Like most companies, we use other companies as part of our data processing, for example cloud services and technology services. We have Data Processing Agreements in place with these providers. Where data is transferred outside of the EEA, we ensure that appropriate protection and mechanisms are in place, for example Standard Contractual Clauses. If data is transferred from the UK to the EEA then it is done so on the basis of those countries having a comparable data protection regime to the UK (adequacy). We transfer data to third party payment providers when bank deposits and withdrawals are made.
