Where we rely on cookies to collect any personal data please see our cookie policy for more information and how to manage your cookie choices.
We may transfer your personal information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected, including Brazil. The countries to which we transfer personal information may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the personal information.
We do not aim any of our products or services directly at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data about children under 13. Some of our services may have a higher age restriction and this will be shown at the point of registration.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational controls to protect your personal data against unauthorised processing and against accidental loss, damage or destruction. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data once with us, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data sent to our site while still in transit and so you provide it at your own risk.
We may share your data for administrative purposes, or when we have a legitimate interest in doing so. For example:
We may share your personal data to any other organisation that buys, or to which we transfer all, or substantially all, of our assets and business. If this sale or transfer ever takes place, we will use reasonable efforts to try to make sure that the organisation we transfer your personal data to uses it in line with our privacy policy.
Any organisations which access your data in the course of providing services on our behalf will be governed by contractual restrictions to make sure that they protect your data and keep to all data privacy laws that apply.
We keep your personal data for only as long as we need to. How long we need your personal data depends on what we are using it for, as set out in this privacy policy. For example, we may need to use it to answer your queries about a product or service and as a result may keep personal data while you are still using our product or services. If we no longer need your data, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.
If we have asked for your permission to process your personal data and we have no other lawful grounds to continue with that processing, and you withdraw your permission, we will delete your personal data. However, when you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we will keep your email address to ensure that we do not send you any marketing in future.
If we have your permission, we may send you materials we think may interest you, such as new contente or information.
You can decide not to receive these emails at any time and will be able to “unsubscribe” directly by clicking a link in the email.
Sometimes we may contact you for market research purposes, for example about a survey.
If you have raised a query or a complaint with us, we may contact you to answer your query or to resolve your complaint.
