If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

Disclosure of your information

Like most organisations, we may engage service providers to run our website and IT systems, to handle email marketing campaigns and to perform other services on our behalf.

We will only provide these companies with the information they need to deliver the service we have engaged them for and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. Whenever we share personal information about our customers or visitors to our website with our service providers, we will put in place contracts which require the service provider to protect the information and keep it secure.

Some of those third party recipients may be based outside the United Kingdom and European Economic Area — for further information including on how we safeguard your personal data when this occurs, see ‘Transfer of your information out of the UK and EEA’.

Transfer of your information out of the UK and EEA

Some of the companies who provide services to us may be located outside the United Kingdom. We use payment service providers who are located in the United States, for example. As a result, your personal information may be transferred outside the UK. Where we are required to do so, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in places before we transfer your personal information outside the UK, including, where appropriate, requiring the service provider to sign up to approved European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses.

We use MailChimp, a US-based email service, to store your details and send you communications when you sign up to our mailing list. In the process of working with Mailchimp your data may be transferred outside the UK and the EEA, to the US.
