Our service providers are required to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to your personal data by ensuring that either:

there are UK ‘adequacy regulations’ about the country or territory where the receiver is located or a sector which covers the receiver; or
-
we are putting in place one of the ‘appropriate safeguards’ referred to in the UK GDPR, such as the IDTA or Binding Corporate Rules; or
-
having carried out a risk assessment, we are satisfied that for the data subjects of the transferred data, the relevant protections under the UK data protection regime will not be undermined; or
-
an exception provided for in the UK GDPR applies, such as for contractual reasons for the conclusion or performance of a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures or where we are required to submit certain information to financial regulatory bodies.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. 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. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
