6. International Transfers (Including Yandex.Metrica)

Many of our external third parties are based outside the UK, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK government.
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK government which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses with the UK Addendum).

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

7. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. These measures include:

• Encryption: Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest where appropriate.
• Access Controls: Strict access controls and authentication mechanisms are in place to limit who can access your data.
• Regular Audits: We regularly review our security practices and update them as necessary.
• Personnel Training: Our staff receive regular training on data protection and security best practices.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information you transmit to us or guarantee that information on our service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

8. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
