  • in each case, in accordance with this privacy policy. We do not sell or share your data with other third parties for unrelated purposes.

 

Keeping data secure

We will use technical and organisational measures to safeguard your data, for example:

Data provided by users will, where it is relevant to any part of our business so transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this privacy policy, be permitted to use the data for the purposes for which it was originally supplied to us.

 

We may also disclose data to a prospective purchaser of our business or any part of it.

 

In the above instances, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring your privacy is protected.

 

General
