The country to which the information is sent would depend on the individual circumstances of the case.

If it becomes necessary to store or disclose personal or sensitive information outside of the United Kingdom, where practicable an indemnity will be sought from the recipient of the information, which indemnifies us and you against claims for the recipient’s breach of the Data protection Act 2018.

The transmission and exchange of information is carried out at your own risk. We cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us, or receive from us. Although we take measures to safeguard against unauthorised disclosures of information, we cannot guarantee you that personal information that we collect will not be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
