6. How we keep your personal data secure
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data that we collect and process about you. The measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing.
7. International data transfers
In some cases, where your personal data is transferred to third parties, it is processed in countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).
Specifically, our Website servers are located in the UK. Our third-party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal data we will process it in any of these countries.
Where we transfer your personal data to countries or organisations outside of the UK, which have been formally recognised as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, we rely on the relevant “adequacy regulations” (data bridges) from the Secretary of State in the UK
Where the transfer is not subject to an adequacy decision or regulations, we have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable laws.

We retain the personal data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). The specific retention periods depend on the nature of the information and why it is collected and processed and the nature of the legal requirement.
When we have no ongoing legitimate need or legal reason to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
