How Do We Use Your Data?
The information you provide is used solely to respond to your inquiry, send you our newsletter, or process your job application. Rest assured, we will never pass your data to any third party for direct marketing purposes.
Where Is Your Data Stored?
Your information is stored on secure mail servers and access-controlled SharePoint sites hosted by Microsoft, in accordance with our license agreement. Microsoft is contractually bound not to process or share any personal data. While our primary server is in the UK, data might be stored in various locations globally to enhance data durability and disaster recovery. This means some or all of your data could be stored or transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA). If this happens, we take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is treated with the same level of security as within the EEA, complying with GDPR standards.
