We do not intentionally collect special category data, such as information about health, through this website. Our website is not intended for children.

We use personal data for the following purposes, relying on the lawful basis shown for each:

• To meet legal and regulatory obligations, such as anti-money-laundering checks, record keeping and responding to authorities – legal obligation.
• To set non-essential cookies, where we use them – your consent.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed our interests against your rights and freedoms. We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing, and we do not sell your personal data.

Our service providers act on our instructions and must keep your data secure.

Some of our service providers are based outside the UK, including in the United States and the European Economic Area. When personal data is transferred outside the UK, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations (including the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework), the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes set out in this policy, including to meet legal, accounting and reporting requirements.
