Service providers

We work with carefully selected service providers who perform specific functions on our behalf. Those include, for example, companies that help us to provide: client services, technology services, storing and linking data, processing payments and delivering orders. We only share personal data that enables our providers to provide those services.

Some of the service providers we work with operate on-line media channels within which they place advertisements relevant to our services and also for our providers. For example, you may see an advertisement for our services when you use a certain social media site or watch web TV.

7. How and why we share personal data with other entities

We may share personal data with other organisations or Users in the following circumstances:

when the law or a public authority claims that we must share personal data, e.g. this is required by the tax office, law enforcement authorities or a general or administrative court;
where we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our rights (including transferring personal data to others for fraud prevention and credit risk mitigation);

8. How we protect your personal data

We know how important it is to properly secure and manage personal data. This section presents a selection of the measures we have introduced. To ensure the security of your data we use computer security features such as:

we enforce physical, electronic and procedural safe guards relating to the collection, storage and disclosure of personal data;
physical access controls to our buildings and files;
firewalls and encryption of data during transmission using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

However, although appropriate technical and organisational measures have been taken to protect personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data sent to us over the Internet.

The personal data we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by companies operating outside the EEA that work for us or for one of our service providers. If we do so, we ensure that your privacy rights are respected in accordance with this Policy. The most common way we do this is by introducing a specific type of contract (for more information on this topic, see here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law- topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu_en) or through an approved programme such as Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.
