• Performance of a contract: where processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract. • Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. • Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation. • Consent: where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose. You may withdraw consent at any time.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with:

All third parties are required to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with applicable law.
7. International Data Transfers
Some of our external third-party service providers are based outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA). Where we transfer personal data outside the UK/EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or the European Commission.
8. Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
In general, we retain customer account data for the duration of the contractual relationship plus 7 years thereafter.

11. Data Security
We have put in place appropriate technical and organisational security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know.
We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
12. Data Protection Officer & Contact
