7. International Transfers

Where possible, we aim to use providers that process personal data in the United Kingdom. However, some technology or service providers may store or access data outside the UK. If that happens, we will take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent lawful transfer mechanisms.

These measures may include restricted access, password protection, staff awareness, secure systems, role-based access, and appropriate record handling procedures.

No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, but we seek to apply proportionate controls appropriate to the nature of our business and the personal data involved.
