Disclosing data to service providers
To provide our products and services, we may need to pass information on to our agents and sub-contractors or appoint other organisations to carry out some of the processing activities on our behalf, such as mailing houses or printers.
In such cases, we will request your approval to do so, and ensure that your information is protected and used in accordance with this privacy policy.

Some of these countries may not have laws that protect privacy rights as extensively as in the European Union. If we do transfer your personal information to other territories, we will take proper steps to ensure that your information is protected and that we only deal with suppliers outside the EU who are GDPR-compliant and have policies in place to protect your data.
