6. Sharing Your Data
We may share your personal data with internal and external third parties, such as service providers acting as processors (IT and system administration services), professional advisers (lawyers, bankers, auditors), and HM Revenue & Customs or other authorities based in the UK. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
7. International Transfers
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented: transferring to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the UK government, or using specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
