International transfers
Some of our service providers are based outside the United Kingdom, including in the United States. Where your personal data is transferred outside the UK, we take steps to ensure it receives an equivalent standard of protection, relying on UK adequacy regulations or on International Data Transfer Agreements and the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as appropriate.
