Where we store your Personal Data for EU Customers only

 

We will not transfer, or store, any of the Personal Data that we collect from you at a destination outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

 

Our Service is accessible via the Internet and may potentially be accessed by any user around the world. Other users may access the Service from outside the EEA.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Service; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

 

The Service may contain links to and from third party websites of our partners, networks, advertisers and affiliate.
