This also applies in cases of mergers, restructurings, consolidations, or bankruptcy, in accordance with the law.

10. Protection of Personal Data

Personal data is safeguarded using the highest-level technical and organisational measures, following gold-standard practices. These measures help prevent the unauthorised or accidental destruction of data, as well as its loss or alteration.

While we uphold the highest levels of care and gold‑standard data protection practices as set out in law, it is not possible to guarantee in every circumstance that your personal data will be maintained entirely free from error. For that reason, we cannot be held liable in any case where personal data is disclosed, or suffers damage of an incidental, intangible, or consequential nature. This includes circumstances beyond our control, such as disclosures arising from transmission errors, unauthorised third‑party access, system failures, or any other similar causes of this nature.

In response to legally binding requests from regulators, law enforcement, or other public authorities, we may be obliged to disclose your personal data to those bodies. Once disclosed under a legal mandate, we cannot control how such authorities handle, store, secure, or otherwise use your personal data.

Anything sent over the internet, including personal information, carries a risk of interception and is not completely secure. The Company cannot guarantee the security of any data transmitted online.

11. Links to third-party websites

On this website, you may encounter links to third-party applications and websites. Please note that these are neither affiliated with nor controlled by the company, and our privacy policy does not apply to them. They maintain their own policies and priorities for collecting and processing personal data, for which we are not responsible. Use at your own discretion.

Always review the privacy policy of any company or service when you visit their website before sharing any personal data. Ensure their data collection, use and processing policies align with your preferences and priorities. Any data you choose to share should be provided directly to the service provider.

12. Policy Amendments

We reserve the right to update or amend our policy at any time. We will notify you of any changes via this website and any other appropriate channels. The updated privacy policy will be published on this website and will take effect immediately upon publication, unless stated otherwise.

13. Your rights regarding personal data

You retain full control and the final say over how your personal data is used, including verifying its accuracy, correcting errors, and choosing to delete it or restrict the scope and nature of any processing we undertake.

On this page, EEA residents will find information relevant to them:

Your personal data is protected by the rights set out herein. By emailing the address below, you may exercise those rights immediately.

Accessing Your Rights

If the personal data you have provided to us is accurate, you may access it at any time. Any of your personal data we process is accessible to us and thus verifiable.

You may request a copy of your personal data for verification at any time, and it will be provided to you in electronic format. If you request further copies of the personal data we process beyond the initial copy provided to you, a reasonable fee may be charged.

Rights granted by law and the privacy policy must not infringe the rights of others. The company reserves the right to refuse or restrict access to personal data where access would infringe the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to Rectification

Any errors in your personal data, whether due to omissions or inaccuracies, may be corrected by you or by the Company to ensure it can be processed correctly.

Erasure Rights

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in the following circumstances. 1) If your personal data has been processed without your consent or outside legal boundaries. 2) When you request its removal and the Company has no legal obligation to retain it. 3) If you object to processing by us, even where lawful and based on our or a third party’s legitimate interests, and, finally, 4) If we are required by law to delete your data.

The right to erasure may be overridden or superseded by legal obligations under EU or Member State law. Likewise, this applies where data is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to Restrict Data Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal information if you believe it contains inaccuracies.

If you request that the use of your personal data be restricted, it will be deleted except in the following cases: 1) where EU or Member State law prevents deletion. 2) With your consent, where required for the defence or exercise of legal claims. 3) Where necessary to protect the rights of another natural person.

Your Right to Data Portability

You have the right to access and review any personal data you have provided, if you have consented in any form to its collection and the processing is carried out by automated systems.

You have the right to request the transfer of any or all personal data to another company or organisation, where this is technically feasible. This does not affect your right to have your data erased. This right cannot be exercised if doing so would infringe the rights or freedoms of another individual.

Right to object to data processing

Notwithstanding the Company’s right to pursue its legitimate interests, or those of a third-party service provider, you have the right to object to processing and require that it stop. This does not apply where there is a compelling legal requirement to continue processing, including for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. In such circumstances, we may continue processing your personal data.

You may at any time request that your personal data is not processed for the purposes of any direct marketing activities.

Right to Withdraw or Refuse Consent

You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data at any time and, where possible, with immediate effect. This does not apply retrospectively to any processing carried out before your withdrawal of consent.

If you are dissatisfied for any reason, you have the right to lodge a complaint with any legal, regulatory, or other supervisory authority.

If you believe your rights and freedoms have been infringed in relation to the processing of your personal data, European Union Member States have established regulatory and supervisory authorities to handle such matters. You may lodge a complaint with these authorities at your discretion.

Section 13 sets out the circumstances in which your personal data rights may be limited by European Union law or the laws of its Member States.

Once we receive your request concerning your personal data and its processing, we will provide access to the information you have requested, as set out in Section 13 of this policy. We may extend this timeframe by up to two months, depending on the volume of requests and the nature of your request. If an extension is required, we will notify you within one month of receiving your request.

Requested information will be supplied to you electronically at no charge, except where this would contravene the law or the provisions of Section 13. We reserve the right to levy a reasonable fee or decline a request if it is considered spurious, excessive, or repetitive.

We reserve the right to request additional proof of identity where there is any reasonable doubt about the individual making the personal data request, for data protection and security purposes.
