However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

12. International transfers

Some of the third-party services I use may store or process personal information outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, I will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that your information receives an appropriate level of protection under applicable UK data protection law.
