HOW WE LOOK AFTER YOUR INFORMATION

We use appropriate technological and operational security measures to protect your information against any unauthorised access or unlawful use, such as: · ensuring the physical security of our offices, warehouses or other sites; · ensuring the physical and digital security of our equipment and devices by using appropriate password protection and encryption; · maintaining a data protection policy for, and delivering data protection training to, our employees; and · limiting access to your personal information to those in our company who need to use it in the course of their work.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF YOUR INFORMATION
