In some cases, we use suppliers located in various countries to collect, use, analyse, and otherwise process personal data on our behalf. These suppliers are called data processors. It is our practice to require such data processors to handle personal data in a manner consistent with our policies. We also engage with other businesses, which cannot be considered data processors, to deliver our services. These businesses are data controllers and include, for example, postal services and logistics companies.

We may transfer your personal data to so-called “third-countries” outside the EU/EEA, including the United States, Switzerland, India and Russia.
