Who we share your data with
We may disclose your personal data to any member of our group of companies (this means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and all its subsidiaries) insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes, and on the legal bases, set out in this policy.
We may disclose your personal data to our insurers and/or professional advisers insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining insurance coverage, managing risks, obtaining professional advice, or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.
We may disclose your enquiry data to one or more of those selected third party suppliers of goods and services identified on our website for the purpose of enabling them to contact you so that they can offer, market and sell to you relevant goods and/or services. When processing PayPal payments, some of your data will be passed to PayPal, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

How we protect your data
The security of your personal information is of paramount importance to us and we use a wide range of technical and organisational security measures to safeguard it, including physical, electronic, and procedural controls.
What data breach procedures we have in place
We protect customer data with the following site features:

- Databases are sanitized (actual user personal details are removed) before deploying to development or testing environment.
- The software used to run this website is constantly updated as and when updates, including security updates, become available.
In case of a data breach, System Administrators will immediately go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.

We receive no data from third parties other than analytics information (refer to the Analytics section above).
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
We do not use automated decision-making. Regarding profiling, we use the tracking tool Google Analytics (refer to the Analytics section above).
