We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party analytics services to help us understand website usage. These services may set their own cookies and collect data as described in their respective privacy policies. Where such services process personal data, they do so as data processors acting on our instructions or as independent controllers under their own privacy policies.

Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include encrypted connections (HTTPS), regular software updates and restricted access to server infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
