Under UK GDPR we must have a lawful basis for processing your data. We rely on:

09How we keep it secure
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse — including secure hosting, encrypted connections (SSL) and restricted access. While no online service can be completely secure, we take reasonable steps to keep your information safe.

11International transfers
Some of our providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place — such as UK-approved contractual clauses or an adequacy decision — so your data receives the same level of protection as it would in the UK.
