Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of your support services. However, we will transfer your personal data only to a country that the European Commission has decided is a country which ensures an adequate level of protection or if we have otherwise provided for other appropriate safeguards to legitimise such data transfers.

4.3 Whenever we share your personal data with third parties, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected under the applicable data protection legislation.

(d) To ensure the required level of payment security, we will always use a PCIDSS compliant payment gateway to store, process and transmit your payment card data.

(e) We reserve the right to change our payments gateway at our sole discretion, provided any such payment gateway meets this security compliance level.
