How will your data be used and shared?

We may process and share the information we obtain through cookies with:

  • group companies and/or affiliates of the group; or
  • with any third party you have asked us to share your personal data with or with organisations you have agreed to share information with, such as Facebook or other social media that act as data controllers; or

Transfer of your personal data

We may transfer your personal data to third parties located in third countries (outside the European Economic Area (EEA)), i.e. Google Analytics in the USA and LinkedIn in the USA.

Some of those countries may not have equivalent data protection laws to protect the use of your personal data. In this case, we have examined whether appropriate precautionary measures as within the EU are possible, e.g. by providing standard contractual clauses. In specific cases, we seek your prior consent to transfer your personal data outside the EEA. For more information on data transfers, please refer to our privacy policy.
