- Consent: where we rely on your explicit consent, such as for certain marketing communications or optional features. You may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
- Legal obligations: where processing is required to comply with applicable laws or regulatory requirements.
If you withdraw consent and we have no other legal basis to continue processing, we will stop processing the relevant data for the purposes based on consent.

- encryption and secure communication protocols where appropriate;
- network and infrastructure security measures;
- regular security reviews, monitoring and improvements;
- internal policies, training and procedures for staff and contractors.
While we strive to provide a high level of security, no system can be guaranteed as completely impenetrable. If you notice any suspicious or unauthorised activity related to the Service, please notify us immediately using the contact details in section 11.
