3. How We Protect Your Information

We implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure.

We take appropriate measures to ensure that any third-party service providers with whom we share personal data comply with applicable data protection laws and take reasonable measures to protect your data.

We do not currently transfer your personal data outside the UK. If such a transfer becomes necessary in the future (e.g., if you use services from third parties based outside the UK), we will ensure that appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other legal mechanisms, are in place to protect your personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
