Disclosure of your information
We may share your personal information with any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our partners and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006
We may share your information with selected third parties including:
Business partners, suppliers and subcontractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you;
Advertisers and advertising networks that require the data to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others (if you have consented to this);

If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply any agreements between you; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our customers, or others.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, destinations located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) where privacy laws offer the same protection as those of the UK or the EEA, or if we have agreed to standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission with the relevant organisation. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the UK/EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers.

We ask you not to share such a password with anyone and decline any liability or loss resulting from failing to meet this request.
