We usually process your data when you request to engage with us for communication purposes. If we need to process your information for other reasons, we will do so based on one of the following grounds:
- based on your explicit consent for us to do so (for example, when you contact us);

Who do we disclose your personal data with?
Third parties
We may share your information with third parties who provide a service to us, for example, IT companies (e.g. hosting providers). We do this where it is necessary for the service provider to have access to your information and solely for the purpose of them delivering that service to us. An example of this is when you submit the Contact Us Form.
We may also disclose your personal data:
- We may share your information with our group companies if it is necessary to provide you with efficient services, such as answering your inquiries
- We may also share your information if required by law or in response to legitimate requests from government or supervisory agencies.
- In the event that we sell or merge part of our business, we may transfer your information to the acquiring company.
We only share the information that is necessary for the required purpose so we do not disclose all of the information you provide to us and we do not sell, rent or lease your personal information to third parties under any circumstances.
Aggregated or anonymised data may be shared with our service providers, affiliates or other third parties for the purpose of analytics and to improve products and services.
Security
We take measures to protect your information, but we cannot guarantee complete security. Any transmission of information is at your own risk.
We store your personal data in a centralised database hosted in the cloud.
