We do not allow Personal Data to be made commercially available to any third party unless we have first obtained your prior permission.
8. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
9. TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OTHER COUNTRIES
When providing our services, we may need to transfer your Personal Data outside of the country in which you are located for the purposes set out in this Policy.
