HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
We share your information within our group company and subsidiaries for the purposes set out above in this policy.
We use third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as sending out email newsletters or hosting our customer relationship management and accounting data. We only disclose the information necessary to enable these service providers to perform their services. We require our service providers to maintain confidentiality and security of all personal information that they process on our behalf, and they are not permitted to use this information for any other purpose.
We may disclose personal information if we reasonably believe we are legally obliged to, or in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual unlawful or otherwise prohibited activities, such as hacking, misuse, or fraud.

Some of the countries in which our companies or service providers are located may not have the privacy and data protection laws that are equivalent to those in the country in which you initially provided the information. Where the country to which your data is transferred has not been found to provide an adequate level of protection, we protect your information with appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.

- Request to receive some of your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and request that we transfer such information to another party
- Withdraw your consent at any time when we are relying on consent to process your personal information (although this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent).
As a security measure, we may need specific information from you to help us confirm your identity when processing your privacy requests or when you exercise your rights.
We will respond to all legitimate requests within one (1) month. Occasionally, it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests. Any request will normally be addressed free of charge. However, we may charge a reasonable administration fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
