Our Services are global and your information (including personal data) may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers, and we may transfer your information to countries outside of your country of residence, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country of residence.
The data that we collect from you will be transferred to, and stored at, a destination inside the UK or European Economic Area (”EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers or partners.
