Each processor is bound by a data processing agreement and prohibited from using your data for their own purposes. We may also disclose data to regulators, courts, or law enforcement where legally required.

6. International transfers

Your personal data is stored and processed in the United Kingdom (Microsoft Azure — UK South region). Where any processor operates outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) or equivalent adequacy decisions.
