I take every precaution to safeguard your data. However, when you click on links in my website, it may direct you away from my website. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites you visit and your use of such other websites will be subject to the other websites terms. The security of your Personal Information is important to me, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. 
I may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate my services, to provide the service on my behalf in order to perform service-related services or to assist me in analysing how my service is used.  These third parties are known as ‘data processors’, and they have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.​  Occasionally I may need to transfer your data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), such as where a server supporting our website maybe based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. If this happens, I'll take precautions to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected to a similar degree as outlined in this Policy Statement.

Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.  If you are located outside United Kingdom and choose to provide information to me, please note that I may transfer the information, including Personal Information, to United Kingdom and process it there.  In the event that a dispute arises with regards to the international transfer of data, you agree that the courts of England (Great Britain) shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter.
Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
