We may send you service-related communications that are necessary for your account, subscription, security, billing, or use of the service. These are not promotional in nature. We may also send marketing or promotional communications where permitted by law or where you have given consent where required.

11. International Transfers

Some of our service providers or technical systems may be located outside the United Kingdom.

  • billing and transaction records may be retained for tax, accounting, and audit purposes;
  • support records may be retained for customer service, training, legal, and quality purposes;
  • security, moderation, and enforcement records may be retained where reasonably necessary to prevent abuse, investigate incidents, or protect our rights;
  • backup copies may persist for limited periods as part of routine technical operations.
Where we no longer need personal data, we may delete it, anonymise it, or securely archive it where lawful and appropriate.

13. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no online service, website, software platform, storage system, or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
