• our legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries, operating our services, maintaining business relationships and protecting our Website, provided those interests do not override your rights;

7. International transfers
Our business may involve communications with service providers, manufacturers, suppliers or business partners located in countries other than your own. As a result, relevant business contact or project information may be transferred internationally when necessary for an enquiry or project.
Where applicable data protection laws require safeguards for an international transfer, we will take steps to use an appropriate transfer mechanism and safeguards.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.
10. Data security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
