7. Recipients and international transfers
We may share data with trusted processors who assist with hosting, email delivery, analytics (when enabled), payment processing, and customer support tools. Processors act only on our instructions and must provide adequate safeguards.
If data is transferred outside the European Economic Area or the UK, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or equivalent mechanisms approved under applicable law.
8. Security measures
We implement technical and organizational measures including HTTPS encryption for data in transit, access controls for administrative systems, regular software updates, employee confidentiality obligations, and vendor security reviews. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we encourage strong passwords on any accounts we provide and prompt reporting of suspected incidents.
