2. How we use your data and legal bases

Some providers may process data outside the EEA under appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses).

6. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures (hashed passwords, HTTPS, access controls) to protect your data. No method of transmission is 100% secure.

7. Children
