We process data using secure cloud applications which enable your information to be accessed for the purposes of analytics, development and testing, and to provide recruitment services where you have expressed an interest

Within the scope of the purposes outlined above, we may outsource collected personal information to outside contractors/third parties. If we do so, we will take contractual measures to ensure that they process your data in a manner consistent with this Policy. For those companies who operate in countries which do not offer a level of data protection equivalent to the high standards that exist in Europe, we take contractual steps to ensure that the same high standards apply.
