Some of our suppliers run their operations outside the United Kingdom, including within the European Economic Area (EEA). This includes countries which do not have the same data protection laws as in the UK. In these circumstances, we have made sure they provide an adequate level of protection in accordance with UK data protection law, and have confirmed that appropriate safeguards are in place.
