Please do not send us your information if you do not want it to be transferred or stored outside the EEA. By providing your information to us, you agree and consent to us transferring and storing it outside the EEA.
How will your information be used?
We will use your information to ensure that our practice completes its activities as effectively as possible for providing services to you, for our internal purposes (such as quality control, site performance, system administration and to evaluate use of our services) and to notify you about changes to our services. We may also use the information you provide us for our research and marketing purposes and to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts with you and for billing and delivery purposes. We keep all such information confidential.
In addition, we may use your information to send you relevant and focused product suggestions and information about services which we and they feel may be of interest to you.

How do we keep your information secure?
All your information is stored in our secure office either on Computers or as hard copy. Backup of all our information is stored on cloud-based servers. For the services we provide we need to use third-party software which processes your information. While we take extreme care to ensure that the software we use has adequate security features, we cannot take responsibility for any data breaches that may occur.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will apply our normal procedures and comply with legal requirements to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to or from our offices and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. We will endeavour not to transmit personal information by email unless you specifically request this to be done. If the preferred mode of communication has and remains to be email, we will try to ensure usage of reliable software with as little personal information as possible.
