We may provide your personal data to other organisations where we have a duty to or are permitted to disclose your personal information by law, e.g. if we receive a valid request from the Garda or other third party organisation in the interests of preventing and detecting crime.
If you refuse to provide information that we reasonably require to provide the services, we may be unable to offer you the services and/or may terminate the services provided with immediate effect.
• Consent -
sometimes we may rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information, e.g. we rely on your consent to send direct marketing to you. We will ensure that we present this to you concisely.

The security of your personal data is important to us, we have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. We have processes in place to protect your personal data from loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration and destruction.
When required, we make your information available to third parties with whom we have a relationship. Where that third party is providing services on our behalf, we will only provide those third parties (data processors) with information that is necessary for them to perform the services.

Where personal data is processed in a country outside the EEA (a ‘third country’), we will ensure that it is done lawfully, i.e. there is an appropriate level of protection for the fundamental rights of the data subjects.

Data is processed in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States of America. The European Commission has adopted adequacy decisions for transfers of personal data to the United Kingdom and Canada, which means that their data protection regimes are accepted as offering an adequate level of data protection.
We shall not retain personal data for a longer period than necessary, in relation to the purposes for which the data was originally collected, except where it is required to be retained to meet other legislative or regulatory obligations.
