A full list of these countries as at the date of this Privacy Policy is: Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Switzerland, Jersey, New Zealand, Uruguay and the Isle of Man.

- Use of measures like European Commission approved measures to support adequate transfers of personal data. We also have group companies, and use suppliers located in countries that are elsewhere in the world. To manage data protection compliance with these transfers, we will use European Commission approved data transfer mechanisms such as use of model contractual clauses approved by the Commission. We will also assess where applicable where a supplier is able to demonstrate to us they have Binding Corporate Rules. (Binding Corporate Rules is a GDPR – recognised Data Protection mechanism to ensure adequate personal data transfers).
