steps and implement appropriate measures to ensure that your personal
information is adequately protected in accordance with the law.
These measures generally include either:

personal information by the European Commission; or
• Transferring personal information where the
recipient has agreed to a European Commission approved data transfer
agreement in the form of the standard contractual clauses.

information in circumstances where there are no adequate safeguards where
this is permitted by data protection law.

no good reason for us to continue to hold that data;

marketing materials such as our catalogue, marketing email, discounts or

we are able to disclose your personal information to you or comply with
other requests.
