Domicile and Hosting of the Site

The Site is hosted via Amazon Cloud Services located in Ireland. If you are visiting the Site from a country outside of Ireland and the European Union, please note that you are transferring your personal data to Ireland and by providing your personal data you consent to that transfer and to our use of that information in accordance with this policy.

However, where required to perform services for you or for our wider businesses purposes, the information that we hold about you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EU. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EU who work for us or for one of our service providers. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. We may transfer data to countries outside the EU, which the EU does not consider to have an adequate data protection regime in place. Where we do this, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are put in place.

When you provide personal data to us, you consent to the processing of your data in Ireland, the EU or in any other country were we may need to process data. You acknowledge that the laws of the country where your data is processed may treat your information in a manner that may be substantially different from the treatment required under laws of other countries and jurisdictions. If you do not want your information transferred as per the above, you should not share your information with us, or make use of this Site. To the extent allowed by the law of the country in which you are located, you expressly waive any right you may have to require us to treat your identifying information in accordance with the laws of any country or jurisdiction other than Ireland. However, the foregoing waiver may not be legally binding in some countries. To the extent it is not legally binding in the country in which you are located, this foregoing waiver does not apply to you and is severed from the remaining policy, leaving the rest intact.
