4. Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with carefully selected third parties who help us run the business:

Each of these parties is bound by data-protection obligations equivalent to ours under UK GDPR.
5. International transfers
Some of our service providers (for example, payment processors and our hosting infrastructure) may store or process data outside the UK, including in the United States and the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as:
- the recipient is based in a country the UK government has deemed adequate for data protection, or
- we use the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism.
6. How long we keep your data
| Type of data | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Order, transaction and invoice records | 6 years from the date of the transaction (HMRC requirement) |
