Special Note on Yandex.Metrica – Transparency and Geopolitical Context

We use Yandex.Metrica, a web analytics service provided by Yandex LLC, based in Russia, to gain insights into how users interact with our Site. This service helps us analyse user behaviour and improve the overall user experience.

Important Considerations:

  • Data Transfer to Russia: The use of Yandex.Metrica involves the transfer of certain data to servers located in Russia.
  • Lack of Adequacy Decision: The United Kingdom does not currently have an "adequacy decision" with Russia, presenting a heightened risk.
  • Our Safeguards: We implement IP anonymisation, data minimisation, and provide opt-out options to protect your data.

You can opt-out of Yandex.Metrica tracking using the tool available at: https://yandex.com/support/metrica/general/opt-out.html

7. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to, and stored at, destinations outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK/EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection by implementing appropriate safeguards:

  • We only transfer data to countries with adequate levels of protection as deemed by the UK government.
  • We use specific contracts approved for use in the UK (UK Standard Contractual Clauses) to give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
  • For transfers to Russia via Yandex.Metrica, we rely on specific technical and organisational measures and your informed consent.

8. Data Security – Protecting Your Trust

We take the security of your personal data extremely seriously. We have implemented robust technical and organisational measures designed to protect your information from accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, or destruction.

9. Data Retention – How Long We Keep Your Information

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider:

  • The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data.
  • The potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure.
  • The purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
  • Applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.
