This policy sets out the basis on which we process personal data we collect from you or that you provide to us on www.blackwoodseven.com (“our site”).

WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to and/or stored outside your territory. It may also be processed by staff operating outside your territory who work for us or for one of our suppliers. If your personal data is transferred to, stored at or otherwise processed outside your country or territory, and that country or territory has not been recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection, we will put in place additional safeguards to protect your personal data, as required by applicable law.
