We are committed to the lawful, fair and transparent use of personal data. In processing personal data for the purposes of providing our customers with our products and services, we process your personal data on the grounds that our processing is necessary for legitimate interests we pursue as a business, namely that our business relies entirely on the ability to use your personal data to provide our Services.
If we send you marketing communications to tell you about our products and services, we rely on one of the following legal grounds for processing:
Because marketing rules vary between countries, the legal ground for processing that we rely on will depend on your geographic location.
If you have any questions about the grounds under which we process your personal data, or would like to find out more about the approach we take to determine that these grounds apply, please contact us using the contact details in the ‘How to contact us’ section.
Our servers are located in Ireland, so if you are based in Europe or the UK your data will remain in Europe. If you are located outside of Europe, your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction.

Because marketing rules vary between countries, the legal ground for processing that we rely on will depend on your geographic location, however you will always be able to unsubscribe (either through your Account or by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the e-mail you receive).

Except in rare cases, we will respond to you within 1 month of receiving this information or, where no such information is required, after we have received full details of your request. As noted above, while some rights apply generally, some are only available in certain circumstances, so if we feel that any right is not available to you we will let you know along with the reason for our decision.
If you are a resident of California, a person registered with your State’s government may act on your behalf to exercise any of these rights.
