The security of your personal data is important to us. SCF has technical and organisational security measures in place to safeguard your personal data. When using external service providers, we require that they adhere to security standards mandated by the Group. We may do this through contractual provisions, including any required by a privacy regulator, and oversight of the service provider. Regardless of where personal data is transferred, we take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that personal data is kept securely.
• You should be aware that the internet is not a secure form of communication and sending us any personal data over the internet carries with it risks including the risk of access and interference by unauthorised third parties. Information passing over the Internet may be transmitted internationally (even when sender and recipient are located in the same country) via countries with weaker privacy and data protection laws than in your country of residence.
• We retain your personal data in line with our legal and regulatory obligations and for business and operational purposes.
