We have undertaken a Legitimate Interest Assessment and consider this to be the legal basis for communications by post and email in as much as:
- we will only contact people who have previously expressed an interest in our work

We do not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
We may need to provide your information to our contractors, suppliers, or selected third parties who provide services on our behalf (e.g our commercial partner, Adaugeo Media Ltd..). This would only be to the extent necessary to enable you to receive those services that they are conducting on behalf of the Supply Chain Finance Community.
If you make a payment to us we will need to share your information with our payment processors, Stripe and PayPal. We may also need to disclose your information if required to do so by law or as expressly permitted under the DPA.

We use a secure service when you make a payment through our website, via a virtual gateway operated by Stripe. Our online payment system is PCI DSS compliant. We will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that data transferred outside the EEA is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We also take appropriate measures to ensure that the information disclosed to us is kept secure, accurate, and up to date and kept only for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is used.
