We may make automated copies of account data for backup purposes only, although we make no guarantee that we will do so. If such copying requires the re-transmission of account data to another server, that re-transmission will occur over an encrypted link. Any such copies will not be released to a third party.
We undertake not to release account data to a third party, except where, and with prior consent of the account holder, doing so is required as part of routine server management undertaken by an external contractor in which case that external contractor will be under an obligation not to use, copy or release the account data to any other person or organisation.
