Sensitive personal data

We will only collect sensitive personal data (e.g regarding medical conditions) that has been provided voluntarily. We will not disclose or transfer such data unless the individual concerned has agreed (or where he or she is incapable of doing so, an appropriate person has agreed on his or her behalf).

Security of personal data

We store personal data in secure facilities and access is restricted to those persons who “need to know”. Where personal data is outsourced to third parties, we require such third parties to establish similar appropriate security measures.
