We do, however share your personal data with certain companies who play an essential part in enabling us to provide our products and services to you, which include the following:

  • Shipping lines and transport companies which we may engage to move your goods
  • To process your payment details or provide support services.

We will only do this if there are appropriate safeguards in place to make sure your personal data receives the same protection as when it is being processed inside the EEA.
