Overseas entities may be required to disclose information to relevant foreign authorities under a foreign law. Whilst we attempt to select and secure reputable offshore service providers, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable laws, we are not liable for any breach or misuse of information sent to offshore service providers. Where permitted by applicable laws, Pepper may transfer your personal information to an overseas entity which may not be subject to privacy laws or principles similar to those which apply to the jurisdiction you are located in, and any information disclosed to an overseas service provider may not have the same protection as under the privacy laws applicable to the jurisdiction you are located in. Unless required by applicable laws, you may not be able to seek redress for any breach of your privacy which occurs outside of the jurisdiction you are located in. To the greatest extent permitted by applicable laws, you consent to Pepper disclosing your personal information to entities located outside the location you are in for the purposes set out herein, on the basis that Pepper is not required to take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that any overseas recipient of your personal information complies with privacy laws applicable in the jurisdiction you are located in.
Where required by applicable laws, when using external service providers, we will require that they take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
In addition, if you are located in the EU and your personal information is processed in a country outside of the EU, we will put in place contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission as providing an adequate level of protection.
Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not disclose your personal information to third parties.
You should be aware that the Internet is not a secure form of communication and sending and receiving information over the Internet carries with it risks including the risk of access and interference by unauthorised third parties. We do not accept responsibility or liability for the confidentiality, security or integrity of your personal information in connection with its transmission over the Internet.
We store information in different ways, including in electronic form, cloud storage and IT servers that may be located overseas to store the personal information we hold. Your information will be held securely and used only by authorised staff within Pepper for the purposes detailed herein. The security of your personal information is important to us and we take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect it from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. However, in the case of electronic storage, it is not always practicable to find out where your information may be accessed or held, as electronic or networked storage can be accessed from various countries via an internet connection.
