We realise and understand that children and young people, including those under 18 years of age (“minors”) may visit the website, or otherwise interact with us and our commercial partners.
It is our policy:
- To encourage all minors to consult with their parents or legal guardian before submitting or requesting any content or information to/from us or other third parties. Users of the website, who indicate they are a minor may be asked to provide a valid email address for their parent or guardian so that we may (providing they have their parent or guardian’s permission) verify parental consent, where required;
- Not to make a minor’s participation in our activity contingent on the child disclosing any more personal information than is necessary in order to do so;
- Not use (or pass to any third party) personal information on persons known to be minors for any commercial purposes.
Parents or legal guardians should supervise minors when online and we recommend parental control tools be put in place. Any minor using the website and services offered is confirming that they have received the consent of their parent or a guardian to do so.

In addition, there are some other reasons why we may disclose your personal information to third parties and these are as follows:
- To appoint other organisations to carry out some data processing activities on our behalf. For example, payment processing, hosting service providers, other relevant partners used to help us deliver the website to you
- With your agreement to third parties where you may be being considered by our clients or partners for the provision of services
- If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by us about customers will be one of the transferred assets
- If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data to comply with any legal obligation, or to enforce or apply any of our other applicable terms and conditions for products, services, content or access provided by us (for example our ground regulations) and other agreements; and/or
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our commercial partners, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

You must provide suitable safeguards when processing personal data for the purposes of profiling. There must be a specified reason for the process and a breakdown of the possible consequences to guarantee fair and transparent processing. Suitable statistical / mathematical procedures should be in place. There should also be suitable administrative and technical actions for the purpose of minimising risk and correcting errors. Individuals must be able to acquire human intervention, articulate their opinion and receive an explanation of the arrangement and be able to challenge it. Automated decisions must not involve or implicate a child, or be based on special categories of data processing unless explicit consent of the individual or their guardian has been given or the processing is needed for the purpose of public concern on the basis of EU / member state law. The right does not apply if the decision is needed to enter into a contract between yourself and the individual, is sanctioned by law or is based around explicit consent.
