We will only retain your personal data for as long as:

  • It is needed for the purposes set out in this document.

Children’s privacy protection

Our services are not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, persons under 18 years of age. We do not intentionally collect or maintain data about anyone under the age of 18.

 

Where your data is processed and stored

Your personal data may, throughout the course of its processing at swhittlesey.com, be transferred outside of the United States.   Where this is the case, all appropriate technical and legal safeguards may be put in place to ensure that you are afforded the same level of protection as within the United States if not higher.

 

How we protect your data and keep it secure

We are committed to doing all that we can to keep your data secure. We have set up systems and processes to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure of your data.

 We also make sure that any third parties that we deal with keep all personal data they process on our behalf secure.
