11. Provision of Personal Data and Consequences of Not Providing It
The provision of certain personal data is primarily contractual and, in some circumstances, required to meet legal and regulatory obligations.
Personal data is required to:
enter into and perform contracts with customers, suppliers, or business partners;
process enquiries, manage accounts, and deliver goods and services;
verify identity and prevent fraud; and
comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, and tax obligations.
If you choose not to provide required personal data:
we may be unable to enter into a contract with you;
we may be unable to fulfil requests, supply goods, or provide services;
we may be unable to conduct necessary verification, compliance, or fraud-prevention checks; and
as a result, our services may be delayed, restricted, or declined.
Where personal data is requested for optional purposes, such as marketing communications, providing this data is not mandatory, and you may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting your ability to receive goods or services from us.
12. International Transfers
If personal data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements, including International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) or adequacy regulations approved by the UK Government.
Some of our website hosting and storage providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, the safeguards described above apply.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without parental consent.

These processes do not produce decisions with legal or similarly significant effects without appropriate safeguards, and you have the right to request human intervention where applicable.
15. Credit Reference and Affordability Checks
To help us assess applications, prevent fraud, and meet our legal and regulatory obligations, we may obtain information about you from credit reference agencies (CRAs).
