We use secure and reputable third-party platforms to deliver our services effectively:

We will not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We will only share data with other third parties (e.g., legal or regulatory bodies) where required by law.

4. Data Security and Retention

We implement robust technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Access to your data is strictly limited to AMPERFORMANCEUK personnel who require it to perform their duties.

We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
