4. International transfers
Some providers above process data outside the UK, mainly in the USA. Where they do, we rely on UK "adequacy" regulations (including the UK–US data bridge for certified US companies), or on the ICO's International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum built into the provider's data processing terms. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm the mechanism for each provider from its DPA.] You can ask us for details.

| Selling enquiries that do not lead to a purchase | 12 months from our last contact |
| General emails and messages | 2 years from our last contact, unless they relate to an order |
| Bank details of people we have paid | Deleted from our records 12 months after the last payment, except where they form part of our accounting records |
