Security

Transmission of information via the internet is not always secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your data while being transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Whilst we take what we consider to be reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised  modification or unlawful destruction or accidental loss of personal information once it is under our control, we cannot guarantee the security of your data. 

Disclosures and transfers of personal information

Subject to the “Hyperlinks and embedded functionality” section below, EP UK Investments does not sell or otherwise release your personal information to third parties to allow them to direct market their products and services to you.

If you submit personal information to EP UK Investments, you agree to such disclosure.  

Since the EPH Group operates globally, EP UK Investments may want to transfer your personal information to other countries, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). However, while in our control, we always seek to ensure that your personal information receives the same level of protection as it would had it stayed within the EEA, including seeking to ensure that it is kept secure and used only in accordance with our instructions and for the agreed purpose(s).

We reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law, or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, request from a regulator or any other legal process served on EP UK Investments or the EPH Group. In the event that EP UK Investments or any company in the EPH Group is subject to a takeover, divestment or acquisition we may disclose your personal information to the new owner of the business.
