Some of our service providers may have access to your data in order to perform services on our behalf – payment processing is a good example of this. We make sure anyone who provides a service for Crondon Park enters into an agreement with us and meets our standards for data security. They will not use your data for anything other than the clearly defined purpose relating to the service that they are providing.

We may share your details with:

  • Service providers who work on behalf of Crondon Park for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you, for example payment processing,  database services, website hosting or email delivery service.
  • Named third party organisations if you ticked the relevant opt-in box when you registered your online account/purchased products from us. In these instances, we may supply your personal information to that specific organisation only.
  • Where required to do so, for example when requested by the police or a regulatory or government authority investigating illegal activities.

Crondon Park is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites even if accessed using links from our website and recommends that you check the privacy policy of each website you visit and contact its owner or Data Protection Manager if you have any concerns or questions.

Despite all our precautions, no data transmission over the internet is 100% secure. So, we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you disclose to us and so wish to draw your attention to the fact that you do so at your own risk.
