We share your personal data within ABG and to the external third parties (the categories of which are referred to in this Policy). This may involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) (which consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it. In some instances, your personal data may be transferred to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. In other instances, we will ensure at least one of the lawful safeguards are implemented, which may include:
Where we transfer personal data within ABG and to certain external third parties, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
Where we use external third parties based in the US, we may transfer personal data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.
If you have questions about, or need further information concerning, international data transfers, please contacting us.

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
You may access certain areas of our site without providing any personal data at all. However, to use all features and functions available on our site you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain personal data. You may restrict our use of cookies. For more information, see our cookie policy .
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contacting us.We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one calendar month (starting from the day after we receive your request). Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
To help protect the privacy of personal data you transmit, we maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards and require the same of any third parties we share your personal data with. Any payment transactions will be encrypted. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. In addition, we train our staff about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your personal data.
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as personal and credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but the intended audience. This security measure is working when you see a closed padlock icon in your browser window, usually in the URL address bar.
We will only ask for payment details when you place an order over the telephone, we will never ask you to confirm any account or credit card details by email or text message. If you receive such emails or messages do not respond and contact us immediately. Credit Card details are not stored beyond completion of your order. All payments online will be taken securely through payment portals Safecharge and Paypal, card details are not fully visible to our staff. Our handling of credit card details is certified compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
As you will be aware the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use physical, technical and administrative safeguards to prevent unauthorised access to your personal data.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. To opt out of marketing communications, see Opting out below.
Promotional offers from us: We may use the personal data you have given us to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us (i.e., by ticking a box to indicate you consent to us sending you marketing communications) or purchased products or services from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
Third-party marketing: We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.
Opting out: You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us any time. Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, product/service experience or other transactions. Please note that if you ask us not to contact you by email at a certain email address, we will retain a copy of that email address on a “suppression list” in order to comply with your no-contact request.
You are free to change your marketing choices at any time.
