3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We engage third-party companies to facilitate our services (e.g., website hosting, email marketing platforms, analytics providers). These providers have access to your personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to use it for any other purpose.

  • Business Transfers: If Better Everyone Ltd is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. International Data Transfers

We are based in the United Kingdom, and as such, your personal information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the UK. Furthermore, we may use third-party service providers (such as for web hosting or email delivery) that are based in other countries, including the United States.

When we transfer your personal data to countries outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information to a standard equivalent to that required by UK and EU data protection law. These safeguards may include:

  • Transferring data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
  • Using specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK. These are often referred to as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

By using our Services, you acknowledge and consent to your data being transferred and processed as described.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. You have the following rights regardless of your location:

  • To Unsubscribe: You can opt-out of our marketing communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or contacting us directly.
  • To Manage Cookies: You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Additional Information for Users in the United States: This section supplements our policy for residents of U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws, such as California (CCPA/CPRA).

We do not “sell” your personal information in the traditional sense (i.e., for monetary payment). However, some laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include the use of tracking technologies for analytics or advertising. You have the right to opt-out of this “sharing.”

  • Right to Know/Access: You have the right to request details about the personal information we have collected about you.
  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.
