In accordance with the requirements set down by the Data Protection Act 1998 (UK)("DPA"),
we may share your Personal Data with (i) our related entities and licensed subsidiary
operations and offices around the world; and (ii) our clients and third parties
to whom Transworld is bound by terms of confidentiality or who are contracted to
us for the provision of products and services accessible via the Transworld Website.
Countries in the European Economic Area ("EEA") are required to have a similar standard
of protection of personal data under the DPA but this is not always the case in
countries outside of the EEA, we will therefore use reasonable endeavours to ensure
that our licensed subsidiary operations, offices and third party service providers
outside of the EEA handle your Personal Data in accordance with the reciprocal legislative
requirements of the DPA .
The time period for which we keep your Personal Data and information varies according
to what the information is used for. In some cases, there are legal requirements
to keep data for a minimum period. Unless there is a specific legal requirement
for us to keep your Personal Data or information, we will retain it for no longer
than is necessary for the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected or
for which it is to be further processed.
We may disclose your Personal Data, in response to properly made requests, for the
purposes of the prevention and detection of crime, and the apprehension or prosecution
of offenders. We may also provide information for the purpose of safeguarding national
security. In either case we do so in accordance with the DPA.

of any transactions made. We take appropriate organisational and technical security
measures to protect your Personal Data against unauthorised disclosure or processing.
We use a secure server to store the information you give us when you register or
make an order (including where applicable your credit / debit card details and your
password).
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. We may also disclose your Personal Data when required to do so by law, for
example under a court order, or in response to properly made demands, under powers
contained in legislation.
