They do not use your data for any processing of their own. They do not share or provide access to any of your data with third parties unless required to do so by law. Where authorised parties request access to their servers, they follow strict internal policies for dealing with such requests in line with existing UK law. Furthermore, the third parties are required to demonstrate they have a lawful reason to access the data and under what authority.
