We may need to make your personal information available to other companies both inside and outside of Lyme Regis Development Trust in order to provide our services to you, for example, when you purchase some of our products we will need to supply your name and postal address to our suppliers. However, when we do this, we will not authorise these third parties to use your personal information in any other way and will require them to protect your personal information to the same degree that we do.
