Our website will, in certain circumstances, provide you with social plug-ins from various social networks.

If you are logged in on one of these social networks during your visit to one of our website or are interacting with one of the social plug-ins, the social network might add this information to your respective profile on this network based on your privacy settings. If you would like to prevent this type of data transfer, please log out of your social network account before you enter our website, or change the app’s privacy settings, where possible. Please read the privacy policies of those social networks for detailed information about the collection and transfer of personal information, what rights you have and how you can maintain suitable privacy settings for your needs.
Skopos London will disclose personal information where required by law or legal process, for the administration of justice, to protect your vital interest, for investigations by law enforcement or regulatory bodies, to protect and defend Skopos London’s property and legal rights, to protect the personal safety of Skopos London website users or by order of a valid injunction from a court or law enforcement agency.
We are committed to protecting your personal information and implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect it against any unauthorised or unlawful processing and against any accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
We will keep your personal information for two years from your last interaction with us, unless a longer or shorter retention period is required by law, is necessary in the course of legal proceedings or is otherwise needed for a particular purpose under applicable law.
We store and process your personal information exclusively within the European Economic Area (EEA).
