We will not disclose your information to any third parties unless strictly necessary. For the purposes of providing your quotes and orders, and to meet our legal obligations, we may from time to time need to share the data we hold with service providers and the suppliers who provide and maintain our systems, the venues and associate suppliers for your event, payment service providers, our accountants and if necessary our solicitors; plus any authority if required to by law, or if disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of W.A Carr and Son, our staff, customers and suppliers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
