However, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications between Customers and Systems. Therefore, although British Basics /Wholesale deploy significant effort to protect Customers’ privacy, British Basics /Wholesale do not promise that Personal Data or private communications will always remain private.
Third Parties
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of Personal Data British Basics /Wholesale collect from the Customers.
