You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself in any registration or subscription form you complete ("the Registration Information").

You agree to maintain and promptly update the Registration Information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.

CCC is registered under, and will process your personal data in accordance with, data protection legislation.

You hereby agree that the Registration Information (and all updates of the Registration Information) and any other information sent to CCC by you or otherwise obtained by CCC about you ("the Personal Data") may be processed by CCC for the purposes of:

The processing of the Personal Data may involve CCC disclosing your details to regulatory bodies and/or other third parties. If you do not wish your Personal Data to be disclosed in this manner, please make this clear by sending an appropriately worded message to CCC.

You also consent to the transfer, storage and processing of the Personal Data to/in countries outside the European Economic Area.
