11. Third-Party Services and Websites

House Made Clear may link to third-party websites, retailers, manufacturers, government websites, standards organisations, and social-media platforms.

Following an ordinary external link does not necessarily cause that third party to place cookies through House Made Clear. However, once you leave House Made Clear, the third-party website may use its own cookies and similar technologies.

House Made Clear does not control cookies placed directly by third-party websites. Review the relevant third party’s privacy and cookie policies before providing personal information or changing cookie preferences.

For example, Google and other technology providers may process information through infrastructure located in the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other countries.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international data transfers, the relevant service provider and House Made Clear will rely on legally recognised transfer mechanisms where applicable.

Additional information is available in the House Made Clear Privacy Policy.
