Privacy policy

Introduction

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.  This privacy policy describes how we look after your personal data and advises you about your privacy rights, and how the law protects you.

Changes to this policy

We review this privacy policy at regular intervals.  This version was last updated in March 2021.

Third party links

Our website may include links to third party websites, plug-ins, and applications.  Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.  We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements.

Personal data we receive

Personal data (or personal information) means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified.  It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you such as:

  • Contact data (including your address, email address, telephone contact numbers, website address and social media contact information).

  • Technical Data (including internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website).

  • Usage Data (including information about how you use our website and services).

How your personal data is collected

We use several methods to collect personal data including:

  • Direct interactions.  For example, you might give us your identity and contact data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise.  This includes personal data you provide when you contact us to request information about our services.

  • Automated technologies or interactions.  As you interact with our website, we will automatically collect technical data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns.  We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies.

  • Third parties or publicly available sources.  We will receive personal data about you from various third parties and public sources such as:

How your personal data will be used

We will only use your data in circumstances where data protection legislation allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

  • To provide you with information and/or services that you request from us.  We may also send you details of other products and services offered by us.

  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

Sharing personal data

When a specific service is being provided on our behalf we will ensure that your personal information is handled as if we were processing it ourselves and under the same terms as this privacy notice.  We will only share the minimum information that the other party needs to undertake the service, and we will ensure that they keep your information secure.

Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for.  We will retain your contact information for our records unless you ask us to delete it.

Your rights

Under data protection law, you have rights including:

  • Your right of access.  You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.

  • Your right to rectification.  You have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate.  You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.

  • Your right to erasure.  You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances.

  • Your right to restriction of processing.  You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
