COOKIES

We use different types of cookies for different reasons. 

A cookie is a small piece of information usually used to identify an individual when he/she is accessing a website and at no time is any personal information stored in a cookie, nor is any tracking information made available to other websites for any reason.

You don’t have to accept our use of NON-ESSENTIAL COOKIES described below and we give you the option to disable these when you access our website.

  • Strictly necessary and functionality cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website.

  • Statistics cookies (NON-ESSENTIAL). They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

You are invited to deny or accept the NON-ESSENTIAL cookies we use when you access our website.  You can also block or accept the NON-ESSENTIAL cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies.

HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We use personal information and other information we collect only for the purposes of providing information in the course of our business.

We use relevant personal information where we have your consent or where it is in our legitimate interests to do so, provided that we use personal information in a proportionate way that respects your privacy rights as an individual or otherwise where you have consented or we have a particular justification to use your personal information in compliance with the data protection laws.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We do not keep personal information in any identifiable format for any longer than is necessary.

SECURITY

The Company takes all appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the integrity and security of the personal information it holds.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Other companies who support our business functions (such as our IT providers and IT support services) may have access to personal data that we store – but only where necessary to do so and only where they are acting as our data processors (and therefore cannot use your personal data for their own purposes) and where they are contractually obliged to comply with the data protection laws.

In the event that the Company ever becomes subject to a re-organisation such as a merger, an acquisition of assets or a share sale, we may in accordance with our legitimate interests, need to share some of your personal information with third parties who have a need to know about it, specifically for reasons connected with the re-organisation.

We may share or reveal personal information if we are obliged or permitted to do so by law, or if it is required by law enforcement, fraud prevention, credit reference agencies, tax authorities or regulatory bodies.

EXPORTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not generally transfer any personal information outside the United Kingdom or the European Union. We do not ourselves hold any personal information on servers that are outside the United Kingdom or the Union.

Where we have a business need to share your personal data with third parties outside of the UK or the European Union, we are careful to only do so in compliance with the law and we ensure that either that country has data protection laws that are equivalent to the GDPR or that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place. 

MANAGING PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have the right as an individual to manage the personal information we hold about you and make amendments if this is necessary. You are also able to withdraw any consent you might have given us to use analytical cookies or otherwise to receive marketing communications, such as newsletters or general information about our products and services, from the Company.  You may also object to the Company using your personal information even if we rely on our legitimate interests to make use of it.

You have several rights in relation to your personal information under data protection law.  In relation to most of these, if you exercise them we may ask for information from you to confirm your identity and, where applicable, to help us find your personal information.  We aim to respond to you within thirty days after we have received a valid request, by which we mean a request that is backed up with any identification documents that we have requested.

You have the following rights:

  • to request a copy or summary of the personal information that we hold about you and to receive it from us within 30 days

  • to correct and update your personal information

  • to withdraw your consent (where we rely on it) from receiving any further communications from us which are not necessary (we will not send you invitations, newsletters and other marketing communications unless you consent to receive them) or in respect of other matters for which your consent has already been given

  • to object to certain kinds of processing of your personal information such as automated processing and profiling

  • to erase your personal information or restrict its use

  • to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as our relevant United Kingdom supervisory authority regulating data privacy matters.
