WHAT ARE THE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR OUR PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
  • Where we have your explicit consent before using your personal information in that specific situation.

SECURITY
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and other procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online and offline.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR DETAILS TO THIRD PARTIES
For the avoidance of doubt, we do not and never shall sell your personal data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

There are certain circumstances under which we may disclose your personal information to third parties.

For instance to our service providers who process data on our behalf and on our instructions (for example our website service providers and newsletter administrator). We require all third parties to respect the privacy of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law.

We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Where we’re relying upon your consent to process personal data, you can withdraw this at any time by contacting us using the details below.

FOR HOW LONG IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION RETAINED BY US?
Depending on the level of information we hold on you and the purposes of holding that information will determine how long we retain data for.

We may need to hold on to information for internal accounting and reporting purposes for a
number of years but any data that is out of date or inactive will be removed from our systems in
the future.

WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS UNDER DATA PROTECTION LAWS?
Here is a list of the rights that all individuals have under the new GDPR data protection laws. They don’t apply in all circumstances. If you wish to use any of them, we’ll explain at that time if they are engaged or not.

  • The right to be informed about the processing of your personal information
  • The right to have your personal information corrected if it is inaccurate and to have incomplete personal information completed
  • The right to object to processing of your personal information
  • The right to request access to your personal information and to obtain information about how we process it
  • The right to move, copy or transfer your personal information (“data portability”)

You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office which enforces data protection laws: https://ico.org.uk/.

Your right to object
You have the right to object to certain purposes for processing, in particular to data processed for direct marketing purposes and to data processed for certain reasons based on our legitimate interests. You can contact us using the information below to exercise these rights.

What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
