This Privacy Policy explains how we collect any data in relation to your use of the website and any services or systems therein, how we use the personal information you give us and keep it secure, and the conditions under which we may disclose it to others.  Our website will collect and use personal data in ways that are described here, and in a way that is consistent with our obligations and your rights under the law. 

Our website may also contain links to other websites. Third Parties whose content appears on our website may use third party Cookies. Please note that we have no control over how your data is collected, stored, or used by other websites, or the Cookies activities of such third parties and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites/third parties before providing any data to them.

However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is reasonably necessary to deliver the service.

5.5 In some limited circumstances, we may be under a legal duty to disclose or to share your personal data if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority, or rights to enforce or apply our terms of use, to protect the rights, property or safety of our customers. However, we will aim to protect your privacy.

5.6 We will also share and transfer your personal data with third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts or all of our business or assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them as part of any business restructuring or re-organisation. If a change happens to our business, any new owner may continue to use your personal data in the same ways that we have used it, as specified in this Privacy Policy. 

6. Data transfers to parties outside the EU

6.1 We do not transfer your personal data outside the UK. 

6.2 There may be some instances where your personal information is processed or stored outside of the UK. In those instances, we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded for that processing and storage as required by applicable law to it by ensuring at least one of the following appropriate safeguards is implemented: 

- we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of 

  protection for personal data by the European Commission (and there is an adequacy decision by the European 

  Commission for these countries, which means that they are deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for 

  your personal information)

- we will use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection 

  it has in Europe with our services providers

- we may transfer data to US-based service providers under the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar 

  protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

6.3 Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data.

7. Data security

7.1 We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We also limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know and they can only process your personal data on our instructions and will be subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

7.2 We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

8. Data retention

8.1 The security of your personal data is essential to us and we will take the necessary important measures in order to protect your data and ensure it is treated safely and securely, including the following: (i) limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality, and (ii) procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data), including notifying you and/or the Information Commissioner’s Office where we are legally required to do so.

8.2 We will only store or transfer your personal data within the UK. This means that it will be fully protected under the Data Protection Legislation (General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018). 

8.3 We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your data, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

8.4 Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy. 

However, we are legally required to keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, legal, financial, accounting, reporting and transaction data) for six years after they cease being customers, for tax purposes. For further information about the retention period in a particular case, please contact our Data Protection Officer.

8.5 In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes. We can use anonymised information indefinitely without further notice to you. 

9. Your legal rights

9.1 You have certain rights in certain circumstances under data protection law. These are set out in full in Part 3 of Schedule 1. If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”. If you wish to exercise any of your rights, and make a subject access request, please contact our DPM in writing and send to the email or postal addresses shown on the website. 

9.2 There is not normally any charge to exercise any of your rights for a subject access request. However, if your request is clearly manifestly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee for this information to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will try to respond to all legitimate requests for subject access request within one month of receiving it.

In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. In this case, we will notify you and keep fully informed of our progress.

9.5 In addition to your rights under the Data Protection Legislation, when you submit personal data via our website, you may be given options to restrict our use of your personal data. In particular, we aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data for direct marketing purposes at the point of providing your details and by managing your account.

9.8 We will ask you for information to confirm your identity and, where applicable, to help us search for your personal information. Except in rare cases, we will respond to you within 30 days after we have received any request (including any identification documents requested).
