Privacy Policy & Use of Cookies

INTRODUCTION

We live in a data-driven world. Almost every transaction and interaction you have with most organisations involves you sharing personal data, such as your name, address and date of birth. You share data online too, every time you visit a website, search for or buy something, use social media or send an email.

Sharing data helps makes life easier, more convenient and connected. But your data is your data. It belongs to you so it's important your data is used only in ways you would reasonably expect, and that it stays safe. 

​

We've updated our Privacy Statement & Privacy Policy in line with new data protection laws, which came into effect on 25 May 2018.

By using this website, you consent to the policy.

 

​

OUR PRIVACY STATEMENT & PRIVACY POLICY​

We are committed to protecting and respecting any personal data you share with us.

The wording in this document reflects the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations ('GDPR') and the Data Protection Act, which ensure we, and others, use your information appropriately. 

​

We are responsible for making decisions about the way your information is used and this statement describes what types of data we collect from you, how we use it, how we share it with others, how we can manage the data we hold and how you can contact us.

​

We will always give you the option not to receive marketing communications from us. We will never send you unsolicited 'junk' email or communications, or share your data with anyone else who might.

 

We do not sell your data to third parties, but there might be circumstances where we need to share your data with other companies to deliver services, complete transactions, handle complaints or provide you with the information that you have requested.

​

We may disclose your information to regulatory bodies to enable us to comply with the law.

​
