You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will inform you before collecting your personal data if we intend to use it for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your rights concerning such processing by selecting (or choosing not to select) certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your personal data.

In your request please clarify what personal data you would like to have changed, whether you would like to have it suppressed from our database or otherwise let us know what limitations you would like to put on our use of your personal data.

We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
In certain circumstances, we may not be able to do what you have asked, for example due to legal or regulatory requirements or if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others.

Third party websites
Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of third parties. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility for the content of those policies and/or the third party’s use of your personal data. It is your responsibility to check third party policies before you submit any personal data to those third parties.
Security and Retention
We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and thus we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we have in place appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration. Please refer to our Information Security Standard for further details.
We will retain your personal data for as long as is permitted in light of the purposes for which it was collected. Where we no longer require your personal data for the purposes for which it was obtained, we will retain it for a period of time which reasonably allows us to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations or if retention is advisable in light of our legal position. Aggregated or anonymised data may be retained for longer.
Cross Border Transfer
If it becomes necessary to transfer your personal data outside of the UK to a country that is not considered a territory that adequately protects your personal data, we will put appropriate safeguards in place to ensure that your personal data receives protection equivalent to that provided by data protection laws applicable in the UK.
Changes to our privacy policy
We will amend this policy from time to time to keep it up to date with current legal requirements and the way we operate our business. Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail.
