  • what we do with your information, and
  • who your information might be shared with.

We may change this privacy policy from time to time. You should check this policy occasionally to ensure you are aware of the most recent version that will apply each time you access this website.

Who we are

Who does this privacy policy apply to?

This privacy policy applies to visitors to the Site and those who contact us via our Site or any of the contact methods specified on it.

What information do we collect and process?

Personal information provided by you

During the course of accessing the Site, contacting us, or otherwise dealing with us, you may provide us with a range of personal data which we will use in the course of our business. This personal information may include:

  • Your name or another unique identifier;
  • Your address;
  • Your age and/or date of birth;
  • Your contact details (which may include your landline telephone number, mobile number, and/or email address);
  • Payment or other financial details (e.g. payment card information, bank information);
  • Professional information (e.g. job title and/or type, professional qualifications, industry); and
  • Other related information.

Information we collect automatically

Our Site may collect certain information about you automatically (such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system). We also collect information about the use of the Site (known as ‘analytics’) so that we can track user journeys, identify trends, and analyse viewing habits.

Personal information provided by third parties

Occasionally we may receive information about you from other third party sources (such as our suppliers, customers, or group companies), which we will add to the information we already hold about you in order to help us operate our business effectively.

For example, if the Site enables you to interact with third party social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter etc.), we may receive some profile information from those platforms to facilitate the interaction.

How we use your information and our legal basis for processing your information

We may process your personal information for a variety of reasons, including to:

  • display the Site and its functionality and enable your interaction with it;
  • provide content, communications or information you request;
  • respond to a request, order, enquiry or complaint you may have;
  • customise the Site and its content to your particular preferences; and
  • improve our Site and services.

In some instances, we will rely on your consent to process personal data and where we do this, it will be flagged to you at the time.

When we use your personal information we are required to have a legal basis for doing so. There are various different legal bases upon which we may rely, depending on what personal information we process and why.

The legal bases we may rely on include:

  • consent: where you have given us clear consent for us to process your personal information for a specific purpose;
  • contract: where our use of your personal information is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract;
  • legal obligation: where our use of your personal information is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations); or
  • legitimate interests: where our use of your personal information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party (unless there is a good reason to protect your personal information which overrides our legitimate interests).

If you have any questions regarding our processing of your personal information, and our legal basis for doing so, please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

Storage of your information and who your information might be shared with

Our Site is hosted and maintained using third party servers. Therefore, any personal information submitted or processed via your use of the Site will be stored on those third party servers. The servers are based in the UK/EEA.

If you contact us, we may store your personal data on our systems based in the UK.

We may disclose your personal data to:

  • other companies within our group to the extent that there is a legitimate interest in doing so to support our business aims;
  • our agents and service providers, to the extent that they require access to the data in order to provide goods/services to us, in which case they will be bound by a contract requiring them to process personal data in accordance with the requirements prescribed by data protection law;
  • law enforcement agencies in connection with any investigation to help prevent unlawful activity; and
  • a third party purchaser if we sell our business, in which case, customer and user information will be a transferred asset.

Keeping your data secure

We will use technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data in accordance with the law. While we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal data, you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data that are transferred from you or to you via the internet. If you have any particular concerns about your information, please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

How long do we keep your personal information?

We keep your personal information for as long as we need to for the purposes for which it was collected or (if longer) for any period for which we are required to keep personal information to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements.

What rights do you have?

You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide to us is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You can review and change your information by contacting us.

You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data, these include the right to:

  • find out how we process your data;
  • request that your personal data is corrected if you believe it is incorrect or inaccurate;
  • obtain restriction on our, or object to, processing of your personal data;
  • if we are relying on consent, you can withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data (including any direct marketing);
  • if we are relying on legitimate interests for direct marketing, you can object to receiving such direct marketing;
