Our Commitment

This means your personal information will be:

  • Only collected as required for our lawful purposes.
  • Reviewed regularly.
  • Retained only for as long as necessary and in accordance with our retention policy.
  • Processed securely and with integrity.

Collection of Personal Data

We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Identity Data: Includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, and job title.
  • Contact Data: Includes postal address, email address, and telephone numbers.
  • Technical Data: Includes internet protocol (IP) address, login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access our website.

How We Collect Information

We may collect this information directly from you (e.g., when you submit a form to us, enter into a contract for services with us, or via a face-to-face meeting).

Change of Purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Sharing with Third Parties

We may share your personal information with third parties where required by law, where it is necessary to administer the working relationship with you, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure all information sharing is carried out securely and will ask our third-party associates to assure us they will handle your personal data securely by using contracts to make our requirements clear and within the legal requirements as set out in the GDPR.

Data Storage

Your data is stored on a secured database enforced by password protocols.

IP Addresses

We do collect statistics on visits to our website and social media sites. While these are anonymous statistics, your IP address may be considered personal data under the legislation. Therefore, we may collect information about the computer or device used to access our website. We use this information to collect anonymous statistics to view traffic to the site and how the site is used. This collection does not identify individual users.

Our company and staff shall follow our security protocols in line with our “Data Breach” company policy as well as the ICO guidelines and take all necessary precautions to minimize the severity of the breach for the individual.
