3. How we get the personal information and why we have it

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the following reasons:

  • Subscribing to our newsletter;
  • Using our Contact Us form.

We may also receive personal information indirectly, from the following sources in the following scenarios:

  • Google Analytics for cookies or other usage data.
  • Mailchimp for email address, and usage data related to mail campaigns.

We use the information that you have given us in order to:

  • provide our services, activities or online content, to provide you with information about them and to deal with your requests and enquiries;
  • analyse the information you supply as well as your activity on our services so that we can offer a more relevant, tailored service where we provide personalised services;
  • use IP addresses and device identifiers so we can identify the location of users, block disruptive use, establish the number of visits from different countries and determine whether or not you are accessing the services from the UK;
  • for analysis and research purposes so that we can improve the services offered. This can include using geo-demographic information from external sources where this helps us;
  • we may also use and disclose information in aggregate (so that no individuals are identified) for marketing and strategic development purposes.

Where we propose using your personal information for any other use we will ensure that we notify you first.

We may share this information with third parties, including third-party service providers.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

  • Your consent. You are able to remove your consent at any time. You can do this by using the contact details in this policy.
  • We have a contractual obligation.
  • We have a legal obligation.
  • We need it to perform a public task.
  • We have a legitimate interest.

4. How we store your personal information

Your information is securely stored on our IT systems.

We have put in place measures to protect the security of your information. Details of these measures are available upon request.

Third parties will only process your personal information on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.

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

We have put in place procedures 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.

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill 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 data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.
