The purpose of this policy is to give you a clear explanation about how we collect and use the information we collect from you directly and from third parties.

We use your information in accordance with all applicable laws concerning the protection of personal information.

This policy explains:

  • Information collection

Overview

We collect personal information, such as names and email addresses that you submit to us, when you sign up to our email newsletters or email to request information or write to us. The information collected by us will be stored securely, only used for the specific purpose outlined below and will not be passed on to, or sold to any third parties.

Information collection

We collect information in a number of ways:

Information you give us
For example, when you register to receive our newsletter, we’ll store the personal information you give us such as your name and email address.

Information about your interactions with us
For example, when you visit our website, we collect information about how you interact with our content. When we send you a mailing we store a record of this, and in the case of emails we keep a record of which ones you have opened and which links you have clicked on.

Sensitive personal data
Data Protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive such as health information, race, religious beliefs and political opinions. We do not usually collect this type of information unless there is a clear reason for doing so.

Legal basis

There are two bases under which we may process your data:

Legitimate business interests
In certain situations we collect and process your personal information for purposes that are in our legitimate organisational interests. However we only do this if there is no overriding prejudice to you by using your personal information in this way. We describe below all situations where we may use this basis for processing.

With your explicit consent
For any situations where the two bases above are not appropriate, we will instead ask for your explicit consent before using your personal information in that specific situation.

Please bear in mind that if you object this may affect our ability to carry out tasks above that are for your benefit.
