Our Lawful Basis for Using Your Information

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

Contract – where processing is necessary to provide services to you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legitimate Interests – where it is reasonably necessary for operating our business, responding to enquiries, supporting customers, protecting our systems or maintaining business relationships, provided those interests do not override your rights.

Legal Obligation – where we need to keep or use information to comply with a legal requirement.

Consent – where you have actively agreed to a particular use of your information, such as certain website analytics or non-essential cookies.

Sharing Your Information

We may share personal information where reasonably necessary with trusted organisations that help us operate our business, such as:

  • Website hosting and IT providers
  • Email and communications providers
  • Professional advisers
  • Payment, accounting or financial-service providers
  • Engineers, contractors or suppliers involved in providing services
  • Regulatory, law-enforcement or other authorities where required by law

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Any service provider processing personal information on our behalf is expected to protect that information appropriately.

International Transfers

Some technology providers may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure the transfer is protected in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, contractual or regulatory requirements.

Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website functionality, security, preferences and, where enabled, analytics.

Non-essential cookies or similar technologies that require consent will not be used until you have made an appropriate choice through our cookie-consent mechanism.

You will be able to review or change your cookie preferences through the website.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:

  • Request access to information we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your information
  • Ask us to restrict how information is used
  • Object to certain uses of your information
  • Request transfer of information in certain circumstances
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

Some rights are subject to legal limitations and exemptions.

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details in this Privacy Policy.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how we use your personal information, please contact us first so that we can investigate your concerns.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, website, technology or legal requirements.

Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised date.
