Disclosure of your personal information
We may on occasions pass your personal information to third party suppliers who provide services to us (for example in relation to payment processing, legal and accountancy, database management). We require these parties to agree to process this information based on our instructions and requirements consistent with this privacy policy and data protection laws.

We will not pass on your personal information to any third party to market their products/services to you unless we have obtained your consent.
Transmission of personal information outside the EEA
Some of the organisations to which we may disclose your personal information are situated outside the European Economic Area in countries which may not have laws that protect privacy rights as extensively as in the United Kingdom. If we transfer your personal information to countries outside the European Economic Area, we will take proper steps to ensure that your information is treated fairly and lawfully in all respects.
Personal information retention policy
We will keep personal information only for as long as necessary for us to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it including compliance with any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your personal information as described below.
Security of personal information
We have adopted appropriate security measures to ensure your data is kept safe and secure and to prevent unauthorised access or use or loss of your data. We also make sure that third parties who need to handle your data when helping us to deliver our services are subject to suitable confidentiality and security standards.
Despite the security measures we implement, please be aware that the transmission of data via the internet is not completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee that information transmitted to us via the internet will be completely secure and any transmission is at your own risk.
Your legal rights
Under the data protection laws, you may have the following rights:
- to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you.
- to request correction of the personal information that we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- in certain circumstances to ask for the personal information we hold about you to be erased from our records.

- to request the transfer of your personal information to another organisation.
- to object to certain types of processing such as direct marketing, as well as processing we undertake based on our legitimate interests.

If you want to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details set out below. You do not have to pay a fee to exercise your rights, unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive (in which case we can charge a reasonable fee). Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. Where your request is legitimate, we will always aim to respond within one month (unless there is a cogent reason to take longer, such as where your request is particularly complex). We may also need to confirm your identify before we proceed with your request.
Additionally, you may get in touch with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) if you are concerned about the way in which we are handling your personal information. However, where possible, we would appreciate you contacting us first if you have any concerns so that we can try to resolve them for you.
