What is personal data?

Personal data is anything that discloses your identity; that is unique to you.

How do we use your personal data?

We use the information you give us to contact you directly about any important news or information. Other data collected is used to analyse our website’s performance and improve your user experience.

Do we share your data with third parties?

Technically some of what the GDPR classifies as personal data collected by us is shared with third parties in conjunction with our mailing list, website analytics and our website’s functionality.

Also, please see our note in Personal Data – Cookies, Analytics and Plugins about how IP addresses (classed by the GDPR as personal data) may be automatically collected and used by third party plugins on this website.

We do not share your details with third parties for any purpose other than to provide you with direct marketing from us, to understand how you are using our website and to improve your user experience.

We will never sell your data to any marketing companies.

Data Security – protecting your privacy

We protect personal data with appropriate security.

All of our data stored on computers is protected by technical security such as firewalls, anti-virus software and passwords.

We understand the importance of data security and what procedures should be followed in case of a data security breach.

Our website has an SSL certificate and powerful security software to protect and secure your connection.

Our email clients are configured to use secure email connections.

Security breaches – our security procedure

Under GDPR law, if personal data has been put at risk we are required to report the breach to the Information Commissioners Office within 72 hours.

Certain types of data breach do not need to be reported if they are considered harmless and poses no risk to individual data.

If a breach is considered high-risk, we will inform all individuals who are impacted right away. We will do this via direct email or telephone depending on your contact preferences.
