When relying on the ‘legitimate interests’ basis, we consider our interests and the potential impact on your rights and weigh this up. We will also use your Personal Data where we need to in order to comply with a legal obligation we are under. You can find out more about why we use your Personal Data below.

The Personal Data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the European Economic Area.  We will take all steps reasonably necessary and available to us to safeguard and ensure that your Personal Data is treated securely and in accordance with applicable laws, which may include having in place a contract with the recipient to ensure the security of your personal data in accordance with data protection laws or only transferring to US companies who have certified under Privacy Shield to keep your personal data secure.

We may also share Personal Data about you if we are required to do so in order to comply with any legal obligation or to protect our legal rights (or those of our clients).

Your Rights

We try to be as open as we reasonably can about the Personal Data that we process.  If you would like specific information, just ask us.

You have legal rights (i) to make a “subject access request” to access your Personal Data; (ii) to request and be given your Personal Data in machine readable format for the purposes of your passing such data to third parties; (iii) to request rectification or removal of your Personal Data and/or to have its processing restricted; and (iv) to object to processing of your Personal Data for a particular purpose  where we rely on “legitimate interests” as our legal basis for that particular use (as we’ve pointed out to you in this Privacy Policy), in which case you should let us know your reason for your objection. Please note that we may still process your Personal Data where there are other relevant lawful bases we rely on or where we have compelling grounds to continue processing your Personal Data, despite your objections.

We will store and process your Personal Data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for us to perform the services/activities we are undertaking and to comply with our legal obligations. Once data is anonymised we may hold it indefinitely, without further notice to you.

Please note that our website may, from time to time, contain links to and from third party websites.  If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies.

As you probably know, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.  Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data once transferred to us; any transmission is at your own risk.  Once we have received your Personal Data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
