We know how important it is to securely store, protect and manage your personal data. We enforce physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personal data. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, and we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files to keep this data safe.

We are are also fully PCI compliant in terms of credit card security.
In return, we ask that you keep secure the user name and password you have chosen to use on our website.

 

Storing your personal information
We may transfer, store or process your personal information outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). The laws in some countries may not provide as much legal protection for your personal information as in the EEA. By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. Where we use service providers outside the EEA, we rely on approved data transfer mechanisms (for example, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Privacy Shield) to ensure that your personal information is adequately safeguarded in the recipient country.
Unfortunately, transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure. We will do our best to protect your personal information, but we cannot guarantee its security and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Section 3

Individual rights and where to go if you want more information
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) regulates data protection and privacy matters in the UK. They make a lot of information accessible on their website and they ensure that the registered details of all data controllers such as ourselves are publicly available. You can access them on the ICO’s website.

Data protection legislation provides individuals with a number of different rights in relation to their data. For example, you have the right to ask us whether we hold information about you and if so, for us to give you certain details about that information and/or the information itself. This right is commonly known as a “subject access request”. Certain exemptions and conditions apply to this right.

There are other rights which you may also be able to exercise, such as the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified, to object to the processing of personal data, to object to direct marketing, to the erasure of personal data or to have the processing of your personal data restricted as well as the right to have electronic data made portable. All these rights are subject to certain conditions and exemptions.

For more information on your rights as an individual please visit the ICO’s website.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us at any time. You’ll find our contact details at the end of this policy.

 

Withdrawing consent
Where your personal data is processed on the basis of your consent or explicit consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing at any time. You can do this by contacting us using the details provided at the end of this policy. Any withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing of your personal data based on consent before the withdrawal is notified.

 

Accuracy
If any of your personal details change during the time you make use of our services you should notify us using the details provided at the end of this policy and provide us with the updated accurate information.

You can make a complaint to the ICO at any time about the way we use your information. However, we hope that you would consider raising any issue or complaint you have with us first. We will always do our best to solve any problems you may have.

 

Updates to this privacy policy
We review the ways we use your information regularly. In doing so, we may change what kind of information we collect, how we store it, who we share it with and how we act on it. Consequently, we will need to change this privacy policy from time to time to keep it accurate and up to date. This policy was last updated on 21/05/2021.
