relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by  reference to an identifier’. Furthermore, we are subject to the EU General Data Protection  Legislation (EU GDPR) in relation to data collected, processed and used in the European  Economic Area (EEA). 

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual known as  the data subject. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact  details, information about services provided to you and details of feedback you gave us, to name  a few, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic  location data, IP address, operating systems, and other online identifiers.

Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which are able to do  requests without charge. They are as follows: 

The right to access – this is the right to obtain from us confirmation of whether personal data  concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, access to that personal data and  various other information and/or rights about the personal data we hold about you. The right to rectification – this is the right to obtain from us, without any undue delay, the  putting right of inaccurate personal data concerning you. 

The right to erasure – this is the right for you to request, in certain circumstances, for us to  delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data relating to you. 

The right to restrict – this means that you can request that, in certain circumstances, we restrict  (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data. 

The right to data portability – this means that, in certain circumstances, if you have provided  personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a  contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that  personal data to re-use with another data controller. 

The right to object – in certain circumstances, you can object to us using your personal data for a  particular purpose or purposes, such as direct marketing. 

The right not to be subjected to automated decision making – you have the right not to be  subject to a decision based solely on automated processing and profiling. We do not use your  personal data in this way. 

The right to withdraw consent. This means that, if we are relying on your consent as the legal  basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time. 

For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined  above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 10. 

It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data we 

hold about you changes, please keep us informed as long as we have that data. Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s  Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau. 

If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, we would welcome the  opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves, please contact us first, using the details in Part 10.  However, if you should still be unhappy with our response to your concerns you have the right to  lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office. 

  1. What data is collected and how 

Subject to the following, we do not collect any personal data from you. We do not place cookies  on your computer or device, nor do we use any other means of data collection. Our Site collects certain information automatically, including your IP address, the type of browser  you are using, and certain other non-personal data about your computer or device such as your  operating system type or version, and display resolution. 

If you send us an email, we may collect your name, your email address, and any other information  which you choose to give us. For the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, we are the  data controller responsible for such personal data. 

The lawful basis under the Data Protection Legislation that allows us to use such information is  article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR which allows us to process personal data when it is necessary for the  purposes of our legitimate interests, in this case, the proper operation and functionality of our  Site. 

  1. Keeping your data secure 

Where we collect any personal data, it will be processed and stored securely, for no longer than is  necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. We will comply with our legal  obligations and safeguard your rights under the Data Protection Legislation at all times. For more  details on security see Part 7, below. 

As stated above, we do not generally collect any personal data directly from you, but if you contact us  and we obtain your personal details from your email, we may use them to respond to your email. The  other technical data referred to above is necessary for the technical operation of our Site. We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes other than storage  on an email and/or web hosting server. 

  1. Transferring your data 

We will only store your personal data in the UK. This means that it will be fully protected under  the Data Protection Legislation.

Personal data security is essential to us, and to protect personal data, we take the following  measures: 

limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third  parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of  confidentiality; and procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss,  alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data) including notifying you  and/or the Information Commissioner’s Office where we are legally required to do so. 

  1. Sharing your data with others 

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to the  following exception(S):. 

If we sell, transfer, or merge all or part of our business or assets, your personal data may be  transferred to a third party. Any new owner of our business may continue to use your personal  data in the same way that we have used it, as specified in this Privacy & Cookie Policy (i.e. to  communicate with you). 

In some limited circumstances, we may be required to disclose your personal data to the  government, law enforcement and regulatory bodies and agencies in order to comply with our  own legal and regulatory obligations. 

From time to time, it may be necessary to share data for statistical purposes. We may contract  with a third party for hosting and data storage purposes. 

If any of your personal data is transferred to a third party, as described above, we will try to  ensure your that information and data are anonymised, handled safely, securely, and in  accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law. 

  1. How can I access my personal data? 

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can contact us for details of that  personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject  access request”. 

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown  in Part 10. 

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded  or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding. 

We will respond to your subject access request within one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to  provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of  three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
