1. What Does This Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy applies to your use of Our Site and any personal data that you provide to the business by any means. Our Site may contain links to other websites and/or applications. Please note that we have no control over how your data is collected, stored, or used by other websites and/or applications and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites and/or applications before providing any data to them.

2. What Is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, "the Data Protection Legislation") as 'any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier'.

Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

3. What Are My Rights?

Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

1. The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in Part 13.
2. The right to access the personal data we hold about you. Part 11 will tell you how to do this.
3. The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact us using the details in Part 13 to find out more.
4. The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we hold. Please contact us using the details in Part 13 to find out more.
5. The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.
6. The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
7. 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.
8. The right to data portability. This means that, 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 service or business in many cases.
9. Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not believe we use your personal data in this way.

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 13.

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, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office at www.ICO.org.uk. We would welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves, however, so please contact us first, using the details in Part 13.

It is in the legitimate interest of the ongoing viability of the business to have a properly functioning website to provide information about our products (please also see our Terms and Conditions, on our website, for more information on use of our website).

Administering our business: This may involve all the types of personal data listed in Part 4 and may involve Our cookie consent process and/or be in the legitimate interest of the ongoing viability of the business and/or be taking steps to enter into a contract with you and/or to fulfil a contract with you and/or to comply with legal obligations if a lawful request for data is made to Us.

Supplying our products and/or services to you: The website is for general information purposes only. If you contact us by any means and voluntarily provide personal data we will use this personal data to provide a service and/or product and/or information to you and to perform any administrative tasks associated with or incidental to the service and/or product and/or information provided.

Third Parties (including Complianz: the privacy suite for WordPress, Divi plug-in) whose content is used for the functioning of Our Site, may use third-party Cookies. To the best of Our knowledge none of these store your personal data in a way that you can be identified. Please see Our Cookie Policy for information on how to disable cookies. Please note that we do not control the activities of such third parties, nor the data that they collect and use themselves, and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such third parties.

By communicating information, news and offers on our products and/or services we are acting in the legitimate interest of the business to support the ongoing viability of the business.

We will only use your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected unless we reasonably believe that another purpose is compatible with that or those original purpose(s) and need to use your personal data for that purpose. If we do use your personal data in this way and you wish us to explain how the new purpose is compatible with the original, please contact us using the details in Part 13.

If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is unrelated to, or incompatible with, the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, we will inform you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

In some circumstances, where permitted or required by law, we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent. This will only be done within the bounds of the Data Protection Legislation and your legal rights.

7. How and Where Do You Store My Personal Data?

By assessing the locations of websites that we link to and use to manage Our Site, our email platform and other locations of personal data within the business (we have tried to use UK based storage where possible), if personal data is stored or transferred in or to other countries we believe that they are deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. For further information about adequacy decisions and adequacy regulations, please refer to the Information Commissioner's Office.

The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data, we will take reasonable steps to safeguard your personal data against it being accessed unlawfully or maliciously by a third party.

• We will follow the Information Commissioner's Office 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.

8. Do You Share My Personal Data?

We will not share your personal data with third parties (except as already described in this policy), subject to the following exception[s].

At your request, which may be oral, in writing, by telephone, electronic or other means as agreed with you.

If we sell, transfer, or merge parts 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(s) that we have used it, as specified in this Privacy Policy.

In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

9. How Can I Control My Personal Data?

In addition to your rights under the Data Protection Legislation, set out in Part 3, when you submit personal data via Our Site and/or provide it to the business by other means, you may be given options to restrict our use of your personal data.

You may also wish to sign up to one or more of the preference services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service ("the TPS"), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service ("the CTPS"), and the Mailing Preference Service ("the MPS"). These may help to prevent you receiving unsolicited marketing. Please note, however, that these services will not prevent you from receiving marketing communications that you have consented to receiving.

10. Can I Withhold Information?

You are not required to create an account using personal information to use our Site. You can elect not to contact us in a way that would require using your personal data.

You may restrict our use of Cookies. For more information, see Part 12 and our Cookie Policy.

11. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask 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 13.

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 28 days 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.
