YOUR RIGHTS

1. You have the right to information about what personal data we process, how and on what basis as set out in this policy.
2. You have the right to access your own personal data to understand 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 is commonly known as a subject access request, which you may request by contacting us using the contact information below. We may require additional information to verify your identity before handing over your information.
3. You can correct any inaccuracies in your personal data. To do so, email newsletter subscribers may contact us using the contact information below.
4. You have the right to request that we erase your personal data where we were not entitled under the law to process it or it is no longer necessary to process it for the purpose it was collected. To do so, you must cancel your email newsletter subscriptions by clicking the unsubscribe button in the newsletter, or contact us using the contact information below.
5. While you are requesting that your personal data is corrected or erased or are contesting the lawfulness of our processing, you can request for its use to be restricted while we comply with your request. To do so you should contact us using the contact information below.
6. You have the right to object to data processing where we are relying on a legitimate interest to do so and you think that your rights and interests outweigh our own and you wish us to stop.
7. You have the right to receive a copy of your personal data and to transfer your personal data to another data controller. We will not charge for this and will in most cases aim to do this within one month. We may require additional information to verify your identity before handing over your information.

When you agree to purchase services from us, we will maintain your Client Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information. If you are an email subscriber, we will erase all of your information within a reasonable time after you cancel your email subscription. You may cancel your email subscription by clicking the unsubscribe button in the newsletter. If you would like us to delete your data, contact us by using the contact information below.

DATA USE 

We will only collect, use, store, share (and any other of the defined uses of processing data) where there is a lawful basis as defined by data protection legislation, and do not collect more information than we need to fulfill the purpose. We document what lawful bases are relied upon for our processing activities. Lawful bases include where you have given consent, where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, when complying with law and where there are legitimate interests. More information on how we use these lawful bases is provided below:

• Consent – In certain situations we can process your data with your consent. Where we process data based on consent, we will ask you for your explicit consent (you have to take an action) which you can withdraw at any time, but it will not affect the lawfulness of processing before then.
• Contract – In certain situations, we need your personal information to comply with our contractual obligations. Where we rely on contract, we will ask you to agree to the use of your personal data necessary for entering into or the performance of your contract with us. For example, by purchasing services from us, we will collect information about you so we can deliver the services to you.
• Complying with law – We may need to process your Personal Information if the law requires us to.
• Legitimate interest – We will only rely on legitimate interests where the processing of your data is not overridden by your interests or rights and freedoms. This means that we may collect and use your information in a way that can reasonably be expected in the provision of services to our customers and does not materially impact your rights, freedoms or interests. For example, we may use your information to build a more accurate picture of you to better inform our business decisions.

DATA PROTECTION POLICY

We regard the lawful and correct treatment of your Personal Information by us as very important to our business. To this end we fully endorse and adhere to data protection laws across Europe in the form of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the equivalent data protection law in the UK.

Although we take the security of your Personal Information very seriously and are constantly improving our efforts to protect it, no electronic communication over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secured. Should a breach of personal data occur (whether in respect of you or someone else) then we will take notes and keep evidence of that breach. If the breach is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals then we will also notify the appropriate authorities.

We need to gather and use certain information about individuals to provide services to our customers. These can include customers, suppliers, business contacts, employees and other people the organisation has a relationship with or may need to contact. Our data protection policy governs how this personal data must be collected, handled and stored to meet our data protection standards and to comply with the law.

CHANGES

We may update our policies from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
