We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. Our processing activities rely on:
Under data protection law, you have the following rights:
You have the right to be informed about how we collect and use your personal data. This information is provided in our Privacy Policy and this GDPR page.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is commonly known as a subject access request.
You have the right to request correction of personal data that you believe is inaccurate. You also have the right to request completion of information you believe is incomplete.
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
You have the right to request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances.
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that we transfer this data to another organisation.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
You have rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not currently use automated decision-making processes that significantly affect you.
To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the details provided above. We will respond to your request within one month. In some cases, we may need to extend this period, but we will inform you if this is necessary.
We will not charge a fee for processing your request unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. In such cases, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse the request.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Our retention periods are based on business needs and legal requirements.
We do not routinely transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom. If such transfers become necessary, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with data protection law.
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):
Information Commissioner's Office
Wycliffe House, Water Lane

We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance.
We may update this GDPR information from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
