Cookies

We use cookies on our website to better the users experience whilst they visit the website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser and provide the users with a tailored experience.

We may send a cookie which may be stored on by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Where applicable this website uses a cookie control system allowing the user on their first visit to the website to allow or disallow the use of cookies on their computer and/or device. This complies with recent legislation requirements for websites to obtain explicit consent from users before leaving behind or reading files such as cookies on a user’s computer and/or device. 

We may use information we obtain from the cookie in the administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognise your computer when you visit our website, and to personalise our website for you. Our advertisers may also send you cookies.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google's privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.

How to manage cookies

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.

International data transfers

We do not routinely transfer data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), however whenever we do, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring safeguards are implemented. For example, we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this privacy policy.

If you are in the European Union, information which you provide may be transferred to countries (including the United States, Japan) which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Union. You expressly agree to such transfers.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as it’s necessary. Subject to our obligation to retain data under our separate legislative, insurance or regulatory requirements, from 25 May 2018 onwards we will keep the different types of information we collect and delete and remove any information which is over 7 years old when a client terminates an arrangement with us. We are working to retrospectively apply these data retention rules to all our records and will keep you updated with our progress.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete and amend your data. Please see the ‘Your Rights’ section below for further details on how to amend your information or request deletion of your personal data.

Security of your personal data

We have reviewed internal procedures and have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed such as:

• Password protection of any sensitive data sent by of email
• Password protection for any USB devices
• Securely locking filing cabinets to prevent unauthorised access

We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.

We will store all electronic personal information you provide on our secure servers and all hard copies will be securely stored. All electronic transactions you make to or receive from us will be encrypted using SSL technology.

Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. We will not ask you for your password.

Your rights

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Provision of such information may be subject to the payment of a fee.

Request a rectification of personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, although there may be a requirement to verify the accuracy of new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Complain you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance. See below on how to contact us.
