Privacy Notice

This privacy notice explains how we use any personal information we collect about you when you contact us by phone, email, letter, attend any of our events or when you use our website.

We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. We aim to be clear and open about our data and security practices.

Where we ask you to provide us with any information by which you can be identified, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement, and in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018.

What information do we collect about you?

We collect information about you when you fill in an online form to:

  • Sign up for email updates
  • Contact us
  • Place orders for free or paid products or services
  • Complete surveys or provide feedback.
     

This information may include:

  • Name, role and organisation
  • Contact details including email address
  • Demographic information such as postcode and interests.
     

We collect material that you proactively post or contribute to our sites and any correspondence you have with us.

When you contact us by email, letter or on the phone, we may also record this information on our internal systems to help us process your request efficiently.

How do we use your information?

We collect information about you to manage your account, process your order or fulfil any contract we have with you.

We also use your information to help us develop products and services that you need, and where we have a lawful basis and permission to contact you, we may use it to help us send you relevant and timely information about the help and support that we offer.

Where do we store your information?

Online forms

The forms on our website are built using a platform hosted in the US, so the information you provide to us is initially stored there. The contract we have with this provider ensures their practices comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation 2018 and we regularly delete data from this system.

In the longer term your data is stored in our internal record keeping system, which is hosted on a secure server in the EU.

Security and encryption

We take great care to ensure that our websites operate at the highest security levels and that our suppliers are committed to best practice in digital security. All personal information and financial data is encrypted in transmission. However, the security of data transmission via the internet can never be 100% guaranteed, and data transmission is at your own risk.

How long do we keep your information?

We do not keep your information for longer than necessary. We keep financial information for seven years due to legal requirements, and we delete all other personal information from our customer internal system if we have had no contact with you for three years.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
