Security of your data
Non sensitive details (your email address etc.) when transmitted normally over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Whilst we take all possible means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit electronically to us and you do so at your own risk.
We keep your data secure in our database with appropriate security mechanisms in place.
In principle, we do not share your data with anyone else or any other organisation unless it is necessary for the purpose for which you have given us the data.
Our responsibilities
The law requires us to tell you the basis on which we process your data.
Some activities (e.g. sending you emails) require your consent. If the law requires your consent to process data in a certain way then we will obtain it before carrying out that activity.
Other activities are carried out to fulfil a contract or agreement.
In all other cases the law allows us to process your data if it is in our legitimate interest to do so, but only so long as we need to and your “interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms are not overriding”. Practically speaking, this means we carry out an exercise to check that we will not cause you harm by processing your data, that the data is not overly intrusive and that we will only do so in a way which is described in this privacy notice.
Your rights
The law requires us to tell you that you have a variety of rights about the way we process your data. These are as follows:
• Where our use of your data requires your consent, you may withdraw this consent at any time.
• Where we rely on our legitimate interest to process data, you may ask us to stop doing so.
• You may request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• You may change or stop the way in which we communicate with you or process data about you.
If you are not satisfied with the way we have processed your data then you can complain to the Office of the Information Commissioner.

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites which are not governed by this privacy statement.
