​
Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information
​
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it is treated securely. Any details sent to us using the contact forms on our website are encrypted and protected with 128 Bit encryption on SSL.
Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) may be transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
​
Data Transfers
​
We also may transfer the personal data we collect about you to countries outside of the country in which the information originally was collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the personal data. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that data as described in this Privacy Notice and such transfers will be in compliance with applicable law.
When we transfer personal data from within the European Union to countries or international organizations that are based outside the European Union the transfer takes place based on: –
• An adequacy decision by the European Commission; or
• In the absence of an adequacy decision, other legally permitted grounds: (a) a legally binding and enforceable instrument between public authorities or bodies; (b) binding corporate rules; or (c) standard data protection clauses (formerly called the Model Clauses) promulgated by the Commission.
​
Your Rights as a Data Subject
​
When authorised by applicable law, a data subject may exercise certain specific rights, such as:
• Right of access: A data subject may access his or her personal data in order to verify that his or her personal data is processed in accordance with law.
• Right to rectification: A data subject may request the rectification of any inaccurate or incomplete data held about him or her, in order to protect the accuracy of such information and to adapt it to the data processing.
• Right to erasure: A data subject may request that the Data Controller erases information about him or her and to no longer process that data.
• Right to restriction of processing: A data subject may request that the Data Controller restricts the processing of his or her data.
• Right to data portability: A data subject may request data portability, meaning that the data subject can receive the originally provided personal data in a structured and commonly used format or that the data subject can request the transfer of the data to another data controller.
• Right to object: A data subject who provide a Data Controller with personal data may object, at any time, to the data processing on several grounds as set out under UK GDPR without needing to justify his or her decision.
• Right not to be subject of automated individual decision-making: A data subject may request not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, if such profiling produces a legal effect concerning the data subject or similarly significantly affects him or her.
• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: Every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with an applicable supervisory authority; in particular in the EU Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes UK GDPR.
Whenever data processing is based on consent as described under Article 7 of the UK GDPR, the data subject may withdraw his or her consent at any time. If you require more information about the processing of your personal data, please refer to the How to Contact Us section below.
