Log data

When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log the standard data provided by your web browser.

It may include your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, and other details.

When we send you an email newsletter we may collect data about how you use our emails – for example, whether you open them and which links you click on, including your IP address.

Personal information

We may ask for personal information when you contact us about our services or sign up to our email newsletter, such as your:

We only retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide a service, to improve our services in future, or for as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.

While we retain this data, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. If you request your personal information be deleted, or where your personal information becomes no longer relevant to our operations, we will erase it from our system within a reasonable timeframe.

Third-party access to information

We use a third party provider, Campaign Monitor, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter.

We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. For more information, please see https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB

We will refuse government and law enforcement requests for data if we believe a request is too broad or unrelated to its stated purpose. However, we may cooperate if we believe the requested information is necessary and appropriate to comply with legal process, to protect our own rights and property, to protect the safety of the public and any person, to prevent a crime, or to prevent what we reasonably believe to be illegal, legally actionable, or unethical activity.
