You can visit the website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. However, if you give us personal information about yourself or others, we commit to treat it securely, fairly and lawfully. We are committed to protecting your privacy. Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified.

When you provide personal information to us, we will only use it when the law allows us to. We will most commonly use your personal data to communicate with you and provide you with information or solutions.

You consent to your marketing at any time by contacting us. We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any other registered company.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes we collect unless we think we need to use it for another reason. That reason is compatible with the original purpose. We may use your personal information to give you more relevant content.

If we transfer your personal data out of the United Kingdom (UK) or European Economic Area (EEA), we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it.

We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, and the purposes for which we process your data.
