Personal Information We May Collect From You
In general, you can visit our website without giving us any information, and we do not know who you are.
By filling in forms on our website or by corresponding with us by telephone, email or otherwise you give us information about yourself. This includes information you provide when you register to use our website, subscribe to our services or newsletter, search for services, participate in discussion boards or other social media functions with us, enter a competition, promotion or survey or when you chat to one of our sales or support personnel.
The information you give us may include your name, address, e-mail address and phone number, personal description and photograph. If you are one of our anonymous website visitors, please bear in mind that we may still record the areas of the website which you visit and collect information about your computer, such as which browser you are using, your network location, the type of connection you are using (e.g. broadband, ADSL etc).
Direct Marketing
We may, from time to time, use your personal data to tell you about relevant services, events, news, updates and offers. This is what we mean when we talk about ‘marketing’. The personal information we have for you is made up of what you tell us, and data we collect when you use our services, or from third parties we work with.
We study this to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you. We may contact you by e-mail, phone, or mail, unless you have registered with the appropriate Preference Service or opted for us not to do so.
We can only use your personal information to send you marketing if it’s relevant to you and/or you have opted to receive it. That is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. It must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. You can ask us to stop sending you marketing by contacting us or unsubscribing at any time.
Whatever you choose, you’ll still receive other important information such as project updates and to carry out our obligations under any contracts we have entered with you.
We may ask you to confirm or update your preferences, in the future. We will also ask you to do this if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business. If you change your mind you can update your choices at any time by contacting us.
Keeping Your Personal Data
We will keep your personal information for as long as you are a member , and we may keep your data for up to 10 years to respond to any questions or complaints and to maintain records according to rules that apply to us.
We may keep your data for longer than 10 years if we cannot delete it for legal, regulatory or technical reasons. We may also keep it for research or statistical purposes. If we do, we will make sure that your privacy is protected and only use it for those purposes.
We may share your personal information with companies performing services on our behalf and these organisations:
– Any party linked with you or your business’s product or service
– Companies that we introduce you to
– Organisations that introduce you to us
– Companies we have a joint venture or agreement to co-operate with
– Courier services – who will only use the information to provide that service
In some circumstances, we may have to disclose your personal information by law, because a court or the police or other law enforcement agency has asked us for it.
We may also share your personal information if the structure or ownership changes in the future. We may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business, or our assets. Or we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. During any such process, we may share your data with other parties. We’ll only do this if they agree to keep your data safe and private.
Protecting Your Information
Unfortunately, transmitting data across the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure. Although we will do everything to keep your personal data safe and secure, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our website. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
