    5. Cookies

    • We use Cookies on our website. A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your computer (or other electronic device) when you visit our website.  This enables us to monitor how many times you visit the website, which pages you go to, traffic data, location data and the originating domain name of your internet service provider.

    • You can set your browser not to accept cookies, however some of our website features may not function as a result.

    • For more information about cookies generally and how to disable them you can visit: www.allaboutcookies.org.

      6. Data security

      • We have adopted the technical and organisational measures necessary to ensure the security of the personal data we collect, use and maintain, and prevent their alteration, loss, unauthorised processing or access, having regard to the state of the art, the nature of the data stored and the risks to which they are exposed by human action or physical or natural environment.  However, as effective as our security measures are, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database.

      • Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk.  Once we have received your information, we will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access

      • Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

        7. Links to other websites

        • Our website may contain links to and from other websites (e.g. social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook). Unless we own such websites, we accept no responsibility for the way in which they process your personal data. You are recommended to check the privacy policy of each website before you submit any personal data to it. 

          8.Social Plugins

          • We use so-called social plugins (buttons) of social networks such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

          • When you visit our websites, these buttons are deactivated by default, i.e. without your intervention they will not send any data to the respective social networks. Before you can use these buttons, you must activate them by clicking on them. They then remain active until you deactivate them again or delete your cookies. Please see section 4 for further details regarding our use of cookies.

          • After their activation, a direct link to the server of the respective social network is established. The contents of the button are then transmitted from the social network directly to your browser and incorporated in the website.

          • After activation of a button, the social network can retrieve data, independently of whether you interact with the button or not. If you are logged on to a social network, the network can assign your visit to the website to your user account.

          • If you are a member of a social network and do not wish it to combine data retrieved from your visit to our websites with your membership data, you must log out from the social network concerned before activating the buttons.

          • We have no influence on the scope of data that is collected by the social networks through their buttons. The data use policies of the social networks provide information on the purpose and extent of the data that they collect, how this data is processed and used, the rights available to you and the settings that you can use to protect your privacy.

            9. Your rights

            • Your right to access data

              • We always aim to be as open as we can and allow people access to their personal information. Where we hold your personal data, you can make a ‘subject access request’ to us and we will provide you with:

                • a description of it;

                • an explanation of why we are holding it;

                • information about who it could be disclosed to; and

                • a copy of the information in an intelligible form – unless an exception to the disclosure requirements is applicable.

              • If you would like to make a ‘subject access request’ please make it in writing to our contact email address noted in section 2 and mark it clearly as ‘Subject Access Request’.

              • If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by providing you with the specific information you need over the telephone.

              • Unless you agree a different time, we will complete your subject access request within one month.
                 

  • Right to stop marketing messages

    • You always have the right to stop marketing messages. We will usually include an unsubscribe button in any marketing emails.

  • Right to restrict data

    • If we hold personal data about you and you believe it is inaccurate you have the right to request us to restrict the data until it is verified. You also have the right to request that the data is restricted where you have a right to it being deleted but would prefer that it is restricted.
       

  • Transferring your personal data

    • Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal information or need to process it in connection with your contract, as set out under Section 4 How we use your personal information, you may ask us to provide you with a copy of that information in a structured data file. We will provide this to you electronically in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form, such as a CSV file.

    • You can ask us to send your personal information directly to another service provider, and we will do so if this is technically possible. We may not provide you with a copy of your personal information if this concerns other individuals or we have another lawful reason to withhold that information

    • You always have the right to complain to the personal data regulator, the ICO. You may also be entitled to seek compensation if there has been a breach of data protection laws.
