This Privacy Policy applies only to your use of this website. This website may contain links to other websites. Please note that I have no control over how your data is collected, stored, or used by other websites and I advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites before providing any data to them.
As a data subject, you have the following rights under the GDPR, which this Policy and my use of personal data have been designed to uphold:
If you have any cause for complaint about the use of your personal data, please contact me using the details provided on my contact page and I will do my best to solve the problem for you. If I am unable to help, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office.
For further information about your rights, please contact the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
Depending upon your use of this website, I may collect some or all of the following personal and non-personal data (please also see my Cookie Policy for information on how I use Cookies and similar technologies):
All personal data is processed and stored securely, for no longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. I will comply with my obligations and safeguard your rights under the GDPR at all times.
My use of your personal data will always have a lawful basis, either because it is necessary for my performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to my use of your personal data (e.g. by subscribing to emails), or because it is in my legitimate interests. Specifically, I may use your data for the following purposes:
With your permission and/or where permitted by law, I may also use your data for marketing purposes which may include contacting you by email, telephone or post with information, news and offers on my products and services. I will not, however, send you any unsolicited marketing or spam and will take all reasonable steps to ensure that I fully protect your rights and comply with my obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003.
You have the right to withdraw your consent to us using your personal data at any time, and to request that I delete it.
I do not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected.
I will not share any of your data with any third parties for any purposes.
I may sometimes contract with third parties to supply products and services to you on my behalf. These may include payment processing, delivery of goods, search engine facilities, advertising, and marketing. In some cases, the third parties may require access to some or all of your data. Where any of your data is required for such a purpose, I will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data will be handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, My obligations, and the obligations of the third party under the law.
I may compile statistics about the use of this site including data on traffic, usage patterns, user numbers, sales, and other information. All such data will be anonymised and will not include any personally identifying data, or any anonymised data that can be combined with other data and used to identify you. I may from time to time share such data with third parties such as prospective investors, affiliates, partners, and advertisers. Data will only be shared and used within the bounds of the law.
I may sometimes use third party data processors that are located outside of the European Economic Area (“the EEA”) (The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). Where I transfer any personal data outside the EEA, I will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR.
In certain circumstances, I may be legally required to share certain data held by us, which may include your personal data, for example, where I am involved in legal proceedings, where I am complying with legal requirements, a court order, or a governmental authority.
When you submit personal data via this website, you may be given options to restrict my use of your data. In particular, I aim to give you strong controls on my use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in my emails and at the point of providing your details).
You may also wish to sign up to one or more of the preference services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service (“the TPS”), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (“the CTPS”), and the Mailing Preference Service (“the MPS”). These may help to prevent you receiving unsolicited marketing. Please note, however, that these services will not prevent you from receiving marketing communications that you have consented to receiving.
You may access this site without providing any data at all. However, to use all features and functions available on this site you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data.
You have the right to ask for a copy of any of your personal data held by me (where such data is held). Under the GDPR, no fee is payable and I will provide any and all information in response to your request free of charge. Please contact me for more details using the contact details found on my contact page.
