Cookies
Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we put on your computer which are essential for the website to function properly and which help to provide you with a better online experience. These cookies cannot be switched off and do not store any of your information.
We use “analytical” cookies, which allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Third parties or publicly available sources
We may receive personal data about you from various third parties as set out below:
Technical Data from the following parties:
analytics providers;
advertising networks; and
search information providers.
Identity and Contact Data from publicly available sources such as Companies House and the Electoral Register based inside the UK.
When we do collect information we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom) and the Data Protection Act 2018 and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.
How we use your personal data
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
Where you have given consent for information to be used; for example if you have given consent to receive marketing and promotional materials.
Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
To comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We will carry out an assessment when relying on legitimate interests, to balance our interests against your own.
Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes. Otherwise we will keep any marketing data for the shortest duration possible and will delete this data once it has served the purpose for which it is kept.

Fair and transparent processing of your personal information.
