PRIVACY

In order to protect your privacy we will not distribute your name, email address or any other personal information we may hold to third parties. In the event that recognised law enforcement agencies or an official court order requests information we do reserve the right to co-operate entirely with their wishes.

If you want to request further information about our privacy policy please contact us.

VISITORS TO OUR WEBSITE
When someone visits our website we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site.

This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

USE OF SERVICES BY MINORS
Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of seventeen (17), and we request that they do not provide Personal Data through our website.

SOCIAL MEDIA
If you send us a private or direct messages via social media the message will be stored for no more than 3 months. Your message and details will then be deleted.

Your information will not be shared with any other organisations within this timeframe unless we specifically have your consent to do so.

TELEPHONE CONTACT
When you call our advertised telephone numbers we will collect information such as your name, address and any other information we absolutely require in order to carry out your request.

EMAIL CONTACT
We monitor any emails sent to us, including file attachments, for viruses or malicious software. Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send is within the bounds of the law.

Our website contains a contact form which asks you for information which we require in order to reply to your enquiry. The personal information we collect from you consists of:

Your Name: We need your name to acknowledge who you are when we reply back.

Your Email Address: We require your email in order to communicate back to you via this method.

Your Telephone Number: We require your telephone number in order to communicate back to you via this method.

DATA RETENTION
Any personal information we collect from you via email, telephone or social media will be removed after three months or earlier if it is deemed no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. Should we require your information for longer than this we will inform you as to why this is required.

Any other information we hold for you will be destroyed after two years unless the information is legally required to maintain our records. You can contact us to obtain the criteria used to determine this period and our reasons as to why we require to hold your information for longer.

(SSL) SECURE SOCKETS LAYER
Our website uses SSL encryption.

The primary reason why SSL is used is to keep sensitive information sent across the Internet encrypted so that only the intended recipient can understand it. This is important because the information you send on the Internet is passed from computer to computer to get to the destination server.

Any computer in between you and the server can see your credit card numbers, usernames and passwords, and other sensitive information if it is not encrypted with an SSL certificate.

When an SSL certificate is used, the information becomes unreadable to everyone except for the server you are sending the information to. This protects it from hackers and identity thieves.

Your personal information (not including credit/debit card information) is never sent out of the United Kingdom. If you require more specific information regarding the location of this data please contact us.

The connection to our website is currently encrypted and authenticated using TLS 1.2, ECDHE_RSA with P-256, and AES_128_GCM

MAKING A COMPLAINT
When we receive a complaint from a person we make up a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint.

We will only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provide. We may compile and publish statistics showing information like the number of complaints we receive, but not in a form which identifies anyone.

We usually have to disclose the complainant’s identity to whoever the complaint is about. This is inevitable where, for example, the accuracy of a person’s record is in dispute.

If a complainant does not wish information identifying him or her to be disclosed, we will try to respect that. However, it may not be possible to handle a complaint on an anonymous basis.

We will keep personal information contained in complaint files in line with our retention policy. This means that information relating to a complaint will be retained for two years from closure. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted according to the ‘need to know’ principle.

Similarly, where enquiries are submitted to us we will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues and to check on the level of service we provide.
