SCOPE OF PRIVACY POLICY
We are committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of information provided by you to us. This privacy policy describes our current policies and practices with regard to personal data and sensitive personal data collected by us from you directly and/or through this website. The terms 'personal data' and 'sensitive personal data' refer to the categories of personally identifiable information about you as defined in the Data Protection Act 2004. For the purposes of this privacy policy references to 'personal data' include 'sensitive personal data' as appropriate.
NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY
We are continually improving our methods of communication and adding new functionality and features to this website and to our existing services. Because of these ongoing changes, changes in the law and the changing nature of technology, our data protection policy will change from time to time. We therefore encourage you to check this page frequently.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA INCLUDING EMAIL ADDRESSES
You may choose to receive advice, additional information or services from us. When you contact or instruct us, we request personal information about you such as your name, postal address, email address and telephone number as well as information required to verify your identity. We may also ask for demographic information to enable us to provide a personalised service to you. The information you provide is either manually or electronically stored. We sometimes supplement that information with information that is received from third parties. For instance, if inaccurate postal or zip codes are received, we may use third party software to fix them.
