COOKIES:

Unless you have indicated your objection when disclosing your details to us, our system will issue cookies to your computer when you log on to the site. Cookies make it easier for you to log on to and use the site during future visits. They also allow us to monitor website traffic and to personalise the content of the site for you.

YOUR RIGHTS

If you are resident in the European Economic Area and/or your personal information is processed in the context of our UK office, you have certain legal rights in respect of the personal information about you held by us. This includes the right to obtain a copy of this information on request, and the right to correct, amend or delete such personal information or object to it being used for certain purposes (including marketing). We may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. 

We will comply with any requests to exercise your rights in accordance with applicable law, and so there may be circumstances where we are entitled to refuse your request. For example, where permitted to by law, we may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems). 

Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so free of charge, except where it would require a disproportionate effort (where we are permitted to charge a fee under applicable law). We aim to maintain any information we hold and our Site in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. To make any requests regarding your personal information, or if you have any questions or concerns regarding your personal information, you should contact us using the details below. You are also entitled to contact your local supervisory authority for data protection. In the UK, the data protection authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office.


ACCESSING AND UPDATING:
You are entitled to see the information held about you and you may ask us to make any necessary changes to ensure that it is accurate and kept up to date. If you wish to do this, please contact us at [email protected] We are entitled by law to charge a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.
 
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY:
Any changes to our privacy policy in the future will be posted to the website and, where appropriate, through e-mail notification.
