3. Cookies

This website, like all modern online services, uses browser ‘cookies’ (text-only strings of information known as ‘session’ and ‘persistent’ cookies) for the proper functioning, activity data and ongoing developments of this service. ‘Cookies’ are set for each domain used by this service, which you may remove at any time with your browser settings; but if you choose to do so this service may not function properly and you should discontinue your use of it.

Information about ‘cookies’ and visitor options can be easily found online (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie).

4. How We Use Your Information and Legal Basis for Processing

We will only use your personal data in accordance with the lawful basis (there may be more than one) for the corresponding purpose.

Most commonly, we will use your personal data where:

  • we are performing a contract with you;
  • we may have other legal obligations;
  • it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third-party) and your fundamental rights do not override those interests; and/or
  • you have given your consent.

5. Where We Store and Use Your Information

The data that we collect from you will be stored on secure servers within the European Economic Area ("EEA"). The majority (or all) of such data is held within the UK.

If we ever transfer your data out of the EEA, appropriate safeguards will be in place to a reasonable standard recognised by the European Commission for protection of personal data.

6. Securing Your Information

We maintain appropriate organisational and technological safeguards to help protect against loss, misuse or unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of the information we hold about you. We also seek to ensure our service providers do the same. Unfortunately, no system can be guaranteed as completely secure and there is an inherent risk in transmitting information over the internet. It may be possible for an unrelated party to intercept or access such transmissions unlawfully.

If you believe that your personal information under our control has been compromised, including access to any accounts you hold with our services, please contact us immediately.

7. How Long We Hold Your Information

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant service to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, in accordance with our retention policies.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Where you contribute content to our online services, we will generally only keep your contribution for as long as is reasonably required for the purpose(s) for which it was submitted. After this time, your personal information will either be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can be used for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

8. Sharing Your Information

Your personal data will not be shared with third-parties unnecessarily.

We may disclose your personal data to our professional service providers and suppliers insofar as reasonably necessary for them to perform their services for us or for you.

We may disclose your personal data to others insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining insurance coverage, managing risks, obtaining professional advice, or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.

If you contribute inappropriate or objectionable content on our services or where we reasonably believe you may be in breach of the law, we may report your content and behaviour to relevant parties.

If our services include access to third-party components, they may collect information from and about you and your interaction with them; any such activity will be subject to their privacy policy.

In addition to the specific disclosures of personal data set out in this section, we may disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.

We reserve the right to transfer your personal information in the event we sell or transfer all or a part of our business or assets so that the buyer can continue to provide the services. We will make reasonable efforts to provide you with advance notification of the transfer of your information in such circumstances.
