Privacy Policy Principles
Prior to being allowed to use your data in the way described in this privacy policy, data protection laws specify that we meet certain conditions. We therefore take our responsibilities under data protection laws extremely seriously, and this includes conforming to these conditions. In order to use your personal data, we will rely on conditions, and these depend on the activities we carry out.
Consent
We might supply you with marketing information about our services and products where you have given your explicit consent to us.
Legitimate Interests
We will reply on a condition known as ‘legitimate interest’ to use your personal data for any other purpose described in this privacy policy. It is in our legitimate interest to collect your personal data as this gives us the information that we require to provide our services to you more effectively. This requires us to fulfil a measured test of our interests in using your personal data, eg to provide you with information, products and services that you ask for, versus the interest you have as a citizen and the rights you have under data protection laws not to have your data sold to third party marketing companies without your knowledge, or to keep your personal data in secure or unstable countries or regions. The result of this measured test will determine whether we can use your personal data in the way described in this privacy policy. The exception is to marketing, where we will always rely on your explicit consent. To give full and proper consideration to your interest in carrying out this measured test, we will always act reasonably.
You do not have an obligation to provide us with any information, if however, you do supply information to us, we will be better able to supply any products information and services. We will not send irrelevant emails and you can ‘opt out’ or in of our email communications at any time. You do have the right to remove any information we hold on you and we will never sell, rent, distribute or make public your personal information. We recognise that data is a liability and therefore should only be collected and processed when it is absolutely necessary to do so.
