Introduction
This Privacy Notice applies across all websites that we own and operate and all services we provide. For the purposes of this notice, we’ll just call them our ‘services’.
We are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Notice sets out the type of information we collect from you and what we do with that information.
When we say ‘personal data’ we mean identifiable information about you, like your name, email, address, payment information, comments on our website(s) and so on. If you can’t be identified (for example, where personal data has been aggregated and anonymised) then this Privacy Notice doesn’t apply.
We may need to update this notice from time to time. Where a change to the notice is significant, we’ll make sure we let you know – usually by sending you an email.
Please feel free to read the whole Privacy Notice, or if you haven’t got much time, you can jump to the section you need using the navigation menu.

Our principles of data protection
Our approach to data protection is built around four key principles. These are at the heart of everything we do relating to personal data.
Transparency: We will always approach how we process personal data by being open, honest and transparent.

How we collect your data
When you visit our websites or use our services, we collect personal data. The way we collect it can broadly be categorised as follows:
Information you provide to us directly: When you visit or use some parts of our websites and/or services we might ask you to provide personal data to us. For example, we ask for your contact information when you sign up to participate in the use of our website, such as advertising a service you may offer or participating in a message-board facility. If you don’t want to provide us with personal data, you don’t have to, but it might mean you can’t use some parts of our websites or our services.
Where we collect personal data, we will only process it:
- to perform a contract with you, or
- where we have legitimate interests to process the personal data and they’re not overridden by your rights, or
- in accordance with a legal or regulatory obligation.
If we don’t collect your personal data, we may be unable to provide you with all of our services, and some functions and features on our websites may not be available to you.

How we can share your data
There will be times when we need to share your personal data with third parties. We will only disclose your personal data to:
- third party service providers who assist us to use the personal data to, for example, support delivery of or provide functionality on the websites, or to deliver our services to you

Security
Security is a priority for us when it comes to your personal data. We’re committed to protecting your personal data and have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to make sure that happens.
If you would like more detailed information, please feel free to contact us.
Retention
The length of time we keep your personal data depends on what it is and whether we have an ongoing business need to retain it. For example, to provide you with a service you’ve requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.
We’ll retain your personal data for as long as we have a relationship with you and for a period of time afterwards where we have an ongoing business need to retain it, in accordance with our data retention policies and practices. Following that period, we’ll make sure it’s securely destroyed, deleted, or anonymised.

It’s your personal data and you have certain rights relating to it. When it comes to marketing communications, you can ask us not to send you these at any time – just send your request.

- request a copy of your personal data, or ask us to restrict processing your personal data or delete it
- object to our continued processing of your personal data.
