Privacy Policy
We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how
we will treat your personal information.
(1) What information do we collect?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:
(a) information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including
your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral
source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths);
(b) information relating to any use you may make of our free legal notices;
(c) information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us;
(d) information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our website services; and
(e) any other information that you choose to send to us.
(2) Cookies
A cookie consists of a piece of text sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the
browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page
from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the website. We will use the cookies
to keep track of you whilst you navigate the website and to enable our website to recognize you
when you visit.
Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent
cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry
date.
We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of this website. Google Analytics generates
statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on
users’ computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports
about its use. Google will store this information. Google’s privacy policy is available at:
http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just
third-party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking
“Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.
Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites,
including this one.
(3) Using your personal information
Personal information submitted to us via this website will be used for the purposes specified in
this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.
We may use your personal information to:
(a) administer the website;
(b) improve your browsing experience by personalizing the website;
(c) enable your use of the services available on the website;
(d) send you non-marketing commercial communications;
(e) send you email notifications that you have specifically requested;
(f) send to you marketing communications relating to our business or the businesses of carefully
selected third parties which we think may be of interest to you by post or, where you have
specifically agreed to this, by email or similar technology (you can inform us at any time if you
no longer require marketing communications);
(g) provide third parties with statistical information about our users – but this information will not
be used to identify any individual user; and
(h) deal with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website.
Where you submit personal information for publication on our website, we will publish and
otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to us.
(4) Disclosures
We may disclose information about you to any of our employees, officers, agents, suppliers or
subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes as set out in this privacy policy.
In addition, we may disclose your personal information:
(a) to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
(c) in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to
others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk);
(d) to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset that we are (or are
contemplating) selling; and
(e) to any person who we reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority
for disclosure of that personal information where, in our reasonable opinion, such court or
authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal information.
Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.
(5) International data transfers
Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this privacy policy.
Information which you provide may be transferred to countries which do not have data
protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Economic Area.
In addition, personal information that you submit for publication on the website will be published
on the internet and may be available, via the internet, around the world. We cannot prevent the
use or misuse of such information by others.
You expressly agree to such transfers of personal information.
(6) Security of your personal information
We will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or
alteration of your personal information.
We will store all the personal information you provide on our hosting provider’s secure
(password- and firewall-protected) servers.
Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee
the security of data sent over the internet.
You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. We will not ask
you for your password (except when you log in to the website).
(7) Policy amendments
We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting an updated version on our
website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.
(8) Your rights
You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you. Provision
of such information will be subject to:
(a) the payment of a fee (currently fixed at £10.00); and
(b) the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, we will usually accept a
photocopy of your passport certified by a lawyer or bank plus an original copy of a utility bill
showing your current address).
We may withhold such personal information to the extent permitted by law.
You may instruct us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes, by
sending an email to us. In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use
of your personal information for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity
to opt out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes.
(9) Third-party websites
The website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or
practices of third-party websites.
(10) Updating information
Please let us know if the personal information which we hold about you needs to be corrected
or updated.
