Our Privacy Policy

The privacy of our website visitors is of great importance to us. This privacy policy document outlines the nature of the personal information that may be received and collected by our site and how it is used.

Like many other web sites, our site records visitor traffic information using log files. The data held within the log files includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. We may use this to analyse trends, administer the site, track visitors' movements around the site and gather demographic information. The information is not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.

Our site also uses cookies to store information about visitors' preferences, to record user-specific information on which pages visitors access, and to customise web page content based on visitors' browser types or other information that is sent via their browsers. Once again, this information is not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.

If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your individual browser options. More detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.

If you contact us via this website you do so at your own discretion and provide any personal details requested at your own risk. Any personal information is kept private and stored securely until a time it is no longer required or has no use, as detailed in the Data Protection Act 1998. Every effort has been made to implement a safe and secure form-to-email submission process but we advise you that by using such form-to-email processes you do so at your own risk.

If/when we collect personal data from you we store it safely and confidentially and will only ever use it for the purpose for which you have provided it to us. We allow only those of our team members who need to process your data to have access and prevent everyone else from seeing it. We aim to meet the protection offered to you under the Data Protection Act 1998 and the new EU-GDPR standards.

By disclosing personal information to us you are giving your consent for us to collect, store and process your personal information in the manner described in this notice. We will process any updates you provide so that it remains accurate.

Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that we participate on are subject to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policies held with each social media platform respectively.

We advise you to use social media platforms wisely and communicate/engage with them with due care and caution in regard to your own privacy and personal details. We will never ask you for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and encourage those of you wishing to discuss sensitive details to contact us through primary communication channels such as telephone or email.

Our website may use social sharing buttons which help share web content directly from web pages to the social media platform in question. We advise you before using such social sharing buttons that you do so at your own discretion and note that the social media platform may track and save your request to share a web page respectively through your social media platform account.
