What we do with your information
As a general rule the information which you supply will be processed purely for the purpose(s) for which it is supplied and collected.
However, we may on occasion wish to use your information or to transfer it to any of our group companies. We may also wish to transfer your information to carefully selected, reputable third parties.

Also, if we sell our company or part of it, we will share your information with the purchaser, who may then provide you with information on their products and services.

How we protect the information we process
We have put in place measures which ensure the security of the information we collect and its correct use. These are appropriate to the nature of the information and prevent unauthorised access. We take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of our own staff and ensure that any persons who process information on our behalf reach the same high standards that we set ourselves. Our security measures include the use of software firewalls and intrusion detection systems and a high level of data encryption.
The accuracy of your information
While we endeavour to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date, we shall assume that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the information you provide us with is accurate. Should there be any inaccuracies in the information of which you inform us, or of which we become aware, it shall be promptly rectified by us. We do not retain any information about you which is out of date or which is no longer required.
