You agree that we have the right to share your personal information with the parties set out below for the purposes set out above:

Where we store your personal information
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
How long we keep it
We will keep your personal information for 6 years, after which time it will be destroyed.
Your rights
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
- request access to, correction or erasure of, the personal information we hold about you;
- request the restriction of processing of your personal information;
- object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground; and
- request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal information, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please email [email protected].
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information or to exercise any of the other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
Should you be unhappy with our processing of your personal information, you have a right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, which is the regulator for data protection.
Please address any questions, comments and requests regarding our data processing practices to Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, SK9 5AF.
