The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to provide you with a clear explanation about how your personal information is collected and used by us during your interaction with us as well as your rights in relation to your personal information.
We only collect basic personal information about you (such as name, email address and basic contact details – as well as any other information that you choose to provide) and only in the following ways:
Information that you yourself provide through our website, in writing, via telephone, at our events or through other means; or
Information that we obtain from your interaction with our websites and / or services.
We will not ask for, and do not intend to collect, any sensitive personal information about you.
We need to know basic personal information about you in order to respond to requests you make to us, and to provide you with information relating to our services which either you have consented to receive or which relate to our services which we believe may be of interest to you. We will not use your personal information for any other purpose.
We may collect information about your usage of our websites through cookies. We do this so that we can tailor and personalise your experience and, in conjunction with other user’s information and usage, improve the content, layout and performance of our website.

We use service providers to operate our websites, such as website hosting and enquiry functionality, and some of these service providers will process your personal information as part of the services they provide to us. We will ensure that those service providers also comply with this Privacy Notice.
Your personal information will be kept by us for no longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless required to be kept longer by law.
