This Privacy Policy explains how we handle the personal data we collect from you when you visit this website.
What is personal data?
Personal data is anything that identifies you as an individual. For example, your name, email address, an ID number etc. are personal data.
Our legal obligations
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the law on data protection and privacy for individuals in the EU. It means we must tell you the following things about your personal data that we collect:
- How we collect it
- If it is shared with anyone else
- How it will be used, and our “lawful basis” under GDPR, for using it this way
- Hold long we hold it for
- Your rights regarding your personal data that we hold, how you can request a copy of it and request we remove it from our records.
(You can find out more about the GDPR at the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) website. The ICO is the data protection regulator in the UK.)
While we must comply with the law, we also want to be transparent and clear about the information we collect on our website, and how we use it. This Privacy Policy explains this, and will be updated from time to time. It was last updated on 21st May 2018.
