Storing Your Personal Data and Security

We take all reasonable steps to ensure the security of your information. The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us electronically and transmission of such data is therefore entirely at your own risk. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password so that you can access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

Information that we collect may on occasion be transferred and stored outside of the European Union for the purpose of supplying our goods or services to you. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will always take all reasonable precautions to make sure that your data remains secure and is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Disclosing Your Information

We will not sell or rent your information to third parties nor will we share your information with third parties for marketing purposes unless we have sought your consent beforehand.

Where applicable, we may also disclose your personal information to third parties:
• If you have asked us to do so
• When we are legally required to disclose your information
• To assist fraud reduction and minimise credit risks.

Third Party Links

You may find links to third party websites and social media (such as Linked In and Twitter) on our website. These websites should have their own privacy policies which you should check. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies whatsoever as we have no control over them.

Data Retention

The personal data we hold on you will be retained no longer than necessary. However when we have acted for you it may be necessary to retain information beyond our contractual relationship in order to satisfy the requirements of our insurers.
