In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information.
We regret that if there are one or more points below with which you are not happy, your only recourse is to leave our website immediately.
We take seriously the protection of your privacy and confidentiality. We understand that all visitors to our website are entitled to know that their personal data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them, and will not accidentally fall into the hands of a third party.

Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website.

The basis on which we process information about you

The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.

We have a number of lawful bases for using this information under data protection legislation.

With regard to ‘general’ personal data that we collect which is not ‘special category data’ (which we define below). We have identified that we have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data in the way set out in this privacy notice. We will ensure that this legitimate interest is not overridden by your own data protection rights and freedoms and we are happy that you are not prejudiced in any way.

Please note that we do not rely on consent to process your non-special category personal data except in the following situation in relation to direct marketing by electronic means (either email or text or SMS).

Special Categories of Personal Data require a higher level of care. These are personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, Political opinions, Religious or philosophical beliefs, Trade union membership, Genetic data and biometric data processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, Personal data concerning health or medical information which we need to know about (either allergies or injuries or other medical conditions), Personal data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation.

Where we process any special categories of personal data we do so on the basis that you have given us clear, unambiguous, specific consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to our data protection officer as set out above but please be aware that this may result in us being unable to continue to care for you or otherwise provide you with our services.

In exceptional circumstances, we may be required to use your special categories of personal data in order to protect your vital interests or those of another person for example, in the case of an emergency or where life is in danger.

We may also need to use your information for the purposes of establishing, exercising or defending our legal rights, for example in the event of a complaint.

Complaints regarding content on our website

We attempt to moderate user generated content, but we are not always able to do so as soon as that content is published.

If you complain about any of the content on our website, we shall investigate your complaint.

If we feel it is justified or if we believe the law requires us to do so, we shall remove the content while we investigate.

Free speech is a fundamental right, so we have to make a judgment as to whose right will be obstructed: yours, or that of the person who posted the content that offends you.

If we think your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we shall not correspond with you about it.

6. Job application and employment

If you send us information in connection with a job application, we may keep it for up to three years in case we decide to contact you at a later date.

If we employ you, we collect information about you and your work from time to time throughout the period of your employment. This information will be used only for purposes directly relevant to your employment. After your employment has ended, we will keep your file for six years before destroying or deleting it.

Complaining

When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us.

We use that information to resolve your complaint.

If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give information, and if we do, what that information is.
