Consent and other legal grounds for processing your personal data
Whilst we always want you to be aware of how we are using your personal data, this does not necessarily mean that we are required to ask for your consent before we can use it. In the day to day running of our business we may use your personal data without asking for your consent because:
• we are entering into and carrying out our obligations under a contract with you;
• we need to use your personal data for our own legitimate purposes (such as the administration and management of our business and the improvement of our services) and our doing so will not interfere with your privacy rights;
• we are subject to legal obligations that require us to use your personal data in certain ways (such as disclosing information to HM Revenue & Customs).
In exceptional circumstances we may wish to use your personal data for a different purpose which does require your consent. In these circumstances we will contact you to explain how we wish to use your data and to ask for your consent. You are not required to give consent just because we ask for it. If you do give consent you can change your mind and withdraw it at a later date.
To help you understand the legal grounds we rely on for different types of processing, we have set out an overview of the main processing activities we undertake and the relevant legal grounds below:
​
Categories of personal data used: Name and contact details
Purpose: To respond to your enquiries regarding our goods and services
Legal basis: Legitimate interest (in growing our business and developing new customer relationships) and/or contractual necessity
​
​

You are not under a legal obligation to provide us with any of your personal data but please note that if you elect not to provide us with your personal data we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or provide you with the information, goods or services you have requested.
Your rights to know what personal data we hold and to control how we use it
You have a legal right to know what personal data we hold about you - this is called the right of subject access. You can exercise this right (or any of the other rights described below) by sending us a written request at any time.
You also have rights to:
• prevent your personal data being used for marketing purposes (see How we use your personal data for marketing for further details);

Automated decision making and profiling
We do not make use of automated decision making or profiling.
When we will share your personal data with others
We share your data with the following people in the day to day running our business:
• the business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors we work with to provide you with information, goods or services that you have requested from us;
• analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site.
We may also share your personal information with third parties on a one-off basis, for example, if:
• we sell or buy any business or assets (including our own), in which case we will disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; or
• we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our website terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, ourselves or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
How we keep your personal data safe
We take every care to ensure that your personal data is kept secure. The security measures we take include:
• only storing your personal data on our secure servers;
• keeping paper records to a minimum and ensuring that those we do have are stored in locked filing cabinets on our office premises;
• ensuring that our staff receive regular data security awareness training;
• maintaining up to date firewalls and anti-virus software to minimise the risk of unauthorised access to our systems;
• enforcing a strict policy on the use of mobile devices and out of office working.
Unfortunately, sending information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of personal data sent to our website; you send us personal data at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features (some of which are described above) to try to prevent unauthorised access.
How we use your personal data for marketing
We will add your details to our marketing database if you complete the contact form on our website and opt in to receive marketing. The marketing material we send to you will be via email.
You can check and update your current marketing preferences at any time by calling or emailing us using the details set out in the Who we are and how you can contact us section above.
We never share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
How long we keep your personal data
We only keep your personal data for as long as we actually need it. In practice this means that we will keep:
• If you contact us with a query, we will retain a copy of our correspondence with you for a period of 6 years.
• If you sign up to our newsletter, we will retain your details until you ask to be removed from the mailing list, plus a period of 6 months.
Please note that we may anonymise your personal data or use it for statistical purposes. We keep anonymised and statistical data indefinitely but we take care to ensure that such data can no longer identify or be connected to any individual.

You are also entitled to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office which you can do by visiting www.ico.org.uk.
