The only people allowed access to your personal data are employees and partners who look after our communications and the services for which you’ve registered an interest. For example, our communications team would need to access your data so they can contact you via email.
We only hold your information for as long as we provide the services we’ve told you about. Or, if that information is on our mailing list, until you unsubscribe.

Your rights
The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short, is one of the biggest changes to data privacy in recent years. Its purpose is to put you in control of how your information is collected and used by organisations.
That means you have the right to know exactly for what purpose your information is used, how it’s looked after and how you can change or remove that information.
If you have any queries about how we collect and use your information, which we haven’t already answered on this page, please feel free to get in touch. If you’d like to know more about your rights, the Information Commissioner’s website is a good source of general information.
