This section describes how we collect and use your personal information.
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (such as anonymous data).
We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. The law says that we must identify a lawful basis for each use of your personal data. We rely on a number of lawful bases, including:
1. Where we have obtained freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent from you to use your personal information in certain ways.
2. Where we need to perform a contract that we have entered into with you.
3. Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
4. Where it is necessary for us to use your personal information to pursue our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and we believe that using your personal information in that way is not overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights.
Below, we have set out the purposes for which we use each category of your personal data and the lawful bases which are relevant to those purposes.
We collect, store and use some or all of the following categories of personal information about you:
* Usage information: IP address, location, browser details, operating system details, referral source, duration of visit, page views, website navigation information and service use details. We use usage information to analyse the use and performance of our website and services. Our lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in delivering our services, and monitoring and improving our website and services.
* Account and profile details: name, address, telephone number, email address, usernames, passwords, profile picture, title, gender, data of birth, relationship status, education information, employment information. We use this information to provide our services, enable certain parts of our website, to ensure the security of your information and to inform our communications with you. Our lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in the proper administration of our website and services.
* Service information: details about you in either your personal or professional capacity that you disclose to us in the course of us providing our services to you, including data that you provide for the purposes of publishing. We use this information in the course of providing our services to you. Our lawful basis for this processing is that it is necessary in order for us to perform our contract with you.
* Communication information: email address, address, telephone number, social media account usernames, communications content, communications metadata, enquiries. We use this information to communicate with you, including responding to your questions, or providing information about our services, website or relationship. Our lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in building our relationship and communicating with you.
* Subscription details: email address, subscription preferences. We use this information to send you relevant newsletters and marketing information. Our lawful basis for this processing is consent.
We may also process your personal information where we have a legal obligation to do so. This may include disclosing personal information to regulators, the courts or law enforcement bodies.
If you fail to provide certain personal information when we request it, we may not be able to perform our contract with you properly (meaning we may not be able to provide our services properly) or we may be prevented from achieving our legitimate interests (such as ensuring that our website is up to date and works properly).
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another purpose and that purpose is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the lawful basis which allows us to do so.
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
This includes:
* securely encrypting your data;
* testing our security and conducting audits to ensure that it stays up to date; and
* putting contractual terms in place with third parties that process your data to ensure that your data and your rights are secured.
We may share your data with third parties, including third-party service providers, suppliers, subcontractors and other entities in the group. We require all third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
All third parties are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow third parties to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to access your personal data for specific purposes and in accordance with our instructions, or in the case of clients for the specific purposes that we have agreed with them in advance.
We may share your personal information with other third parties, for example in with a potential purchaser in the context of a potential sale or restructuring of the business. We may also need to share your personal information with a regulator to comply with the law.
We may transfer your personal information outside the EU. If we do, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal information.
Transfers will always be subject to adequate safeguards.
These safeguards may take the form of an adequacy decision. Adequacy decisions are made by the European Commission in respect of certain countries. An adequacy decision means that the countries to which we transfer your data are deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information.
To ensure that your personal information does receive an adequate level of protection in the absence of an adequacy decision, we will put in place binding corporate rules or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or the ICO to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and respects the EU and UK laws on data protection. If you require further information about these protective measures, please contact us using the details at the top of this page.
