How we use your personal information

What does the law say about this?


Our use of your information as described above is permitted by applicable data protection law because it is:


Do you have to give us the personal information we ask for?


You are not obliged to provide your personal information to us when generally navigating our website, however we cannot fulfil any specific requests for information or provide you with a tailored service unless you do so.


Do we process information about you without any human intervention at all?


Yes, at times we may use automated systems/processes and automated decision-making (like profiling) to ensure we give you a bespoke experience with us.


Our automated decisions are personas that we have created and a user’s past behaviour, combined into a scoring model. This helps us prioritise requests and services.


How long do you keep my personal information for?


We will keep your information for as long as you wish to receive our communications and thereafter for the longer of the period required in order to meet our business, legal or regulatory responsibilities. Typically this is for 2 years.


Sharing with third parties


To facilitate our efficient use of your information, and to provide you with content and/or resources, or to fulfil a request you make of us, we disclose your information to third parties. However, this disclosure will only occur in the following circumstances:



IP addresses and cookies


We collect information about your computer, including (where available) your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and we will not use it in isolation to identify you or any individual. If you provide us with personal data, such as your name, we will then match your IP address and browsing history (for example) with that personal data.


For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on your device. Cookies help us to improve the Website and to deliver better and more personalised content. For more information about our use of cookies on the Website, please refer to our Cookie_Policy.
