5. What Are My Rights

    • • Web browser type and version;
    • • Operating system;
    • • A list of URLs starting with a referring site, your activity on our site, and the site you exit to.
    • • Location?
  • We will also collect any data you provide us voluntarily, such as if you email us to subscribe to our mailing list.
7. How Do You Use My Personal Data?
  • Under the UK GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use it. Your personal data will be used for one of the following purposes:
    • • Analysing your use of Our Site
    • • Signing you up to our mailing lists if you request we do so
8. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?
  • We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your personal data will therefore be kept for the following periods (or, where there is no fixed period, the following factors will be used to determine how long it is kept):
    • • Analytics data will be anonymised to ensure that any data we keep for longer than 12 months will not be personally attributable.
    • • Where you have subscribed to a mailing list, we will retain your data for as long as you remain subscribed to our mailing list. You may unsubscribe from a mailing list at any time by using a link in the relevant email, at which point we will stop processing your personal data for this purpose.
9. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?
  • It may sometimes be necessary for us to share your personal data outside the UK, for example, with our service providers that are either located outside the UK or transfer personal data outside of the UK.
    • • Transfers of personal data outside of the UK are subject to special rules under UK data protection law. This is because non-UK countries do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom.
    • • As a result, when we transfer personal data outside of the UK we will ensure that the transfer complies with data protection law by following one of the below steps:
    • • Confirming that the recipient is located in a country which has been deemed to provide personal data with an adequate level of protection, for example countries located within the EEA.
    • • Putting in place safeguards such as approved standard contractual clauses so that you have enforceable rights and effective legal remedies
    • • Confirming that a specific exception applies under data protection law.
  • Please contact us using the details below in Part 14 for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data to a third country.

  • In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.
11. Can I Withhold Information?
  • You may restrict our use of Cookies. For more information, see Part 13
12. How Can I Access My Personal Data?
  • If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
  • All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 14.
  • There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests), a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
  • We will respond to your subject access request within one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
13. How Do You Use Cookies?
  • Our Site uses analytics services provided by Google. Website analytics refers to a set of tools used to collect and analyse anonymous usage information, enabling us to better understand how our Site is used. This, in turn, enables us to improve Our Site.

9. Can I Withhold Information?

The majority of the information we collect is necessary for our recruitment process and/or employment of individuals. You may choose to withhold information regarding equal opportunities if you choose.

10. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
