Cookies are small text files placed on your computer by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and allows us to improve our site.
We only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
For data submitted via our website, we keep your details for 6 months from the date of submission, after which they are automatically anonymised. If you use a "Save for Later" function, you have 8 weeks from the date you saved your form to retrieve, complete, and submit it — otherwise it is deleted automatically once that period expires.
We do not, as a matter of course, transfer your data outside of the European Economic Area, and use UK or European data centres wherever possible. Where we use data processors with overseas-based data centres, we only do so in limited circumstances and only after a thorough due diligence process to ensure the continued safety and security of your data.
Because the data we hold about you is your data, you have the following rights regarding the personal data we hold about you:
You can ask us for a copy of all personal data we hold about you, to check that we are lawfully processing it.
If any information we hold about you is incorrect or out of date, you can ask us to correct or delete it, unless we're prevented from doing so by law or regulation.
You can ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it — except where we're legally obliged to retain it.
In some limited circumstances, you have the right to restrict the processing of your data.
You have the right to object to us using your data for direct marketing purposes and profiling.
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you in a commonly used, machine-readable format, which we can provide to you or to a third party you specify.
Automated decision-making is where a decision is made entirely by technological means without human intervention. We do not use or rely on automated decision-making.
If you would like to exercise any of the above rights, please contact us using the details on our Contact Us page.
If you have any concerns about how we handle your personal data, we'd rather you brought it to us directly in the first instance — but you always have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office ("ICO") by visiting ico.org.uk/concerns or calling the ICO helpline on 0303 123 1113.
For more information about your data rights and privacy or data protection in general, visit the Information Commissioner's Office website.
