Why we use information and our lawful bases

We use personal information to operate and maintain the website, respond to enquiries, understand and improve how the website is used, protect the website and meet our legal obligations.

Depending on the purpose, our lawful basis may be our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving the website, your consent, or compliance with a legal obligation. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider your rights and interests and use information only where those interests are not overridden by them. Where consent is required, you can withdraw it at any time; this does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.

If personal information is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we will use a lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards where required by data protection law.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to enquiries, maintain the website, meet legal requirements and resolve disputes. The appropriate period depends on the type of information and why we hold it. We then delete it or take steps to make it anonymous.
