What we do with your information

Any personal information we collect from this website will be used in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, Data Protection Act 1998 and other applicable laws. The details we collect will be used for the following:

 

• We may use your email address to send you information about products and services. In such a case you will be offered the option to opt in/out of these emails.

​

We may also share your personal information when we feel there’s a good reason that’s more important than protecting your privacy. It is unlikely, but possible that we may share your information:

• in order to find and stop crime and fraud; or

• if there are serious risks to the public, our staff or to other professionals.

​​

For all of these reasons the risk must be serious before we can override your right to privacy.

​

​

If we’re worried about your physical safety or feel we need to take action to protect you from being harmed in other ways, we’ll discuss this with you and, if possible, get your permission to tell others about your situation before doing so. We may still share your information if we believe the risk to others is serious enough to do so.

​

​

How do we protect your information?

​

We’ll do what we can to make sure we hold records about you in a secure way, and we’ll only make them available to those who have a right to see them.
