This Privacy Notice (together with our Terms and Conditions) tells you what we do with information we collect about you. It is relevant to anyone who visits our website, especially to people who sign up to receive information from us and therefore provide us with personal information (such as name, email address and name of your organisation).

2. What information do we collect about you?

We use the information we hold about you in the following ways:
4. Who we share your information with and why we do this
We may share information you have provided to us for the purposes mentioned in section 3 above. In particular, we share your information with organisations which collect, process, and store your information on our behalf, or which we use to manage our email communications to you. Your information is held on secure servers.
We may share analysis of our services with third parties, provided that the analysis cannot be used to identify you individually.
We will not sell, rent, loan or give your personal information to any other third party without your prior permission, except in order to comply with a legal obligation; or in order to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions; or to protect our rights or those of other third parties against error, negligence, breach of contract, theft, fraud and other illegal or harmful activity; or to comply with our audit and security requirements; or to audit compliance with corporate policies, procedures, legal and contractual obligations.
We may transfer the personal information we collect about you to companies based in the EU and also in the USA, in order to perform our contract with you. Throughout the EU, companies are bound by the same General Data Protection Regulations as the UK, however this is not the case with the USA. We will try to ensure that any USA companies we deal with treat personal information with the same degree of protection, either by agreeing to standard clauses provided by the EU or by signing up to protection agreements in their own country. However, you should be aware that the US government may have the power to overrule any such agreement.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Therefore, although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee that your data transmitted to our site, or information stored on our servers, will be free from unauthorised access by third parties or completely secure. Accordingly, any transmission is at your own risk.

8. How long may we keep your personal information?
We are only allowed to keep your personal information if we need it for one of the reasons listed in section 3 above.
As a general rule we will keep it for 6 years from the end of your relationship with us, as it is possible that we may need the information for regulatory reasons such as needing to prove our processes in the light of claims resulting from a dispute over service delivery.
