Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it is treated securely. Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers. 

Non-sensitive details (such as your email address etc.), are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100%. As a result, while we aim to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Where you have chosen a password which enables you access to certain areas of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. 

Use of ‘cookies’

Like many websites, our website uses cookies. ‘Cookies’ are small pieces of information sent by an organisation to your computer and stored on your hard drive to allow that website to recognise you when you visit. They collect statistical data about your browsing patterns and do not identify you as an individual. This helps us improve our website and deliver a personalised service.

It is possible to switch off cookies by setting your browser preferences to ‘disable Cookies’. You can also clear saved cookies on your computer at any time.

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations. This Policy applies only to our website, so we encourage you to read the privacy statements other websites you visit. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies of other sites even if you access them using links from our website.

Transferring your information outside Europe 

Some of the software tools we use have data centres outside of the European Union. Where this is the case, we have chosen to work with companies who have demonstrated that they operate in ways that comply with UK law.
