Types of Information We Collect
We collect information to deliver the services that our clients request. Some information that we collect can be used to identify you or can be reasonably used in connection with other information to identify you. This information is called “personal information” and may include your name, postal address, email address, phone number.
We only collect information about website users through forms that you fill in requesting a response from us and so it is presumed that this information is given with your consent in line with this policy.
When someone visits our website we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

We will also make occasional contact with you supplying information that we consider will be relevant and useful to you and to meet our regulatory obligations.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we will disclose some of the personal information that we collect with your permission to the delivery of agreed projects and activity.
Your personal information may also be disclosed to comply with any court order, law or legal process, or government or regulatory request, or if we believe that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of ourselves, our business, our customers or staff.
On occasions we may be asked by a client to engage with contacts that they provide to us. In this circumstance, the information will only be used for the client’s express purposes and it is deemed that we are acting on their behalf with your consent to make contact. Any such contact will include an “opt-out” link if you would prefer not to be contacted again.

We also use computer safeguards such as firewalls to protect your information.
Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
