Your privacy is important to us. It is our policy (and promise) to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This includes: being transparent about the way that we use your information; giving you the opportunity to ask us to change this (or delete your details); and to helping you understand your legal rights to privacy.

HOW THE LAW PROTECTS YOU

Data Protection law says that we can only use your personal information – including sharing it outside of our organisation – if we have a proper reason to do so. In practice, that means we may only do so in one or more of these circumstances:

  • To fulfil a contract, we have with you;
  • When it is our legal duty;
  • When it is in our legitimate interest;
  • When you consent to it.

​A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. Even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. If we rely on our legitimate interest, we’ll tell you what that is.

WHAT WE COLLECT FROM YOU

We only hold personal information for people who have subscribed to our newsletter or who have approached us about working with us. The information we hold is:

  • Name;
  • Contact information, including email address;
  • Demographic information such as timezone, preferences and interests.

WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION

We don’t share any personally identifying information publicly or with third-parties, except when required to by law.
