Privacy, and what we do to defend it

A privacy policy is a document that explains how an organization collects and processes your personal data. It also outlines your rights in relation to that data.

The GDPR requires all controllers of personal data (i.e. any organization that processes personal data) to have a privacy policy in place. That includes public and private sector organizations, charities and non-profit organizations, and any other bodies that process your data.

This privacy policy must be easily accessible, in clear language, and free of charge. It will help you to understand how your data will be collected, used, and safeguarded. It will also inform you about your rights in relation to that data. The following is our policy.

Sites we link to

This site may contain hyperlinks to other web sites that may provide you with additional information, products, or services. It is important to remember that these are completely separate websites from ours, administered by different people or organisations, and so this privacy policy does not cover these websites in any way.

We follow all recommended data security practices, including policies and procedures for data handling, such as ensuring data is encrypted when transferred over open networks; that access to sensitive data is limited to authorized personnel; and that data is regularly audited for accuracy and completeness.
