‘Personal information’ is information that would identify you, or from which you can be identified. It is important to us to protect your personal information. We don’t give it away or sell it and we have effective systems in place to protect it.

 

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

We collect personal information about you when you give it to us, usually when you complete an online form. We don’t collect your information from anywhere or anyone else.

We may also use ‘cookies’ so that you can customize our web pages or so that you do not have to keep filling in your details repeatedly. If you want to find out more about ‘cookies’ and how they work, we suggest you look up Wikipedia.

 

USE OF INFORMATION

We use your personal information in an effort to tailor your experience of our websites, products and services specifically for you. We want to offer you products and information you want, not material you have no interest in.

DISCLOSURE

We don’t give away or sell your personal information. We will disclose your personal information if we are legally compelled to. We might from time to time use another provider to help deliver our products or services to you. If they need your personal information to complete that delivery we will require them to use your information only for that purpose and then destroy it.
