The data that we keep about you belongs to you; we ensure that we keep it confidential and that it is used appropriately. You have the following rights when it comes to your data:
- You have the right to request a copy of all of the data we keep about you. Generally, we will not charge for this service.

- You have the right to ask that we erase any of your personal data which is no longer necessary for the purpose we originally collected it for.
- You may also request that we restrict processing if we no longer require your personal data for the purpose we originally collected it for, but you do not wish for it to be erased.
- You can ask for your data to be erased if we have asked for your consent to process your data. You can withdraw consent at any time - please contact us to do so.

Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We will also use technological and organisation measures to keep your information secure. These measures may include the following examples:
All information is collected over an encrypted connection and is stored in an encrypted format.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
While we will use all reasonable efforts to secure your personal data, in using the site you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data that are transferred from you or to you via the internet.
