HOW WE USE COOKIES

When you browse our website, we may collect personal information through the use of cookies. We use both essential and non-essential cookies on our website which collect information such as your browsing patterns and information about the device you are using. This information may be used to inform our marketing and future business strategies. Cookies are used to allow web applications to respond to you as an individual and do not give us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. The actual cookies contain hashed data, so you don’t have to worry about someone gleaning any of your details by reading the cookie data. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website. 

When we collect information about you from our website using essential cookies, we will use your personal information on the basis that it is in our legitimate interests to do so. We have considered our legitimate interests carefully and have balanced our legitimate interests against your rights under data protection law. We consider that this use is proportionate because the website will not work without them. 

When we gather information about you from our website through the use of non-essential cookies, such as analyzing web traffic, providing a better experience during your visit, identifying if you are a registered member, monitoring and analyzing the performance, operation and effectiveness of our website, or recognizing you if you have visited our website before, we will do so on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting our cookies or managing your browser's cookie preferences.

KEEPING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized manner. Access to your personal information is limited to those who have a genuine business need to know it and they are bound by a duty of confidentiality. We also have procedures in place to handle any suspected data security breaches. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of any suspected data security breaches if we are legally required to do so. For detailed information on how to protect your information and your computers and devices against fraud, identity theft, viruses, and many other online issues, please visit www.getsafeonline.org.

We hope to resolve any questions or concerns you may have regarding our use of your information.
