Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data.

Collecting and processing specific, relevant information is a necessary part of us being able to offer you the services and products to help with your business development or dealing with any enquiries or requests you may have.

We will use your personal information fairly and securely and will never do anything with it (such as sharing with any other party) that you have either not clearly agreed to, that could be considered irresponsible, or without clear legitimate interest. The lawful basis we use for this processing is “Legitimate Interest” for “direct marketing”. This is covered in the GDPR. The ICO recommend that companies using this basis conduct a “Legitimate Interests Assessment” (LIA), and we have done this.
