Types of Information Collected 

We retain two types of information:

Personal Data

This is data that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you and may include your name, address, telephone number, email address and user IP addresses in circumstances where they have not been deleted, clipped or anonymised. Such information is only collected from you if you voluntarily submit it to us. We may also sometimes track who opened and clicked the links in the communications that we send, so that we can measure a campaign’s success.

We will only process any personal data you provide to us to respond to any communications you might send us or services you sign up to, and to enquire about your needs in terms of marketing.

Non-Personal Data

Like most websites, we gather statistical and other analytical information collected on an aggregate basis of all visitors to our website. This non-personal data comprises information that cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information regarding, for example, user IP addresses where they have been clipped or anonymised, browser types and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our website.

We use the non-personal data gathered from visitors to our website in an aggregate form to get a better understanding of where our customers come from and to help us better design and organise this website.
