We collect personal data as defined by applicable data protection legislation (‘personal information’).

The personal information we collect might include name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, credit/debit card details, the company you work for and the industry you work in.

2. How do we collect information?

We obtain personal information from you when you enquire about our activities, register with us, send or receive an email, ask a question or otherwise provide us with personal information. We may also receive information about you from third parties, for example from our service providers or from a friend who wants to tell you about our websites or the activities we carry out.

We also gather general information about the use of our website, such as which pages users visit most often and which services, events or facilities are of most interest. We may also track which pages users visit when they click on links in emails. We may use this information to personalise the way our websites are presented when users visit them, to make improvements to our websites and to ensure we provide the best service for users.

Wherever possible we use aggregated or anonymous information which does not identify individual visitors to our websites.

3. Why do we collect this information?

We collect this information for the purposes described in section 4. The lawful basis for which we process your information is:

• your consent;
• processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party. If you fail to provide this information we may be unable to perform the contract;
• processing is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations;
• processing is necessary for the purpose of the legitimate interest pursued by us, except where your rights as a data subject override our legitimate interest.

4. How do we use this information?

We will use your personal information:

• to provide you with the services, products or information you have requested;
• to create an account for you if you register with us;
• to contact you about services we offer and resources we provide; and
• for administration purposes.

As part of this, we may analyse the personal information we collect to create a profile of your interests and preferences so that we can contact you in the most appropriate way and with the most relevant information.

If you enter your contact details in one of our online registration forms, we may use this information to contact you even if you do not “send” or “submit” the form. We will only do this to see if we can help with any problems you might be experiencing with the form or with our websites.

We will only use your personal information for electronic marketing purposes if we are allowed to do this by law or if we have your consent. If you agree to us providing you with marketing information, you can always opt out at a later date.

Our website uses cookies to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site. For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them see our Cookie Policy (section 11).

6. Your choices

You have a choice about whether you want to receive information about our services. We will not use your personal information for marketing purposes or share your information with any third party if you have indicated that you do not wish to be contacted in this manner. You can change your marketing preferences at any time by contacting us using our Contact page. Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates.  If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies.  Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

7. Will we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?

We may pass your information to our data processors, agents and associated organisations for the purpose of providing services to you and for the other purposes listed at section 4 above. Where we use data processors we will make sure there are appropriate controls in place.

We may also need to disclose your information if required by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies) or if we have your permission to do so.

We will not sell any information about you or your web browsing activity.

We may transfer your information to Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, India, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Peru, Romania, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and the USA, by sharing it with our other companies within our group. We do this by using the European Commission’s model clauses.

8. How long do we keep your information for?

We keep your information for no longer than is necessary, as required by data protection law. We will retain your information for any period required by law, for example for compliance with HMRC requirements. Where we are not under a legal obligation to retain your information, we will determine what is necessary by reference to the lawful basis for processing set out above and our legitimate interests.

If you have any questions about how long we keep your information, please write to us using our Contact page.

9. How do we protect personal information?

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that the information disclosed to us is kept secure, accurate and up to date and kept only for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is used. We protect your information in accordance with our Data Protection Policy.

You should be aware that the use of the Internet is not entirely secure and although we will do our best to protect your personal data we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal information which is transferred from you or to you via the Internet. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features such as encryption to try to prevent unauthorised access

11. Information about our use of cookies

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site. By continuing to browse the site, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree.

Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.

You can block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies.

However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies may include analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

We use the following cookies which enable us to recognise you when you return to our website:

• WordPress theme cookie (functional cookie) – used to detect device/screen size and ensure the site appears correctly on multiple devices.
• Google “reCAPTCHA” (necessary cookie) – used to help protect websites from spam and abuse.
• Google Analytics (analytical / performance cookie) – used to estimate our audience size and usage pattern.

12. Your rights

If you have created an account with us, you can sign into your account to access and update your information.

You have a right to ask us to confirm whether we are processing information about you, and to request access to this information (‘right of access’). You also have the right to be informed of the safeguards we have in place relating to any transfers of your information to another country or to an international organisation.

You may ask us, or we may ask you, to rectify information you or we think is inaccurate, and you may also ask us to remove information which is inaccurate or complete information which is incomplete (‘right to rectification’). If you inform us that your personal data is inaccurate, we will inform relevant third parties with whom we have shared your data so they may update their own records.

We want to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. If any of the information that you have provided us with changes, for example if you change your email address, name, payment details, or if you wish to cancel your registration, please let us know using the contact details at the end of this policy.

You have a right to obtain your personal data from us and reuse it for your own purposes, perhaps for another service, without hindering the usability of the data (‘right of portability’). This right does not apply where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.

You have a right to seek the erasure of your data (often referred to as the ‘right to be forgotten’). You may wish to exercise this right for any reason, for example where it is no longer necessary for us to continue holding or processing your personal data you may withdraw your consent. You should note that we are entitled to and reserve the right to retain your data for statistical purposes. This right is not absolute, as we may need to continue processing this information, for example, to comply with our legal obligations, or for reasons of public interest.

You have a right to ask us to restrict our processing of your information (‘right to restriction’) if:

• you contest its accuracy and we need to verify whether it is accurate
• the processing is unlawful and you ask us to restrict use of it instead of erasing it
• we no longer need the information for the purpose of processing, but you need it to establish or defend legal claims
• you have objected to processing of your information being necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or for the purposes of our legitimate interests. The restriction would apply while we carry out a balancing act between your rights and our legitimate interests.
• you exercise your right to restrict processing, we would still need to process your information for the purpose of exercising or defending legal claims, protecting the rights of another person or for public interest reasons.

You have a right to prevent us from processing your data for the purposes of marketing.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights above, please let us know using the contact details at the end of this policy. We will act in accordance with your instructions as soon as reasonably possible and there will be no charge.

You have a right to report any of your concerns about our use of your data to the Information Commissioner’s Office. You may do so by calling their helpline at 0303 123 1113.

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you (for which we may charge a small fee) and to have any inaccuracies in your information corrected. If you wish to exercise these rights, contact us using our Contact page.

13. Acceptable use

This acceptable use policy sets out the terms between you and us under which you may access the Site.  This acceptable use policy applies to all users of, and visitors to, the Site.

Your use of our site means that you accept, and agree to abide by, all the policies in this acceptable use policy, which supplement our terms.

14. Prohibited uses

You may use our site only for lawful purposes.  You may not use our site:

• In any way that breaches any applicable local, national or international law or regulation.
• In any way that is unlawful or fraudulent, or has any unlawful or fraudulent purpose or effect.

• To send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use or re-use any material which does not comply with our content standards at 6.3 below.
• To transmit, or procure the sending of, any unsolicited or unauthorised advertising or promotional material or any other form of similar solicitation (spam).

15. Interactive services

We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site, including, without limitation:

• a facility to comment on our blog posts; and
• interactive webinars.

Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not foolproof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
