How we share your information
We do not share your personal information with any third party or external organizations for any purpose other than those detailed below, unless we are legally required to do so. Where we do share information, we share only what is absolutely necessary.

We will never sell or pass your personal data to a third party for marketing purposes. We will only use your data ourselves for marketing if you have given us permission to do so.
Access to your information and correction
You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please email us, putting Subject Access Request in the subject line. Before we can supply this information, you will need to provide adequate proof of your identity. We will endeavour to provide the information to you within one month of the request for information. In line with UK GDPR procedures we will contact you should we require longer to fulfil your request. Under certain circumstances you have the right to ask us to erase your data from our records. We try to ensure all information we store is correct. If, however, you find that we hold incorrect information, please let us know and we will correct it.
Cookies
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful, and reliable. This sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, such as your computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally. These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:
- Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information during one task
- Recognising that you have already given a username and password so you don’t need to enter it for every web page requested
- Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and that there is enough capacity to ensure they are fast
