1. THE INFORMATION WE GATHER

Information about or supplied by users of the Site is not gathered directly by us. The information is gathered via a contracted third party (“Service Provider”) on our behalf. The Service Provider is a registered data controller. The Service Provider uses a number of security measures including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software which encrypts and ensures the security of any information you input using the Site. The Service Provider is based in the United Kingdom.

The following information is gathered in two ways, directly and indirectly:-

Direct Information Gathering

Personal information is gathered directly when, for example, you register on the Site, complete online forms or correspond with us by, post, phone or email. Personal information is information from which you, or another person, can be identified, for example, name, address or date of birth. This includes personal data provided by you when you:

  • create an account on our Site;
  • subscribe to our service or publications;
  • request marketing to be sent to you;
  • enter a competition, promotion or survey; or
  • give us feedback or contact us.


Indirect Information

Gathering Tracking information is gathered indirectly when you access the Site. This information is automatically gathered. On each of your visits to the Site we may automatically collect the following information:

  • technical information, including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform;
  • information about your visit, including the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through and from the Site (including date and time); products you viewed or searched for; page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from a page.

Tracking information is gathered using “cookies” or small data files which can be used, for example, to track the pages you visit. Although cookies do not hold personal information about you they are unique to each user of the Site so that the Site computers can distinguish between users. For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them see our Cookie Policy .

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
