Any communications that you do receive from us will set out how to opt out of receiving future communications from us if you no longer wish to receive material for any reason whatsoever.

 

We will only send you marketing messages if you are an existing customer, if you tick the relevant boxes at certain times, or have consented to receiving marketing information when engaging with us.

​

How We Keep Your Information Safe

​

We take your privacy seriously and as such we have policies and technical measures in place to safeguard and protect your personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, improper use and disclosure.

 

We will also take all reasonable precautions to ensure that our staff, employees, and contractors who have access to information about you, have received adequate training , and that any third parties who have access to your personal information are required to be fully compliant with any applicable privacy laws.

 

We also limit access to your information only to people in our business, and to any third parties, who need to have access to the relevant information for the purposes set out above.

​

We do our best to protect your personal data through: 

  • Password and fingerprint protection on all devices used in our business.

While we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal data, you acknowledge that the use of the Internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data that are transferred from you or to you via the Internet. If you have any particular concerns about your information, please contact us. Our contact details are set out at the end of this Policy.

​

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

​

We keep all of your personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose for which you gave us consent and as long as it is legally required if the latter requires us to keep it longer. We do not hold on to unnecessary personal information.

​

What Are Your Rights

​

You have a number of rights with respect to your personal information. You have the right to contact us at any time to ask us to:


(1) confirm that we hold your personal information (at no charge);
(2) provide you access to any records containing your personal information or a description of the personal information that we hold about you (subject to payment of a prescribed fee); and / or

(3) confirm the identity or categories of third parties who have had, or currently have, access to your personal information (also subject to payment of a prescribed fee).

 

Please note that, when making a request, we will take reasonable steps to confirm your identity. 

 

There may be times when we cannot grant access to your personal information, such as if granting you access would interfere with the privacy of others or would result in a breach of confidentiality. We will always provide you with reasons if this is the case.

 

If you are of the view that any personal information that we hold about you is incorrect in any way (inaccurate, irrelevant, outdated, incomplete or misleading), you are allowed to ask us to correct it. If you believe that any personal information that we hold about you is excessive or has been unlawfully obtained, you can ask us to destroy or delete it. You may do the same if you think we have retained any personal information for longer than necessary, given the purpose. We will do so unless there are good grounds not to (such as if we are required to hold it for a period prescribed by law).

 

Please understand that, if you withdraw your consent for us to use some of your personal information, it may affect the quality and level of service that we can provide to you. This may range from a lack of personalisation, and simple convenience (e.g. a lack of prefilled forms), all the ways to not technically being able to provide a service.
