5. How we ensure your privacy is maintained

When browsing our website, you do so over HTTPS. You will notice the padlock in your web browser indicating that we have an SSL certificate installed. HTTPS is a secure protocol that encrypts any data that you enter (such as on our contact form) and submit through our website, reducing the risk of data breach.

When storing your data, we use a variety of methods to keep it safe. These include:

  • Encryption – hardware encryption on portable devices, encryption within software, and encrypted backups.
  • Multi-factor authentication.
  • Staff training – our staff are all trained on cyber security and data protection and take it very seriously.

We also have processes in place to identify and report personal data breaches.

We will never use your personal data for marketing purposes unless you explicitly consent for us to do so. This includes our very infrequent email newsletter that we send out only to people who have consented to receive these emails.

We use a third-party provider, ActiveCampaign, to deliver our email newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see ActiveCampaign’s privacy notice.

You can unsubscribe from these mailings at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our newsletter emails.
